24/7 Prayer 2012

Last night it all began, our church here in Thanet launched the Pioneer Church Network'sy year of prayer with GloGen being the first church doing a 24/7 prayer week.
For me I hope to find my place is God's great song. I want to be in tune with Him.

I started my session this afternoon with a look at something that inspired me many years ago from Rob Bell, from the Nooma dvd, well not dvd it's on my phone, Rhythm. I won't go in to detail, but what struck me was a verse from John's Gospel
"God is sheer being itself - Spirit. Those who worship Him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration."
I'm not normally one for the Message interpretation of the Bible, but this struck me and it started me wondering;

What does worshiping with my true self really look like?

Even more key to this line of thought, what does my true self look like?

With this I must return, I have great expectations of this week, and must continue. I have a lot of seeking to do.

God bless.

Hoping for a new start

Just downloaded Blogger for my phone, let's hope this does start something new.
I know I've been lax with just this one blog, but frankly I've felt I've had nothing to say that couldn't be just as easily conveyed over Facebook. Now I want to try and use this again whilst also expanding into other blogs based around my wargames, potentially one for each army (Dragon Lords Space Marines, my as yet unnamed Empire, and the yet to be started Lizardman host for Tale of War Gamers).

Aside from this new insight in to my deviant war gamer nature I will keep this blog for personal reflections and discoveries, hopefully with pictures!

So with this little addendum I bid you adieu and God bless

End of an Era

11 days until I'm married now

Friday, 26 March 2010

15 to 1, well,... 13.

Right, so I finally got my doctor's referral for the gym membership and when I went down for the initial appointment I got all the fitness tests needed. The first disappointment, but also not really surprising, is that I'm not an 'ideal' weight, the disappointment was that I wasn't just 'overweight' but right in the 'obese' category. With a BMI of over 30 my body isn't in a good way.

This isn't depressing for me however. I joined the gym, and am looking at going a good 4-6 times a week, with a session swimming with Jess in the bundle too. Throw in a diet, and I'm hoping to drop 2st for the wedding in July. I know that I've not been the best example of stewardship with the body God gave me, but thanks to the grace of God I know that this isn't end, and I do have a second chance, in fact as Switchfoot say, every breath is a second chance.


God bless,
Good night.

Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more... Redux

"I love that quote from Shakespeare's 'Henry V', in fact I love that whole passage. See it here and you'll maybe you'll understand why.

Anyhow, onto an apology;
I know I said in my last post that it would only be a small hiatus, that was back on July 9th, and with it now being September 21st I don't imagine many would call that short. So, for that I must beg forgiveness.

These last few months have not been easy for me and not many I reckon know what has actually happened in my life in that time. There will be a few of you whom are wondering to where I may have gone as they return to Bath, and I am no longer at St Bart's @ 7, there will be those who know I have left Bath, YFC, and CYM but have no understanding as to my motivation in doing so, they may not even care as to why, there will most certainly be those of you who have no clue as to where I am living or what I am doing there, and chances are there are those who don't particularly care. This post, then, isn't for those of you included in that last category."

Man I sure did like to moan,... So many of you will wonder what on earth that was about, I certainly do, and also may have noticed that it isn't exactly September anymore! I'm cleaning through my blog, looking into all of my old unfinished posts and well, giving them some closure.

It all seems so long ago, and I sound so bitter, and I guess I was, but by the grace of God, and the mercy of Jesus Christ I have come through the other side intact and even re-entering the world of youth work! Since January I have been immersing myself in participating at Global Generation Church, here in Thanet, and am currently looking at how I can serve the children and youth of Thanet through serving the church.

Exciting times are ahead, of that I am certain, because God, our Heavenly Father, has told me so through the prayers of friends who have held me whilst I've felt so distant from Him. My Circusry may see a return, God-willing, as I get involved in local primary schools and the rather mad GloKids children's service, and I will even be returning somewhat to my skateboard as I hope to get involved with the Pipeline project here.

Work-wise, I am still slogging through minimal pay, and minimal hours at the pub in Margate, but again, I know God has something written for me here that I cannot see, so I trust His timing totally in this. My own hopes involve becoming a primary school classroom assistant.

This blog has had many plans for it, and right now I want to say that I have none for it. I want it to be simple, to just be here for now.

Anyhow, I think I need to go wake my lovely wife-to-be, it's well past time for her to be awake,... wish me luck!

God bless,
Peace.

Just been enjoying watching the latest trailer for BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, and just from it's name I figured it would be anime loaded, but I didn't expect this!



Animextreme!
