Two weeks to go

Two weeks from now I will be in Ulverston! A crazy thought but time is flying by at the moment. Still there is lots to do here in Fetcham before I go! There's the summer youth group, a crash course for the confirmation group, the second issue of Revelation needs to be finished and of course a lot of packing.
I would just like to thank everyone for their interest in what I am doing and the magazine. It's great to hear the feedback on the magazine and I thank you all for your support. If you haven't checked it out go to www.revelationmag.org (sneaky plug, sorry).
Overall, I am really looking forward to moving to Ulverston. I need a new challenge and I can't wait to be around a new group of people and just generally working in a beautiful place. I really feel that this is what God wants me to be doing, which is an awesome feeling. Of course there is a bit of apprehension, moving to the other end of the country is a bit scary, but it's nothing compared to my fellow interns. I will be with an incredibly supportive and friendly church and God will help me deal with the challenges of being away from home.
I can't wait to get stuck in! Please pray for all of us interns starting in Carlisle diocese in two weeks time. I consider myself lucky being from this country and just moving to another part of the country, but the rest of these guys are coming from other countries, continents and hemispheres all to spread the word of God to young people in Carlisle diocese!
I'll probably do another blog before I go but if not see you on the other side!
God bless,
Charlie

One month to go

There's just one month to go before I leave for Ulverston.
What can I say? I am seriously excited to get going in this next chapter of my life. It seems strange not to be gearing up for another year of studying and deadlines but in many ways I'm still preparing for a different way of living. Naturally I am slightly nervous for leaving home and being away for along time but everytime I think this I get so excited about all the things all be doing and also the challenge of a new adventure and I really think I need it!
Last weekend some friends from Germany came to visit just for two days before heading straight back to work on the monday. It reminded me that I need to go and have my own adventure and to live like God wants me to. Not worrying about what will happen but making the most of the time we have here doing his work.
Vic (My boss in Ulverston) has sent through my timetable for the first two weeks in Ulverston and WOW does it look like I'll have a lot to do! I'm so excited to be working in so many different areas. I wont just be working in Ulverston with one youth group but many different place. By the looks of things I will be at:
Millom
Various Schools
Coniston
Urswick

Over the next few weeks I will be finishing up things in Fetcham - Packing has already started ... well more a pile of things to take is forming. The decision that still looms large though is, One guitar or two? ... One guitar is never enough!
Thats all for now! I'll post something in the next few weeks!
Thank you all for your support and encouragement!
God bless!
