thats what friends are for

Its hard to believe but I've now been going to Thriving Life Church for nearly 10 months, its been an amazing journey... I've went through the have a made the right decision thing, the being lonely thing loads of different emotions... but the more I'm there the more like home it feels....

over the past few month i feel I'm starting to really develop friendships... all my christian life I've longed for friends not just people i know but people i can share this journey with honestly... I'm a long way of that at the minute but i really feel I'm on that road and pointing in the right direction
i have had this kind of friendship in the past but for some reason it ended or at least 'cooled'

so here's to the future

I'm really excited about the vision of TLC... God I believe is going to d ostuff beyond what we could even think and we are thinking BIG ...

bring it on!!!

Cut To The Chase 0.5 by lee and baz

So its been awhile...

I often think about blogging here but never seem to get around to it until.... now

this little blog is about something that's been going round my mind for a while...

its seems to me that sometimes we (including me) are very quick to judge and condemn for whatever reason...

and Ive had to catch myself on several times...

what right have I to judge anyone about anything... i have a friend who has 'only God can judge me' tattooed on his arm... and he has a point

this was brought home to me very recently listening to the 'controversial' song by Derek Webb called 'What Matters More' of his new cd Stockholm Syndrome

I recommend you prayerfully listen to it, but be warned it contains a word that may offend some people...

very interesting that nearly everyone Ive either let listen to the song or told about it have highlighted 'the bad word' while missing the whole point of the song.. loving no matter what and not judging

yeah this kind of thing is very interesting to me how sometimes we can become so focused on one thing and we seem to miss the whole point.
