Ok, so it seems like it’s always a long time between my posts on here. The truth is, I’ve never really developed my inner blogger. I’ve gone through phases of making a few new posts, and then stopping again for another 6 months before I find another topic to write about. And that’s probably what’s going to keep on happening after today, too! But I hope not. I find that I do a lot of reflecting in my job as a Christian Youth Worker, and a lot of the time I find it easier to reflect when I verbalise it in some way. Since I started this blog several years ago, I’ve been at International Christian College studying Youth Work with Applied Theology, and as part of the course I was required to write fortnightly reflections that were graded. But now I’ve finished at ICC and I’m no longer required to do those things. I still reflect, but I don’t write things down so much because I wouldn’t actually do anything with them.
But why is that? Why shouldn’t I continue to write these kind of reflections? I’m going to continue with them, and make posting on my blog a regular thing for once!
Not because I’m a big geek and want to continue to write essays still now I’m finished at ICC. But simply for the reason that I find it useful as a way in helping me to express and structure my thoughts and reflections. And they’ll also be there for me to read back at a later date to see how I’ve developed; how my youth work has developed; and how God is both using me and answering my prayers.
So that’s settled: I’ll make an effort to blog vaguely regularly, and I’ll use it to look back on my journey through life and youth ministry and see what God does!
(At least that way at least one person will read it!)
