The last time I left a post I was on a bus traveling home from uni. Again I am travel home but this time it's the train.
As I have said before the time away is although sometimes a hassel it has the feeling of refreshness attached to it.
I have no idea what I was dreaming about last night but I remembering waking up this morning thinking I need to write that down.
Although that thought has very much been forgotten. The quote of the day today has to be 'you are never more awake than when your asleep'
Nice idea I think because as the writer whom I have forgotten points out when we sleep we are shut off from the interference that can get in the way. Now I know from personal perspective that I can dream some crazy dreams but as with most things in the midst of the crazyness some times truth can peak through.
Now this does not mean I will be sleeping more but I guess as I approach the end of my second month at the job I am realising that I may be a litte to caught up in looking in forward instead of spending time with God in the now.
In so spending time in the now I will be able to find the time I need to be organised better something that I find a challenge.
The problem is that I feel the need to prove myself but to do that I need to let tomorrow look after itself in many ways although keeping an idea on were I'm going.
It will be a challenge but I just have to remember what I have learnt from two years of cym.

catch up
So it has been a while since I blogged but life has been well busy.
I am just on my way back from a set of study days at cambridge which has been a nice break from the first month in the job.
I don't mean that to be taken out of context but over the past few days I have been able to reflect about where I need to concentrate my efforts.
The problem is where do you start. Having the responsibility for everything youthful and young adulty which when translated means anyone aged eight and up. You can become overwhelmed by the task.
I think if I would not have been part of cym for the past three years I would been freaked out but having the extra knowledge behind me has given me the confidenc I need. So what am I trying to do at the minute?
I have been set the challenge of trying to reach out to the 18 to 25 group that have had or did have recent contact with the church. Not an easy challenge as this group may have moved off long ago. I have tried to make contact but no little success but I will keep trying.
The two other areas I trying to develop are the sunday morning 11 -14 group and the youth club looking group that currenly ranges from ages of 8 to poentially 16 what's that about?
So over the course of the next month I plan to introduce a bit of structure and plans which I hope won't be seen as scary change but helpful hand
