great to hear from jon bateman! it seems like such a long time since we last maxed it up together. the point of listing my reading list was not an attempt to sound holy but an attempt to sound human, whether i finish it will determine that! forgive me for sounding overly self involved. when it comes to blogging i think you have to admit at least a little bit of self obsession. maybe not true for everyone.
football last night was mental after about 10 mins i was on the side heaving. i really thought i was having some sort of breathing fit. after 3 weeks with almost no exercise my fitness levels are even more depleated than they were before, normally i can last about 15 mins before i get a stitch. gutted.
im well looking forward to my holiday next week. i have the full week off with my parents and i fully intend to chill. this last week has been pretty good though i really feel like im growing into a new skin out here, although when i was back over christmas i didnt feel like anything significant had changed in my character. maybe ill come back all muscular and green like the incredible hulk... i wish, well maybe not green.
ive been going round the corner to chris and dale frosts house for food every evening in an attempt not to fade into inexistance. but ive got a meal out with dave, a friend from football, tonight. so its been good getting to know people out here and sharing in with their lives. as belinda stephenson recently said on her blog about their wedding, they wanted a community wedding, i have learnt the value of throwing yourself into community. good one bel.
God is doing everything i wanted him to do in me, moulding and shaping me to be more like him.
Romans 5:3-5
