So i haven't made a new blog post in over 2 months and that's due to a number of things, finishing college the business of Christmas and the stress that has been trying to help my mother move downstairs to a new flat.
So 2015? What lies in store?
Do i have any new years resolutions? Well first off this year i want to do a lot of things, i want to work, I'm desiring to have a reason to get out of bed in the morning, I want to go on more adventures, and i want to film those adventures, and the most important one.
I want to fall in love with Jesus more and more this year.
Ive not really gone in depth about my faith in these blogs so i thought my first blog of this year would be on this subject, i won't go into depth about my testimony in this particular blog, but i will talk about a few things that have spoken to me so far this year.
Towards the end of 2014 i was getting a bit scared and stressed, i was finishing college and i didn't know and at the time of writing still dont know where i will end up, what i do know is that it is in Gods hands.
That doesn't mean im sitting back doing nothing by the way, im looking into and applying for various different jobs, what this means is that where i end up will be completely dependent on where God calls me and what doors are open/closed in coming times.
It was recently at church one of my favorite preachers Jordan spoke on how we shouldn't worry and even though it seems like a pretty straight forward message it hit me, that my worrying isn't just a problem affecting my sleep, health or mind.
Its affecting my relationship with God, you see worrying is a lack of faith, and even though i knew that i never really truly understood that.
And this brings me to today, we had a different morning at church today..
We watched a small DVD by Billy Graham (A renowned and well respected preacher who has seen thousands come to know jesus over the years).
For weeks we have been praying for this mornings service, encouraging people to bring friends with the hope of seeing people saved and people brought friends and some of those friends responded to the message.
I didn't invite any friends...
And i made the excuse that it was because i didn't have any friends outside church.
Which is almost true.
i also made the excuse that i was on computer and it wouldn't be right for me to invite someone new to church and then ditch them.
Which again is almost true.
But i wanted to invite someone, and if they're reading this blog they should know who they are.
(and if you're reading this blog, i'm sorry i didn't. i know you probably wouldn't really have wanted too come to church, but i still should have invited you. Also text me sometime so we can grab lunch at subway and catch up).
There are people i want to see saved, so many people,
and its not reservation, or fear that stops me, but bad expectations.
I expect people to say no so i don't make the effort as much as i should.
Its that lack of faith i mentioned earlier,
and with that i'm gonna swiftly move on to my next point from today's DVD service,
Behind the computer and sound desk at church is the creche, and towards the end of the service, while we listened to a song from the DVD i turned around and looked into the creche,
And there was little Joel (our churches miracle baby) dancing lifting his hand to the song with a great big smile on his face.
And even though i see him every week and we all constantly thank God for him,
this morning the faith of his parents and the blessing that he is really hit me.
He reminded me why i fell in love with Jesus..
And that's something i want to be reminded of,
DAILY.
