Ups and upper ups.

I have so much to be joyful about - and I rarely have time to acknowledge it all. God blesses me with the most wonderful friends, with the most wonderful opportunities to serve him, and to share with others about the awesome God we have.

I have a wonderful job that I actually enjoy doing.

I have a church which loves me and grows me steadfastly in his word. I have a youth group which has made a huge turn around, and is beginning to get their act together in following God and getting stuck into following him in obedience.

I have a girlfriend who has shared an awesome 6 months with me... and I look forward to sharing a bit longer too :). (for everyone else - we have no intention of getting hitched anytime soon.. don't read into it.)

I have the joyful prospect of a 4 day weekend fast approaching.

I'm not bragging about my life or claiming that I have something perfect - anyone who knows me knows that my failings are as close to the skin as my joys. But God has given me peace - and with that Joy and contentment in him. and its something worthy of such praise.
