A not so new beginning.

I am well aware that I should have posted on the internlog since September, but better late than never eh?

I have been an intern for 3 whole months now! Wow. Just 3 months...It feels longer- in a good way. I sort of feel like an expert now! (not in an arrogant way of course). I never realised what a huge field I was getting involved in! I am almost ashamed to admit my ignorance but it's true.

There are so many wonderful wonderful young people I get to meet and talk to about God. Some have such good insight! And the questions!Questions that keep you on your toes, questions masked as wise cracks of anger and hate to hide their thirst for the knowledge of God. I see it every week! That deep hunger for something more than themselves, but half the time they don't even realise it. Absolutely heartbreaking.

But on the upside, I am seeing young people engaging with and challenging the gospel Sam, David and I bring them. That really encourages me!

The invaluable spring that is re:generation church has been a place of fuel for me. I never realised how draining spiritually, as well as emotionally (hey, I'm a girl, we have a lot of feelings) youth and schools work can be!

(Definitely a big shout out to all those who do this permanently as a job!)
(Jamie and Ruth Poch, you guys count! :] )

I still have lots to learn (and hopefully lots to bring as well) this year and I'm having a blast doing it!
