Rehearsal Over

Yello,

So, three months in and Rock SAT has been scattered across the UK. It's a whole new world, to quote Aladdin, which isn't something I'm prone to do, but seems apt for the moment.

That said, I'm yet to find out exactly what my world will look like. Tomorrow at 9.00am should start de-misting the horizon. There'll be a good chunk of training still to do - really, you could say that whether I was the newbie I was in October or Chief Instructor - but sessions 'for real' will be starting soon.

I'm looking forward to actually working with the kids; it's a chance to do what I came here to do, and what I think God wants me to do during this time I'm with Rock UK. I'm not sure it will be something I will do forever, but that's why I'm glad Rock SAT is a whole two-year programme. It gives me a chance to do something valuable and worthwhile for these twenty-four months, without anchoring me in concrete to what I'm doing right now.

We'll see. Perhaps I'll fall completely in love with it all, now I've got the chance to 'go live'. I'm glad that God doesn't require me to work out the minutiae of my life right now, because - to quote the epistle of James - I don't even know what will happen tomorrow.

But thankfully, God does.
