When, on the 19th of September, I said that later that week I'd take a look back at the previous year, I didn't think it'd take quite this long. I would do it all in a post now, but it'd be super long, plus I guess I should do some socialising on New Year's Eve(!). Instead here are some headings, which I will elaborate on more in the next month or so (probably after my exams have finished!), that will provide some thoughts about what I've done, thought, said and been in 2008 (and cheekily some of 2007 as well...).
Things I've done
- Had my first 'proper' job
- Met a multitude of people
- Made a difference in many individual's lives
- Spent a ridiculous amount of time on the BBC Football website, even though I don't really care about football anymore
- Been deeply impacted by a lot of people
- Thought about reading a lot of books, and read none of them
- Successfully 'got over' TV and gaming (now for the internet...)
- Made some great friends
Things I've realised
- I have a lot of potential
- 'If you're good enough you're old enough'
- I worry a lot about a lot of things
- There are quite a lot of Christians out there, and there's an awful lot of theology
- I shouldn't constantly weigh others down with ALL my concerns
- God makes the big things clear
- There's a lot more to this world than we think
- It is very easy to make a difference in other people's lives
- I need to judge other people less
- I'm actually doing a pretty good job with my life
- The world is very broken
- God doesn't require that my theology has got it all nailed
- I do need to chill out from time to time (it's called a Sabbath)
- I'm loved by a lot of people
- Google is amazing
- I love a lot of people
- I need to find my identity in Christ, and not in what other people think of me, and how they act towards me
- Blogging can be good fun, and you can have some interesting things to say (sometimes)
