Right, I haven't been blogging of late, because I have had quite a lot going on, and to be honest I've been really emotionally and intellectually drained, and haven't really had much to give for blogging. For that I apologise. So what's been going on? Well, here's the deal.
My mom's mother is pretty sick, and she's probably going to die soon, so we've been spending a lot time arranging our lives around visiting hours, as well as seeing my uncle and his partner who are both down from Australia. It's really nice to see them again, but the circumstances really suck.
It was my brother's birthday the other day, and he's really having a rough time with all the stress in the house, and he and Cate don't get on well, I think. He never shares his emotions with anyone, but he's been feeling sick and that only really happens when the stress just becomes too much for him. I feel really bad because on one hand I know he needs to go through this and experience everything in order to get over it, but on the other hand I feel like I should be doing something to make it all better, I mean he's only 16. It's a really hectic thing to go through, and I'm sure he wishes he had a father, but he doesn't and I can't be that for him.
I've also been pretty nervous about what I'm going to do in the future, and now I have a wonderful job opportunity to be trained and work as an Air Traffic Controller. Everything is still up in the air [pun intended] at the moment, but I'll find out more on Friday after my interview.
I have also been told to get my thyroid tested because I've been feeling so lethargic of late, which is a bit of a worry, but you never know. Maybe that's why I've been feeling like I need to sleep for 12 hours a day.
Other than all of those things, I've been reading a wonderful book by a man named NT Wright called "The New Testament and the People of God". It's an amazing book which has kept me super interested since I started it and I'm sure there will be blogs to come about various theological issues, one of them being context of scripture and another being styles of preaching.
Anyway, now you know and I'm sure things will get better shortly...
