Soul Debreif
Went to Soul again tonight. It was good. Played frisbie, had dinner watched the final Donnie. All good fun. Got a bit more into worship tonight. I love when the band stops playing and let people sing by themselves. I am still not a big fan of huge worship meetings, but I get something positive out of it. I still think U2 makes the best worship songs. 40 and Streets Have No Name spring to mind immediately.
Anyway then Mike talked about God’s passion for the poor and anger at injustice. Mentioned some of my favoriate passages. I was sitting there for a while feeling a bit smug with myself, I already have my plans to do some of that (India). Then I got to thinking more and realised that nothing I do will ever be enough. I am not giving up everything. Thank God for grace!
It means my imperfect attempts to do good actually mean something. Anyway, so now I’m like tripply pumped for India. I feel it’s the way forward for me. If it happens I could be gone in 12 weeks. That’s not very long. I’m starting to feel more ready for it. Still scared, no idea what will happen to me. Six months without friends or family. I think I might be making a few new friends over there.
Saw old TUC people at Soul too. Not sure how I feel about seeing them, think it was just awkward. Which I guess is to be expected.
Listened to a bit of Jazz tonight too that was fun. Did some tapping. Also caught food thrown at me with my mouth. A first for me. Went to Macca’s afterwards that was fun. Got a bit late.
Overall I think Soul was a good experience for me personally. It got me thinking a bit more about God stuff, and how that fits in with my plans. Gave me a fair bit of encouragement. Let me get to know people from my new church more too. It has left me energised to fight the good fight!
But now sleep is calling so my energy must wait for another day.
