It has been a while since I last posted here, but today seems like a super opportunity to share what God has been doing with me in recent weeks, espeically in the light of this morning's WordLive Bible readings.
In November, my last post, I was relatively positive about why God had put me in Edinburgh. But over the last few weeks, this has become even more clear.
Shortly before I went home for Christmas, I was asked to become the new president of Queen Margaret University Christian Union. I was amazed, scared, and felt this huge sense of responsibility on my shoulders...I was being asked to lead the Christians Union. And how did God guide my thoughts in the following weeks? Well, 1 Timothy 3 came up in two different, unrelated conversations, on two consecutive days. I had chats with several close friends, and at the end of the week was really aware that this was something which I could not run from...I wasn't going to do a Jonah, and run away, I couldn't do a Jeremiah, and say I was too young. I accepted the responsibility, tentatively.
As a university Christian Union, we will be working closely with UCCF:The Christian Unions, and on Christmas Night I chatted and debated with my sister and brother in law through UCCF's Doctrinal basis, (I recommed you take a look and see what you think).
So, chatting through all the points, and the slipper fits...I agree and can sign up to them! (Another confirmation)
And then today, 10th January 2011, I read 31st December's WordLive reflection based on Matthew 4:12-25, which was entitled Embryonic New Family...and talked about the calling of the disciples. The first page, pause and reflect, had the following words... "A new light is about to dawn, and new calling to follow...are you ready for what Jesus has in store for you next?'
AMAZING.
This has been a mad busy day, but pausing to reflect at the end of the day has turned into a real blessing...just thought I'd share this with you!
