Reality picks up from where summer ended

16th September 2012.
No more Olympics/Paralympics.
Schools have resumed.
Christmas decorations are now on sale in some high street shops.
I guess I can safely say that the summer break has officially ended even though I don't start university for another 3 weeks or so.
It's been a great summer full of fun and madness at Newday, where I had the privilege of being one of the leaders who went with the youth from Reading Family Church, as well as a time of peaceful reflection and excited anticipation about the term ahead.

I honestly don't know how to put into words the experiences of this summer. Although I didn't go abroad or go on mission anywhere, I'm going to start the new term with a different perspective, and in particular, a fresh understanding of my relationship with God. Something has definitely changed. It all sounds so cryptic and teasing, but sometimes words have to fail us in order for a person to actually realise how precious and indescribable experiences can be. So that's where I am right now- a literature student unable to process words. That should make writing my dissertation fun.

Short blog post today. The next one will be longer and it is something I've been working on for a while.
