End of Year 2!

Well I've officially completed my second year at Uni studying to be a primary teacher - just one year left! Our lecturer said this morning - "In 15 months some of you will have your own class". That is such a scary thought...but kind of cool at the same time.

Well with this official end I hope it means I will have some time to write on this blog as it has suffered some neglect recently.

My first rant will have to be for the over consumed time and energy - fbook.
I was crawling through peoples profiles - as you do, fbook is a nosey world - when I saw all these different quizzes that you can do. These quizzes, depending on which one you take, can tell you their predictions about what you'll life will be like, how many children you'll have or when you'll get married. In the past I have found these slightly amusing, as it reveals specific dates and times that people will be proposed to or the different sexes of babies they'll have -until I saw a list of other possible quizzes. I was horrified to see quizzes saying "Find out what your NEXT boyfriends name will be?"or "When you'll lose your virginity?" with the tag line "will it be 13 or 40"!!!!!!

What is the world promoting?! What does society expect from this generation? Why would people even consider 13 to be socially acceptable?

Currently I have been listening to podcasts from Mark Driscoll about Gods designed purpose is with sex. How it is not a god or gross but is a gift and something that should be strictly held within marriage. Why? Because it is only within marriage that something so emotionally, spiritually and physically bonding can be protected, guarded.

I hope you have placed your belief and understanding of the purpose of sex in a secure and holy place.

Shame for not posting

I feel sad that this blog hasn't been so active for quite a while. I could list many reasons for this: - Uni
- Placements
- Church
- Boyfriend/friends/family
- Facebook

Yeh, I think there are too many distractions...especially the last one. I suppose this site has been running for a while and the excitement has died down. Maybe there is a realisation that my life is too busy? The only reason why today is free is because there is an inset day at school.

Well, to summarise my life recently - I'm still training to be a primary teacher, I'm in my second year which is ending next week!! Woo! I'm in a relationship/ courtship with an amazing Godly man and we are approaching 15 months together. I'm committed to a local church and God is changing and challenging me every day to grow to be a Godly woman.

I'm still not perfect, I'm still a sinner - but God is my saviour, my salvation, my strength!
