looking back/looking forward


looking forward/looking back

I was talking to a friend the other night and they were asking about my job back at home, I reflected back and started to realise that I really miss it, I miss talking to people and trying to help them see past their troubles, I miss going into schools and finding out from the young people what they have been up to. I miss seeing them down town, meeting them for coffee, them popping round to see me. There is so much I miss.

I look back and I think what else would I do, than work with young people, what else could I do? I do not feel there is much else I would be able to do?

My friend said that I talk with such passion about the young people. I guess I do because I believe in them, I believe that they have something huge to offer us all right now, they help me more than I help them.

Also I started to look back upon my life over the last couple of year adn all it has been through and where it is now, some journey! The strengh I have gained the and insight, also the pain I have been through and put others through. It has been hard a lot of the time. It has been a rteal growing experience as well, but through all of it God has been there for me even when I feel I have turned away he ha still been there with me.

As I look forward I wander where I will end up upon my return to England, what I will do, all I now is that I want to make a difference to people in a positive way, how I'm not to sure but time will tell!

Mate your very capable, I don't think you need to worry bout lack of options.

You were good with the kids though eh. I look forward to hear what you choose.

Mate, it's decision time innit! Don't worry though, Jeremiah 29:11 - that's the verse I hold onto. I'm trying to learn that I can't and shouldn't try and control what's gonna happen. God certainly does know best and something that Mrs Curtis said to me last nite really made me think. God doesn't want what is good for us, he wants the best. Bring it!
Just stay in tune with Him and I'm sure that he will let you know where the next step is.

BTW, I'm going to Prague for the trip - booked my flights yesterday, just trusting God for the money now!
