I'm BACK!!!

Thats right I'm back, so far my blog has been little more that something to do when I'm not milling about doing something else like sleeping or jumping up my stair cases (sad i know but when your board you will do anything to keep yourself busy) and unfortunately i have developed a huge addiction to facebook and if you are reading this then it was proabably a link from facebook anyway.

I'm back because there has been loads of stuff happening over the past year thats both really excited me as well as really got on my whick, but dom't worry i won't regail you with all my worldly depressions, lets start with some of the big stuff thats been happening. Now as may of you who know me will have figured out by now i am a christian and not surprisingly the Lord has seen fit to challenge me with everthing he/she (not quite sure which) can through at me, starting with one of the biggest challenges of my life, going out to a foreign country to tell others about the good news of the gospel, which is all well and good but i had absolutly no experience doing this and i felt like i had been throw into the deepend with a big metal ball chained to my neck, but of course God bieng God gave me all the resources i needed to get me through including spiritual insparation, financial aide and (brand new) good friends who of course i miss a great deal sometimes because after spending about a month with the same crowed you kind of get used to having them a round and its sad when you have to leave and not see them so much anymore :/ but guys if your out there somewhere reading this you were great and i miss you all loads.

Big deal number 2 would be my brothers wedding of which i was best man *smug*, that was a great day, beutiful weather, my brother in a suit (rare thing trust me :P) and of course his wife in a gorgeous white dress, it really was a wonderfull day ad i even got a little drunk later which doesn't happen often. although to be honest the after party was a bit of a shambles, not enough seats, DJ wasn't booked and to be honest the place was a bit of hole, but the happy couple managed to enjoy themselves which is the main thing.

This summer really was something special, lots of things going on, honestly the most exciting summer ever. harvest this summer was incredible as usual although admittedly spending 5 days in a cold and soggy field isn't everyones idea of a fun weekend but we made it work, and of course with any weekend away there was adventure, well a slightly dangerous adventure involving me three others and a herd of INSANE cowsand the odd bull, of which we came out with more than a few cuts and bruises, but those of our group who left early, you really missed out. oh and int turns out that if you scream at a cow it will run away lol. but God used this time to challenge me once more on an idea thats been swimming in and out of my mind since march, and that was the idea of having a believers baptism at my church (Trinity Gosforth) in there brand new baptistry pool, God really inspired me to move in that direction during a talk about Elijah calling Elisha into the Lords ministry.

And so a couple of weeks ago i took the plunge and publically declared my faith in God, yes i was nervous but i had the right people backing me up, filling me with confidence, and the spirit seemed to really move in that place because many people came up to me afterwards with congratulations and telling me how moving my testimony was and i think its really special that my story had such an affect, and my hope is that the young people were moved similarly, as well as those there who have not yet found their way to the Lord. the thing that worried me most was the temporature of the water i was being dunked into, but luckily they had the heating on the night before so the water was just right, however like after any bath once i exited the water i turned into a human ice cube and nearly put my back out shivering but it was worth it to make that step with God :D. thats most of the good stuff out of the way but i will not send you to sleep with all the little things.

Christams was great this year, lots of pressies, food and family reunions, and what made it even better was the fact that the week before i got my drivers liscence throught post, thats right i passed motorists beware another detriment to the roads commeth.

before it leave you once more i would like to make special mention of a friend of mine whom ispired me to right this years life story Sean O'sullivan, one of my more gifted friends, mate if blogs are anything to go by, your novel is going to be awsome best of luck to ya matey.

anyway thats it for now folks, i will try and attempt to make the effort to make another post sometime soon, hope you have ejoyed reading and if you havent i honestly couldn't care less :P, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! people.

My Last SNOTS.

Hopefully if your reading this post your in my old Sunday night group because if your not then you won't know what the hell I'm on about. Any way Last night i attended my last ever SNOTs Sunday night, it's a bit sad i know but I'm going on to bigger and better things. The barbecue last night was great, good food(My compliments to the Sheff by the way), everybody having fun, and the rain managed to keep its distance the whole evening which made the barbacue even better, a real night to remember so i decided to take as many photos as i could for my last night, so i have put these up so that they will be here forever and a day if you ever want a trip down memory lane or just fancy laughing at the people in them. well here they are:

(right)Here we have budgie boy, the coolest bird in the world, you wont find a better bird capable of disrupting sessions, lol. this bird is a real part of the SNOTS crew, he did get a bit confused once and laid some eggs but we think he's recovering now.
Apparently budgie boy has gone off classical music now and prefers to listen to terry Wogan in the morning. [dont click this link]

(left) Jess, Rachel and Amy either finished or finishing there hot dogs, kindly provided by jeremy.
Here's the whole group, erm apart form john i couldn't get him in the frame, sorry about that john. This looks like a happy family don't it, oh and I am leaving it up to Chris and Micheal to keep control of the sofa, no offence girls.









I decided to take a few funny pictures of Chris, just as a bit of revenge for all the times he has started unnecessary arguments, and for generally acting like a smart arse, i think this one suits him dont you? so Chris your humiliation starts right here right now, pah and you though i was joking.









The picture of him on the right is of him rambling on about Napolion for ten minuits 'YAWN'.


(left)Here he is again looking even more of a wally hehe.






The girls playing twister, because they were the only ones willing to play, us boys aren't flexibler enough, although it would have made a very amusing picture if they were playing like, but there you go, still it was funny watching Amy getting her self tied in knots and surprisingly nobody fell over, but like i said earlier they're more flexible.

In the background behind the camera whilst this was happening we had john and Chris who felt i was a good idea to pelt wet balls off each other, and me, whilst purposely trying to knock the girls over in there horse play, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves (NOT!) haha.







Unfortuatly this post must come to an end, my blogger picture uploader is broken so ill upload the rest another time, anyway i hope you enjoy these ones.

P.s. should you ever feel the need to contact me, my email address is wales50@btinternet.com, or you can just leave a comment under one of the posts.

a dream i had last night

Hi
I Wanted to tell as many people as would listen about this dream i had last night, it was like a vision from GOD. i was standing in a church hall talking to various people who wanted to know jesus, and i was helping them by just talking to them and aswering their questions. one thing i did notice was that i couldnt see the heads of the people i was talking to just the rest of their bodies, which of course i thought was strange. i have had a bit think about this and come up with a few theories, but i think the main one is that everyone deserves to know about GOD no matter who they are or where they came from, this leads me to believe that god has a big plan for me in the future, which is a great feeling.

anyway got to go but thanks for listenin :D.
