Transition

My other family across the pond...Charika, my support, Sri Lankan mum, and prayer warrior! :)

Sian and I had a going away party...our dear friends Nat and Tain
I'll miss ASWW youth.

As I'm in the midst of transition, I've been thinking of Ecclesiastes 3 and a season of change...

There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot, 
   a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build
     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance, 
 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 
 a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak, 
 a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.

I miss London. But I know God has a new season for me in Seattle...a time to be with old friends and family, watch 3 kids, and intern at my old church (Lighthouse Christian) as a Youth Director. I've been so busy working 2 part time jobs to pay off college loans, so it has been hard to process being back in the US. Please pray for my transition and God would give me rest.

My good friend encouraged me that apart from God nothing is possible, but WITH God's help, ANYTHING is possible! :) I may not feel capable to be a youth director, but God is at work within me and I can do all things through Christ. I just want to be a good role model for the youth. We are called SYTE...Serving Youth on The Eastside. I am here to serve. I pray the Lord would use me to speak into their lives wisdom, knowledge from experience and His word, and love. I love hanging out with youth...they make me feel like a kid again! 

If you would like to hear stories about London, I'd love to share them with you. :) There's just too much to say in a blog.
