St John

Well uni has kicked off pretty well:)
I can cross *Join St John* off my to-do list and as soon as I complete my Senior First Aid course next Saturday -- I'm a member! I'll be a St John's Officer, uniform and all=D
I've been waiting an aaage to do this. Today I attended a New Member's Workshop in Newtown and was pleasantly surprised. Even more so to find that a block down from the workshop, there was an icecream manufacturer that sold 'baby size' servings of ice cream the size of your fist for $1. Read it ppl: $1!!! I felt amazingly ripped off when i think of all the times i got gelatos/maccas cones/other icy condiments/etc. *sigh*

Once i start my duties -ooh i get tingles just thinking about it o_O" Actual hands-on experience at events like The Rocks markets, concerts, Easter Show, parades, moonlight cinemas, etc etc I'll be doing what I've always dreamed of. Helping the community in a practical yet fun way. I'll also be learning a lot so that's a very real bonus for me, not to mention the millions of other things (there's too much to detail here so i'll do it as the year rolls along).

Here's a good place to thank God again for all his grace -grace i don't deserve. Everything i do stems from the fact that i love him and can't live without him. For all he's done for me through Jesus, whatever i can do to glorify him is all that matters in the end. Even tho it adds to a small amount in the whole scheme of things. So my hope through St John's is much more than just fun and brain food. It's about trying to look at every person that Christ died for through his eyes, and fulfiling his law to love my neighbours the best i can.
