...I'm really no good with titles

Again my apologies in the irregularity of my posts but its hard finding time to sit and just type emails, blogs etc so I'm going to try my utmost to improve...I promise. The biggest thing that's probably going on since I last posted has been my "guitar fast". About two weeks ago God laid it on my heart to just lay down music for a month. It was weird because it was like just a moment and the thought popped into my head really clearly. So why I'm doing this is recently I've found it hard to lead worship and just entering in myself. Also I found it becoming to much apart of my identity. So I've laid it down completely to just reexamine my motivations, my views and just setting aside more time for God to speak to me & to just dwell in his presence...and its working which is really cool.

Of course I had the crew from home over. It was brilliant. I loved watching God meet with each of them in their unique ways( which mainly involved symptoms of drunkenness). The conference was amazing...In all my time here I've never sensed the tangible presence of God like I did during that conference. God is good. I also was given a supply package of various food items which gave me the opportunity to spread the gospel of Irish chocolate & Hunky Dorys. Good times.

In terms of the daily goings on at the school things are going really well. This group of students are really gifted and just genuinely nice people. Everyday it just hits me how blessed I am to be here and sometimes its so easily to slip into routine but its just fantastic to be surrounded by people passionately pursuing God, waking up to worship every morning and just watching God work in people and in me too. Its really cool. I preached last Thursday...it was crazy...just having the confidence in myself to step out. Its amazing

All in all things are going really well. Your prayers are greatly appreciated & I'll try and be more regular in my postings.
