I'm going to try and turn this into a daily blog for a bit and then we'll see what happens. If it turns out well I guess I will delete my old posts or something - we'll see!
It's almost the end of 2013 - an interesting year for me as in it I completed my degree. Yet, 2014 is hinting to be an even more interesting year as Christine is getting married (in less than three weeks!), I am starting a postgraduate programme (still not 100% certain which I will be doing, though), I've transferred fully from Windsor Park to Northcross Church and, last but not least, I am now working at Birkenhead Library and loving it!
Everyone says that once you've got a full-time job (which I don't have yet, but still) you need a hobby or a club or something similar to keep you motivated. Otherwise you may get swallowed up by the convenient regularities of life and lose the things that make it your own. Unfortunately for me, I am one of those people who will start a hobby or two and then, after realising that it requires more discipline and determination than I can offer (and, of course, the novelty has worn off), give up and try find something else to distract me from my fear of the future (perhaps more about that another day). I feel this may be another one of those things. Hopefully I am incorrect and should have more faith in myself. Perhaps one year from now I will read this and smirk.
I am a big fan of 'fixing' or at least improving myself. You could say that that is a very negative way to view one's self - as something with a constant demand for a clean up. But I think of it as a positive thing. To me there is always a brighter future - a better Caitlin (yes, that's my name, if you weren't aware of that already) - and I want to get myself as close to that as possible. I'm also willing to wait to get there - or at least as close to there as I can get. And, no, I'm not a hippy. I might sound a bit post-modern/new agey but I'm really not! I am a Christian and thus I don't believe humans can change the world for the better. But I believe that we can make an effort. Honestly, if we all did I can't even imagine what the world would be like. But unfortunately that is near (if not completely) impossible so I won't get my hopes up. Wow I better chill out or I will soon start talking about something I had better keep for another day. (Incentive for me to come back and blog again!)
Anywho, I think this is enough for today. Even though I haven't really spoken much about the day itself.... Oh well, it was hardly an exciting day! I guess I should mention that I watched One Day for the first time and **SPOILER ALERT** I hate it how Emma died. Really, truly hate it. Ok, on that note I will bid you adieu and go back to reading The Sacred Search by Gary Thomas.
