But then again, just reading back over my last blog (which was nearly written a whole year ago!) I realise that while I feel like I've been coasting, that God is fully in the drivers seat, and at times while we're learning stuff we can't take it all in and we do have to 'coast' just to sit back and enjoy the view, but also to learn where we're going and what we're leaving behind. This might be anything from growing stronger and leaving behind things that we thought we couldn't do, to the little achievements that can be swept under the carpet, but really do mean something.

I vow next year to meet up with more students and to set this as a precedence in my job to meet with people, to strengthen them and to encourage them and to challenge them. When we feel like we've reached somewhere high we need to look at how far we've come and be thankful to God. I have learnt things this year, and I need to take time to drop my tools and remember before moving on. Things are changing within the light project, Chris is taking things on a more national scale and my role is increasing its hours in september, me and craig are going to Egypt for our honeymoon and I'm really looking forward to having a break, even if it is after a manic lot of organising! and even if we do crash out just a little bit! I want to experience something new and good and to realise God again, and to be captivated by him, and to grow with encouragement as well as through the hard tough times that seem to help me grow the most. I need a little bit more motivation to keep on going, and I need a holiday, a time where I can just take a day out, listening to God and reading, and spending time with him. I need a mini break at a beach or something!

So, that's a little bit more of a positive note. I can't believe how much I've written in the past few years, and how my writing isn't that bad! I need to keep writing I think to be able to digest thoughts and view points, and this is how I will end up growing. By keeping an online journal, that will be helpful!
