Starting CYM

Hi folks, haven't written for a while but so many people are asking about my course and how it's going I thought I would start this blog.
I have completed the Trinity College Open Learning course on the Historical Books of the Old Testament. I had to sit an exam which was kind of tough but I got through it. I did write to many words though but we will see how it went!
This week I begin my 3 year degree course "Youth and Community and Practical Theology". This week I have to go on some community days with all the other students so please pray for me and my family who are home alone! Well Iain's there but you know what I mean.
On Monday next week I have my first day at CYM. The plan is to take Mondays and Tuesdays as study days whether I am at the college or at home. As well I this I will continue to work 14 hours at the abbey including some work at the local youth developement centre. I am also very excited to have Dave Wiles from Frontier Youth Trust as one of my tutors. They work with young people at risk.
I have just written 1000 words on my expectations and calling and my first 500 words essay on a book called "Dibs".
I will try and let you know how I get on and how I might grow in my faith so watch this space!

Love Sarah

  1. Hi Sarah,
    Just wanted to say good luck to you on CYM. It was the best thing I could have done at the time and I pray that God will richly bless you, Paul and the young people in Malmesbury through it. Dave Wiles was my fieldwork tutor and is now a good friend and esteemed colleague. (he even cooked me breakfast on my birthday last week!) I hope that things go well for you.
    Every blessing, Dan
