Suddenly
I feel like a bit of a 'burke' for what I wrote last night, but anyway today is another day...
I was just remembering back to the start of the year when I was down in 'Clutha. I went to hear this missionary woman with one of the people I was staying with. Anyway while we were there she uttered a prophecy over the group along the lines of that for each of us in this room this would be the year of suddenly's. I was thinking over the past year and realised that there have been a lot of suddenly's occur already in my life.
-suddenly my hair and chops of 3 and a half years are gone :P
-suddenly I have a new close friend in A.J. Its strange to think that at the start of this year I didn't even know him. Whats more since I do not make friends easily or quickly the fact that our friendship came into being so instantly (like from the minute almost that Kelly and Ruth introduced us) is very sudden.
-suddenly of all the most unlikely people I have found 'happiness and joy'. Never did I expect it or seek it and yet I thank you for so suddenly coming into my life.
-suddenly I am considering doing missions work and how best to achieve it. I know it is so Christian of me (really I had no hope being brought up in a church as the son of 2 of the founding members and then going to Bible College) but I have been inspired to actually use my degree to try and embetter the world, as opposed to joining the rat race. I pray that I will achieve this 'suddenly' and do not want to forever be a 'whitre picket fence' Christian.
I thank my Father for all these wonderous blessings that have been poured out on me thus far this year. I ask that I do not forget these or fail to see whatever more You have coming my way. I pray that in the darkness I will remember these blessings as they are and let the devil not twist them in my heart.
