A few thoughts...

I probably won't have a chance to write anything here for a while since I was so kindly reminded today by Fraser, my maths teacher, that its now four short weeks till my final exams. So here's a few thoughts to keep you all busy over the next few weeks.
Yup, four weeks and its all over. Scary thought eh? Thats what has been going through my mind for the past couple of weeks whilst I was on holiday, a well earned and much appreciated holiday at that, and yes, it does scare me. It scares me that in just four weeks, I will have done my best to get the results I need to go to Uni in September, or not done well enough and I have to go back and try again.

Another thing that's scaring me right now is that I took over the singing company (junior choir) at the Army in January for a trial period (supposed to be lasting a month), and suddenly I have little people to be responsible for. Like having my own little people family to watch over, encourage and in some cases, learn from.
It scares me that I might not be the best for them or what they need right now or that my studies are going to take over and I'm going to lose that connection with them that I got back in January when I first started. It scares me that these kids are now watching every little thing I do and may or may not copy what I do, repeat what I say or act how I act and I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet.

If you didn't already know by now, our Officer (minister) Chris was taken into hospital a while ago and was diagnosed with having a mini stroke. Now this came as a complete and utter surprise to every single one of us. How can a man his age and with his energy have a mini stroke?
And yet, every time I ask how he is, he tells me he has nothing to complain about. What a guy?!
He gave his testimony during the meeting on Sunday night (as he's still not allowed to work properly) and he was clearly meant to say something that night, either to help me or someone else, I don't know, but he read the words of the song "I'm in His hands."
This song has become one of a surprise favourite of mine over the past couple of years since it was sung at Music School by someone.

I'm in His hands
I'm in His hands
Whatever the future holds
I'm in His hands.
The days I cannot see
Have all been planned for me
His way is best, you see,
I'm in His hands.

Enough said, I think.
