2003 - The Year that Was

30 December, 2003 10:22 AM

Last night I spent some time reflecting upon the year that was (is - I'm a little a head of myself) 2003. It has been a big year. I've really enjoyed it heaps.

It was a year of new directions and fulfilling dreams. I moved on in my work from DCCC and started Livingroom in March which has been a long term goal. In that process we made friends with some great people. We moved house mid year into a place we love. We were fortunate enough to be able to travel to Tasmania and Europe.

I continued to work this year on completing my Bachelor of Theology (only 3 subjects to go - I did 4 great ones this year) as well as working for Forge/Dreamland and in the 'warehouse' sporadically throughout the year when the shifts were available.

I've had heaps of opportunity to speak on camps and at churches around the state and to be involved in marrying a number of couples. I continue to be energized by these opportunities.

Our family had a big year - with Nana celebrating her 90th, Dad his 60th and then Nana passing away recently.

I've stepped out of my comfort zone but teaching Religious Education in the local primary school and engaging in multi-faith dialogue on a number of occasions.

Blogging has continued to be an important outlet and place of exploration and building relationships in 2003. I've been fortunate enough to even meet a number of bloggers from around the globe in this 12 months.

This year has not always been easy - there have been moments of loneliness, grief, frustration and disappointment - but through it all there have also been some amazing times of discovery, euphoria and growth.

Thank you to those of you who have supported me here through this blog - to those who faithfully read my ramblings, those who have joined my email prayer support team and those who have sent cards, letters and even gifts.

I hope 2003 has been a year of life for you and your family and that the New Year continues in that vain.
