Becca's Back In Town!

Christmas - the season that we all build up to and then just like that its over again!

But as Sarah reminded me in her preach a couple of weeks ago in church - we are in the season of Advent!!! We are awaiting the second coming! We celebrate that Jesus was born! We await Easter - when we will look to His death and resurrection! And in the mean time - our lives are building up to that day when Jesus will come again! So we are...in advent - we are waiting for Him to come again!

Christmas is an interesting time for me. I think except for when I was younger - Christmas has always been a strange time of year. I was actually reflecting on it whilst with the family - just ...I dont know know really but something always seems to crop up - or I just seem to, well think deeply about things when it is the Christmas season.

Im now back at the house of 22. On the train home I was thinking how this year will pan out - I dont know! What I do know is that I have 13 and half weeks left on placement which inside im so looking forward to being over - but I cant hep but think, that really I should be embracing the whole experience rather than wishing it to be over. I just guess that at the end of the day - is what I am doing on placement really what I want to go into. This new year - haha Im going to try and make a resolution. Not about giving up chocolate, going on a diet, or whatever the "usual" things are... but I am trying to give work my all, and my best - and to try and remember that utimately all work is for the Lord. I think I shall write that out and stick it on my computer - a daily reminder to me. I mean...ok so I may not be embracing the whole work thing - but I am there for another 13 and half weeks - I might as well try and make the most of it....
Oh Lord - please help me! lol

So getting back to Christmas - it was great to have 2 christmases!!! Weird to spend it with my family in a different place - but it was nice to see ma and pa again and watch lots of tv!
Doctor Who was among the best of the tv! I mean David Tennant on Christmas day - can't really ask for more to be honest! lol!!!
Actuallly I think the highlight of my Christmas with the family was actually going to church Christmas morning and getting to know the new church family that I am now apart of - even though it is only very slightly. They are a really lovely bunch of people! And it is good to be getting to know them!
So looking back on the time that we shared - it was a good one.
And now I look forward to the New Year - and what it brings....especially what happens after my weeks on placement are over.

What will I be doing?!
Working
Travelling (please be the latter!!!!) lol
Where will I be?
