Life is abundant.
Just an update on whats been going on the past few weeks:
With the role of a 2IC comes responsibility and responsibility has always been something I shied away from because the way I see it, the less responsibility you have the less possibility there is for me to screw up.
I guess maybe I am just comfortable in my place in church at the moment or maybe just I don't see myself as capable to take on the role, but maybe Ruth sees something in me that I don't. Another leader at church said to me that if I had felt confidant in taking on the role it proberly wouldn't be as much a good thing as feeling inadequate (as I feel now), because when you feel like you can't, it's a perfect opportunity for you to rely on God's strength.
I've told Ruth I will do it, and I do really want to. But it's just me being me, and not wanting to disappoint anyone, I'm going to have to overcome this fear and really stretch myself.

I've come to the conclusion that the chances of me ever getting married are even more unlikely now, considering my list took up about 2 pages.
Am I being unrealistic? Hmm... okay so fine, so maybe they don't have to love cats as much as I do, or even like doing household chores, but they do have to love God more than they love me. Maybe I should scrap the whole list and put it down to that one point, for my own sake...
It also doesn't help that Murphy's law seems to be: if you see someone as a potential - the feeling is never mutual. Just as well really....
I can't remember a time my life I've felt any busier than this. And though amongst church, university and work, I have had hardly any time to myself (or even to write on this blog!). Everyday it's like I have to be somewhere, see someone, or do something. University work is a killer at the moment. I have so many large and time consuming assignments that have all conveniently arrived all at the same time that just trying to find time to do them is a huge time management task. As Andrew always jokes, I need a personal assistant!
- Ruths asked me to be her 2IC at church.
