A New Adventure

Today I start something new and I'm really excited about it.

At church I'm part of a Bible School course that they run through the year. I started the course in January and at the time I had to make some major decisions. The decisions weren't really life or death but they would dictate how the next period of my life would look. I'd been helping out on Thursday nights with a group of kids in church and I'd also been attending a church youth group on Tuesdays. The course was taught on both Tuesday and Thursday nights so I didn't know what direction to go... to stay with the kids and the youth or to start attending the Bible School course. I chose Bible School because it seemed to make sense. What could be wrong with learning more about God? In retrospect, I think it was the wrong decision.

While attending the course in the first semester I struggled with paying for petrol to even get there and God's hand didn't seem to be upon my attendance. Usually I soak knowledge up like a sponge... I really love learning but every time I sat in the classes I couldn't take it in. It was like my mind was somewhere else. Which it was.... it was with the group of youth.

Bible School took a break at Easter and right through summer and I went back to attending the youth group every week. I didn't really talk to anybody but I just went there to meet with God and just to see what He was doing and I just knew that I should be part of that. I decided to seek His face some more before I made a decision because I didn't want to make any more mistakes.

Nearly six months have passed since then and I'm now taking a step in the direction that I feel I'm supposed to go. I'm really excited about how God is going to use me there and I'm really excited about imparting what I've learnt to them and also learning more from everyone else there. I dunno.. I just feel like I'm on the edge of something and I don't know where it's gonna take me.

Needless to say, I'm not going back to Bible School at this moment in time and I guess I just wanted to put a reminder for myself to not just choose the path which seems to make sense at the time but to seek God's face in everything.
