What's next

My apologies for lack of postage recently but lack of motivation and ill health have been a factor. Things have been really interesting over the last few weeks. The main thing going on with me now is what's next. I know I have 4 months left here and I'm really excited about that but my next step has been on my mind. I have a bunch of things open to me and I could do something completely new and different. The biggest thing for me is to do what I feel God is leading me to do and I'm not quite sure what that is right now. At this moment in time I'm truly up for anything and I mean anything because I now realise that god is bigger than what society thinks is "best". That often translates as playing it safe and whats accepted. I don't want to be "accepted" or do something for the sake of doing it. Is a college degree something that has to be done now, not necessarily. I'm just at a point in my life where I want everything God has for me. That could definitely be something regular, I have no problem with that but I'm just in the place where I'm open to what's irregular.

Krispy Kreme

Us small group leader guys are just sitting around our desk just discussing Krispy Kreme, the best doughnut place in the world so I said I'd capture the moment. Its just so good. Milk and doughnuts. I just want to cry because they're so good. Its my kinda hangout. 50's style decor, doughnuts and milk and good friends. Boston cream, raspberry, cheese cake. I'm learning to appreciate doughnuts a lot more. They're a really good thing.

Intimacy

God's been speaking to me a lot recently about this topic and I'm finally starting to hear him on the whole thing. I believe intimacy is the biggest key in our relationship with God. It is so much more than reading our bibles or worshipping. They are only part of the bigger picture of intimacy. Intimacy is about getting into the presence of God and staying in that place. Intimacy is communication. Talking with our Father. If you take the example of a marriage and contrast it with the relationship between us and God. In a marriage communication is so important. Sharing how our day is going, how we're feeling, our dreams, our desires, our frustrations. I believe our relationship with God should be the same. Honesty and vulnerability are so important. God wants us to be vulnerable with him. He wants us to want him. He created us for relationship and He's calling each of us by name back to him. I encourage and urge you to not forget why we were created, for relationship with our heavenly Daddy. He's waiting with open arms.

My apologies

Our wireless has been down since I got here so I haven't been able to post or email or anything but thankfully its now fixed so my posts will be more regular. All I really have to say now is stay in the presence of God, everyday. Its so key.
