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

Christianity is a realtionship with GOD,
with God, if it doesnt turn our world around what will, no other relationship we can have, will have required someone to die to allow it to happen,
let alone need God's own son to die.
i feel so useless i cant even make 30mins for Him in a day, He made eternity, He provides my food, my bed, job, money, everthing for me and then I put it all ahead of Him
sort it out, in His power, love and strength, but also with me trying not to be better but getting up and walking away from the tv, extending quiet times when they feel dry not shortening them (St. Ignatius)
making the effort with people not just sitting around waiting for God to magic me, without me having to do anything whatsoever
take up my cross not sit on my ass

alright
just got a job with tesco's cold store distrabution, going 4 training tomorrow but i think it involves lots standing in a cold warehouse loading things off a convayer belt, nice :)
the pay isnt great but its work and thats the main thing, majorly in debt but no too stressed about it,
apart from that started a setting captives free course for freedom from sexual immorality which is awesome
motivated by another messy night on friday, it simply cant go on, but for God's glory not mine
anyway for those who might be interested i have also uploaded two articals on masterbation as a sin,
here and here
i havent read the first one but the second seemed to be making sense,
and seeing as its so hard to get a word out of the church about this sorta stuff i thought id put them up

keep it real
graham

back in belfast

just got back last night, good to be home eating nice food, hoping to get some work before going to Ibiza with 24/7 mission
looking forward to seeing everyone i have been missing
