New blog, whoo hoo...

I haven't blogged in about 10 days now and I make no apologises for that. To be honest, I've been feeling pretty down of late and so have not had the drive to blog nor any happy words to publish. I just thought I'd blog now though so I have a new blog bit that maybe some people would like to add a fresh comment too. I know, it's all so boring and drab.
There we go, I'm blogging so there's a new blog on the screen. Whoo hooo............

Hello everyone,

A very happy (and delayed) new year to you all! I hope whatever you did was good, fun, wholesome and clean fun.

I am back in Cheadle Hulme now and have been since last Tuesday evening.I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. To be honest, I'm having a hard time re-adjusting my head if I'm being honest. I got into a lazy, no-work-to-do mindset when I was back in Norn Iron. Now, I'm finding things a bit more of a struggle. I dunno, it's just strange, can't quite put my finger on it.

I taught for the first time since getting back tonight. It was at Impact, the 14+ group after church. I was so unsure and shaky about this one as I prepared as I asked God what He wanted me to do with it tonight and He seemed to give me an idea that would take all of 5 minutes in a group that can go on for an hour and a half.

I was like, "wha!? Is this it?!" bit of a stupid thing to say to God really.

I give Him all the credit, all the glory and all the thanks after tonight.

I got a text when I got in from someone who was there tonight and they were just saying how it was a great time for them and God and they got a lot out of tonight, I was so thankful for that steadying text. Even if I hadn't got that text tonight, I knew when I was doing it and when it was over that God had used me and all my nerves, stupid thoughts, doubts, all left me. I know it's cliche but you know what, it's so unbelievably true, that God just used a silly wee man like me. I was doubting, I was a bit apprehensive but you know what? God used me. It was God tonight. He did it. He gave me the ideas and even though I was unsure, God did it! God did it! It was God!

What can I say? Hallelujah
