Recent Events – well since the last blog :P
Hi everyone, sorry i have not updated this blog in so long, its been a rather hectic few months, i will try and summerise so that i don’t waffle too much.
About four months ago i felt very blessed because i had managed to get myself a job on my second interview, little did i know that it was going to prove to be one of the most difficult transitions i would ever have to make, from being a graduate enjoying endless free time, to an average working joe earning a wage every month. nothing quite prepares you for the sheer shock of the pressure and the responsibility. Since then its been a fairly up and down ride, having really good days where everything goes well, i learn a lot and i keep my boss happy, then there are the days where everything just seems set to out of control, i get stressed, i make mistakes, my boss gets irate, and has on more than one occastion threatened my job. In the recent month of January i have really been struggling to settle in, i feel like i am constanly beening belittled for making minor mistakes or not knowing some what my boss calls “simple” things. He has now set me the task of doing 100% of domestic computers and simple business support jobs, an objective i think he knows i cannot complete successfully, and i just feel like i am being set up for a fall, especially when i have a review for that objective next tuesday, but the jokes on him because there is only to of us it technicians working for him and if i leave there will be only one left and the other technician goes on holiday next friday so if he fires me next week he will be right up a creek lol, but thats upto him, as for me i am at the point where loosing my job is more appealing than keeping right now. But i dunno, i am not really sure how to handle the situation, any suggestions please comment below

Anyway enough of me complaining about my job, there has been some really exciting developments to, for instance at the beginning of the month my mum got baptised as a believer which was really awesome, its encouraging to see her faith taking strength again, because i know it has been quite difficult for her for a number of years, its good to see her back on track
.
Another really cool thing has been happening with me, in that i am now leading a christian student lifegroup, for one of my two churches. Its been really fun so far, the stuff some of them come out with is incredible, i see this as a way for me to grow in confidence with my faith as well as help them grow nearer to God, i love my lifegroup particularly because we are all friends even outside of the group so thats always a positive when trying to lead them, it helps them get more comfotable i feel. But the only downside to all this is that i have actually been struggling quite deeply with my faith, because of pressures at work, i have stuff happening all the time, IT’S COLD! I am still dealing with a lot of old personal issues i am just feeling realy exhausted in every way, and a little lost in terms of where i am suppose to be going with my life, i am constantly asking myself ‘ am i on the right road, is this truely where i am meant to be?’ so if you are a christian or believe in the power of pray then i would really apreciate it right now, i feel i need God now more than ever but i am struggling to find my footing.
anyway enought for now, I think i have depressed you all enough and contrary to my opening statement i appear to have waffled lol.
See you another time, probably in another 6 months

Bye
