i got a phone call yesterday from similarity systems in dublin, they are happy to "take be on board" for a placment year next year :)

its sort of strange, i always thought i would be doing this right from last march time, but then it took so long i thought it wasnt going to happen, and i got quite used to that idea, i have some really great friends on 3 year courses who i will miss they're final years and probably not see a lot of them ever again.  which is really crap.

i never like to get settled in one place, it keeps me more reliant on God, cause i know He is the constant that nothing in this world is, so maybe its for the best, maybe its not, but He is in charge and that is what i want my life to be

 

yo,
just want to give God some glory for how He showed up last night,
i was out in the limelight with everyone cause maeve and rory are back.  i was drinking a few stella and then the ususal stuff started happening with girls but this time it was different when it got to that moment where i was going to kiss them, i was able to resist, when i was on the dance floor i just found myself jacked into God praying and speaking in tongues(just to between me and God) and then we got back to 32(the party house) and this girl another house mates' friend was totally wasted on drink and pills and trying to shag anything that moved, she ambushed me on the way back from the toilet but again God was there giving me a way out of the tempatation, and then at about 5 i went to sleep in jenny's bed and it was totally cool, just slept at the other side of the bed didnt touch her or try to kiss her or anything (i know that's what u'd expect but if you rem some of my other blogs from this year this is pretty much miraculous :) so although i came home tired and did have a few beers, there was no sexual sin and all because of God's grace and the way He has been inpacting me throught the bible and teaching on the Purity course on settingcaptivesfree.com not that this course is a solution but it is showing me bits of the bible to help that i didn't even know where there, or how bits i thought i knew really relate
so Praise the Lord
i am only on day 16 of 60 so please pray for perseverance aswell :) 

alright
hows it goin?
im doing pretty excellently to be honest :) working away at a couple of different jobs, most comically i was a security guard yesterday! i have got a job in roast the coffee shop, so hopefully i can get lots of hours there and see a few ppl i know.  still doing my pure freedom course on settingcaptivesfree.com which is tough but good, to think that God can free me from the gloom and darkness (pslam 107) is totally amazing, i have been shocked by how much understanding of sexual temptation etc, God shows in the bible, another "not available in sunday school" revelation. 

the best 4 days ever

was over in guildford for the 24/7 mission team training(i am going to ibiza on the second team in august)
and it was INCREDIABLE never before have i been surrounded by so many normal genuine people, who are just absolutely addicted to Jesus
initally to think that God would use this bunch of wasters to carry out something of His will in Athens, Barcalona, Brazil, Ediburugh, Inappa, Serbia, Ibiza and Newquay seemed ridculous
but as we considered God's rescue plan for the world: have His Son live with a 12 very ordinary flawed guys tell them to tell other people, die and rise again, it gave me hope that maybe a few people commited to pray and follow God's voice could actually make an impact in the most unlikely of places
indeed, as people spoke of the moravians, celts, reformers and those who had seen revival in church history it seems God loves to move in losers and weirods to His Glory

so aswell as feeling closer to God than ever,
i come away with a hope that God is moving in europe
and that you can live the dream, its not just a teenage phase or a student indulgence
but that life can be chasing after Him
