I was at a youth strategy meeting this morning which covered a wide area and a lot of people. It was worthwhile going, but left me reeling from information overload. I then went straight from there to another meeting where we we rushing to make decisions about an event that is about a month away. I came home to a relaxing cup of tea before heading off to my new work place to get a CRB form checked. Home again for some blog reading, cooking dinner and now I have just completed the days admin tasks. I’m about to convert the office to our guest room as my Dad is coming to stay the night. Then there is a bible study to prepare for later this week. That is just today. Tomorrow I have two meetings and I’m hoping to go up to London in the evening. Thursday I have three meetings, and then two again on Friday! It’s a busy, busy week, but I’m gaining lots of knowledge to help me in my work at the church on the hill. I just hope I can digest all the info I’ve received today before I learn more tomorrow!
I’m also trying to decide whether to go to New Wine this summer. Reasons to go include getting to know people from church better, and getting some spiritual input. Reasons not to go are the new house and new job will all just have happened and perhaps I should stay at home. Another option would be to go on a retreat by myself (or another conference if the dates work) in the gap between my current job and the next. However, that time is more or less earmarked for sorting out the new house! Decisions, decisions!
