Because I am cool like that and my holidays are quickly disappearing from my current life, which quite frankly is probably best for me since I have become quite lazy.
I think this would be a good chance to talk about my holidays, I've just been staring at this post with only that first paragraph for the past 10 minutes and not really knowing what to talk about.
My holidays, overall, have been pretty amazing. I think I took them for granted way too much but all in all I enjoyed them to full extent. My holidays didn't really have an official start, I left my course with Scripture Union in Queensland in September-ish and pretty much bummed around for a very long time after going on a short vay-cay to Brisbane. I regret for the amount of laziness I let myself get into, with the exception of volunteering at Schoolies weekend and getting my uni application sent in November. I don't think I got a whole lot done in those 2 to 2 and a half months to be honest, shamefully.
Christmas and New Years came around and I think that's when my motivation boot kicked me up my backside. I got out a bit more and did a lot of reading and lessened my hours spent on the internet. Start of January I got to spend another glorious week by the Murray River with friends and family. We've spent annual trips there for over a decade but I never get sick of it. Renmark is such a beautiful place and it's good to be away from the city for a little while.
Since my lazy break I've decorated my bare bedroom walls a bit, had my two best friends from Queensland visit me and started to get into spending more time with God. I'm really glad that I've had this sudden burst of motivation to read the Bible and spend some time just not doing anything except marveling God's love. In the past I would start reading a book of the Bible but then miss one day of reading and never get back into it, but now I think I have a real desire to actually read the Word every day. It's cool.
Next week I start my journey with my degree in Social Science (Youth Work) and I'm genuinely looking forward to not knowing where it's going to take me. I need to go into this school year with no expectations so that God can use me and talk to me and teach me in ways I would never imagine. God gave me this passion for youth work for a reason and I'm going to find out what that is.
