hello!
some of you reading this dont know me well at all, and some of you know me all too well. that’s not a very good introductory sentence, but it’s midnight and this is my first time doing anything like this.
i am a senior at souderton area high school, which of course begs the question “where are you going to college?” let me tell you that i take joy in rejoining “i’m not.” as soon as the person who asked the question looks embarassed, i say “i’m taking a year off to do missions work in England.”
that’s the most significant thing in life at the present time. as my high school years are coming to an end, i’m starting to prepare for the next part of my life. it’s been said that i’m “taking a year off.” let me tell you that i’m not preparing to have fun or take it easy. i’m starting to prepare for nine months of continuous work of advancing the gospel. i’m not suggesting that i wont smile while i’m there, but i am telling you that this programme is something God will use to prepare me for the greater purpose of my life. i can see myself graduating from seminary and going straight into the pastorate. i can see myself walking into my church to find a desk full of “people problems.” i can see myself coming home to a neighbourhood of dysfunction, and i can see myself look back and think “my time in England served as preparation for all of this.”
thanks for your support.
