Breaking the Silence

So following a year of silence on the bloggin world, I am now;
1) Employed full time and working my butt off (except right now as I write this!)
2) Taken it upon myself to complete the Mizen 2 Malin cycle with a group fo people from Saintfield
3) Am getting married in July

So life is busy.

Currently the only thing worrying me is the cycle. Over 400 miles of cycling within 5 days. 7 weeks of training. Pretty intense.

Feel free to follow me as I venture forth over the next coupla months.

It's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Homeless

I have just discovered I am to move out of my current accomodation within the next few weeks. I will revert back to my more rustic dwelling, and if you see me in my new abode, please feel free to stick yer head in an' say hello.

"I want to thank this opportunity..."

That doesn't even make sense!

Ships

"A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."


How great is my wee calendar? Most of the time it's cheesy and rubbish, but sometimes it provokes me to actually think for a moment.

We have been created, 'built' so to speak. I think that's fairly obvious to most people. But if we have been created, then for what purpose? To sit here idling away our days, working through our lives, just to die and be returned to the ground? That would be like a ship in harbour. It's there; it floats; but it's not exactly fulfilling it's purpose. A ship was built to be at sea. It's only made out of steel and bolts, but it has a greater calling. The person who built it has a purpose for it. We're like that. We've been built to do greater things even though we're just flesh and bone. The Bible tells us that God has created us, and if God has created us, then we have been made for God's purposes. And if we want to know what God's purpose is for our lives, then we gotta listen to God, and there ain't no better place to start than with God's words, the Bible.

Ships are quite simple to build if you think about it. It's just an inanimate object that floats. How amazing must be the purposes that God has in mind for us, the most complex and diverse creatures He's ever built!
