Last things...

The end of the ministry apprenticeship for me is quickly approaching. So I’m experiencing the reality that some of the things I’m doing are actually for the last time - last chaplaincy meetings, last staff meeting, last time looking after the kids, last mentoring meetings, last night of D-Train…

It’s a very strange feeling when things that were once part of your everyday week start coming to an end. It brings such a mixture of feelings – excitement, regret, sadness… Its very strange. Soon I don’t think I’m going to know what to do with myself :)

Sex Talk...

Last night I did my first official talk whilst being in this job, & yes it was on sex.

It was to the girls at D-Train (youth group) & I focused on Psalm 51 which is the Psalm David wrote after committing adultery with Bathsheba. So I mainly talked about sexual sin being a result of our hearts, just like any sin is, & then went on to stuff about repentance. But I did go into the world of dating & sex stuff for teenage girls at the end.

I must say I was pretty nervous – more so about the delivery then what I was actually saying, ‘cause I have a tendency to speak to fast (well that’s what I have been told anyway :) )

But I think it went ok – was a very interesting experience.
