Why am I here?

If ever there was a question as to why I am studyring in Edinburgh rather than anywhere else, this question was clarified this week.

Firstly, yesterday was my first meeting as part of the Foolproof Theatre Company. It was a real sense of confirmation that God wanted Fiona, Jo and myself to meet and work together. I first met Fiona Stewart in the youth venue at Keswick 2009. She was interviewed on the stage at Late Nite, on the only evening that I attended the Late Nite programme. Afterwards, we exchanged details and then didn't have contact for another year, until September 2010. The work I am involved with is a mixture of acting, writing and improvising in an educational environment.

Secondly, because of my contact with Fiona Stewart, this morning at 847, I recieved a text message from a guy called Jason, who works for New Scottish Arts, with a view to doing an initial piece of acting work in their 2010 Christmas show, with the potential for future work. Incidently, the production takes place on the only Saturday evening that I am free between now an Christmas!

Thirdly, this morning's Bible Passage, Acts 13:46-14:7. Whilst reading, and asking God to speak to me, verse 47 hit me between the eyeballs...

47The Lord has given us this command,

"I have placed you here

as a light

for the Gentiles.

You are to take

the saving power of God

to people everywhere on earth."


This reading is the culmination of three highly significant events in a week of questioning what God has planned for me, and why He has me here at QMU.

The song that then came into my head is one of my least favourtie modern Christian songs...'Light of the World'
