Tea in Korea
Happy new year to you all!!
So I just arrived in Korea, well you know me always on the move!! This process of getting here took about 10 days in total. Yes was very quick. Why Korea, what am I doing and how am I doing?
Well this summer I went to Canada to have good holiday and to try and find some work. Because since I graduated summer 2005. I have yet found work. Fortunately I did not find any work in Canada, however had a great holiday and was nice to catch up with friends. Thanks for the memory's Dan!!.
So in November I was back in UK, no job and with no direction. I ended up going back to catering and bar work. Which for me is a no brainier job,hence no challenge. Thus I my head space was not very good was getting down. At this point wanna say that's Mum for your support, she is a gem. Slowly but surely I was getting more down, I needed some direction. Otherwise I could see myself becoming very depressed, and apathetic. Which I know this is not what I am about. As while in Canada I had a lot time to think, I look at who I was in past. That Darren was confident, passionate and like trying new things. Yet back in UK I was not this Darren. So one night I was like "God I need a change, a challenge, something" or I will become a grumpy old git living at home until I die doing casual work. I may here some of your selfs saying you also need to be active to get things. Well you are right, so after my prayer I just email varies places that night even though was NOT FEELING confident. From youth worker, pastoral helper, and I also just ask for more information about teaching conversational English abroad. I had nothing to lose eh was about 16 December. Now I was thinking ok now its the waiting game. Most emails came back, thank you but not now ect. However I got info back on teaching abroad, and every time I sent email 10 minutes later I would here back. It happen so quickly. Probally the best way really. Yes this is a big challenge for me, but I know I need to do this. As I am a Guy who needs to learn and communicated with people, the corporative life not for me. One thing i am learning is passion is fed by being challange and lately for some reason I was shying away from any challanges, (maybe fear of failure) and just doing things which was gave me no challanges at all. Yet that was the reason i was feeling like how i was. So in nut shell i was failing my true self, by not taking challanges of life. My being and faith need challenges of life or our will just melt away. "faith by itself if not accompanied by action is dead" James 2:17
