Aberdeen University Library
With lectures not starting until next week, I took the resulting day off to visit friends in Aberdeen, where I spent a year working for my church in a DNA year.
I’d been putting off this return for quite some time. Because, when I left, I was starting to see fruit and breakthroughs in my work that I’d been struggling to achieve all year. So to leave just as things were kicking off…was hard. Not only this, but I’ve found the past few months in Perth to be the hardest of all. Adventure 3 is turning out to be a tricky one!
But I felt it was time. And it was.
I met with various people, and I failed to meet with many more. I even got to go inside the new Aberdeen University library! I appreciated every catch-up. But one moment will be in my memory until ‘senior moments’ take it away!
I was able to go to a P1-3 assembly at one of the schools I served. They were always a joy when I did them regularly, so to go back after so long was an incredible experience! But the moment that will stay with me will be of one particular P3 who, when praying, used the prayer technique I taught the kids as his way of praying! Wow! I’ve left a legacy in that school!
But, now I’m refreshed. Ready for another term of madness, strain, confusion, and general, old-fashioned growth!
Here I go. I’m ready, ready, ready…
