I have been thinking a bit about the darker side to my character, and not so much about trying to ignore it or deny it, but to understand it and embrace it. In an understnading of my weakness and imperfection, there is a freedom. I have often heard people laying the guilt trip to allow God into all our lives and not hold anything back. But I think its the opposite if you hug someone halfheartly you will never feel the fullness of their embrace. Instead of worrying about the dark parts of our character and how God mite not like them, we instead need to trust him when he says He loves all of us and abandon ourselves to the full embrace.

vj your face off
loads of stuff goin on at the mo,
kat and amy from my cell in southampton came over with ruth and emma there and now my friends, i got my first proper vj gig in belfast and put about 30hrs into my set complete with newly learned after effects and priemer skills to play the best set i've done so far, which was cool. even better was that gav my mate was djing at the same time, saturday, was a bit of a trip met some afticans who i did street reach with, got a strange good deal on phones with cash back and then met a random brazillan missionary who got the cash back. one of those truly bizzare moments when you meet someone and know its not by accident and the whole phones thing was probably all invloved in some divine conspiracy to get this chick over to england, but whilst telling me encouraging stories about living by faith and praying for me.
then went and say andy rambo from my costa rica gap year djing in a bar in lisburn called distill which was actually pretty cool, desite cigarettes and a situation where a little kindness was misread. just about to pick up a car tomorrow from a mate, totally free of charge, awesome, big up to Jesus and the old lady who had it, so all being well ill be the prod owner of an automatic 91 metro tomorrow evening awesome! then its off the edinburgh to enjoy the brief few days left of ryan's bachelor life, he will be hitched on sat which is a scary and exciting prospect, with the added bonus of getting to go comando in skirt for the day in a totally socially acceptable way, whoever invented kilts knew a thing or too about freeedom, but then i suppose all scots do...
