Nothing of Value!?

So i sat here reading Louise's blog (link on the right hand side!) about helping with the homeless ministry that her church does and it got me thinking! I realised that i have done nothing of great value at all this weekend, not that it hasnt been fun, i've just not had one of those 'wow' moments or 'the penny dropped moments' or done anything to really help somebody other than myself! I guess at the moment I'm fed up with placement, ive been there for just over 3 weeks now, and still have another 4 and a half to go! There's so much work to be done for it! I guess i'm just completely tired out physically, mentally, spiritually, But it is just one of the stages that come on the rollercoaster of life and soon i will be heading up the next steep slope!

Now i come to think of it i did kinda have a 'ah ha' moment! I was watching 'Dangerous Minds' a great film about a teacher and i was thinking that everything i see i think of it from a teacher's point of view. I now can't watch a film with a teacher in it without analysing what they're doing and deciding if they're a good teacher or not! (example, Jack Black in School Of Rock, was a good teacher because he appealed to the things that the children were specifically interested in! if you need more detail ask, coz there's lots! lol, im such a weird person!) Yeah, so realising that i see everything as a teacher, made me think that i should try and see everything from a Christian point of view. Instead of just looking at what i've done, actually looking at what things i can do to be more Christian, to live a better Christian Life. I shouldn't get bogged down with placement stuff, because it's where i'm meant to be and i should feel priviledged to be there at all!

Wow, blogging certainly sorts things out in your head! Altho it also shatters my dream of being in bed before 11pm! (i do have 2 minutes to make it, but i need to make a cup of tea, get a biscuit, get into my pjs etc etc etc! and now only a minute left to do it!)

ah well nevermind! "He [the Lord] makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul." Psalm 23:2-3
