trev and i
this is my school leader, he's 28 and single ladies! Hello there tree frogs and toad stools. So what be up with my home-boys and bo peeps back home (I hope that sentence made sense to you because i have no idea what i just said). All i know is, we should legalise bingo to keep Grandma off the streets...anyway...
So i really am going to try and keep this one short. I think it's been two weeks since last we spoke. I just want to take this opportunitiy to give a shout out to all of you good people who sent me comment and message on my last blog, it really warmed the heart, and stirred my emotions for back home...i miss you guys. For all of you who didn't write anything...up your game!....JUST KIDDING!! Thanks just for reading it, that means the world to me.
So the last two weeks have been two of the most important in my life...well there was that first week where i was born, that was pretty key..and there was meeting Jesus..but after that are hese two weeks. The first of the two was definitely the most important week after birth and meeting Jesus(being saved, not actually visually seeing Jesus just incase
SBFM 2008
i have to spend everyday with these people:) any body was freeking out). Anyway back from the rabbitt trail...so the first of the two weeks is what I am calling Rediscovering Grace. Our lecture that week where on the Beattitudes in Matthew 5, it is the first thing Jesus ever taught on that is recorded. OH MY GOODNESS. Not only were the lectures amazing, but God was just revealing Himself to me the whole week. My quiet times with Him were mind blowing. I feel that this was THE week that God brought me to SBFM for, obviously the others were important and lead up to this, but this was the crux of everything. It was a week where i rediscovered and discovered God's grace. I realised how there is nothing i can do that cam impress God, against God's Holiness and Goodness, there is nothing i can do, but it is okay, He still loves me and accepts me and ADOPTS me as His son. All i had to do was choose Jesus. Rediscovering Grace will be the single most important thing in life, love and ministry. I know that there is way more to learn, and i will be discovering and rediscovering it for the rest
Back Street of Paia
My view every morning of my life, but this week was key, and the anchor for the rest of my life. I am going to be returning to this week several times over the course of my life i feel. It was a mind blowing time of revelation...GOD ROCKS!!!
This last week was also rad. We had world view presentation week, where we were divided into groups of two and had to research a prominant worldview/religion and then give a two hour presentation to the class for a grade. We worked on it for two weeks. Myself and the Aussie chicken, Sophie, were in a team and we did Hinduism. It was interesting. Basically we are all an illusion, and we have to escape this illusion to achieve liberation so that we are absorbed into the infinite nothingness...aint that just good news. We did really good!!!
Well that's about it. We have been working really hard this last few weeks, but we only have three weeks left and the work load in terms of reading greatly decreases to give us time to process all that we have learnt over the last 2.5 months. So that's right i'll be home in 3 weeks..i

Walking on the beach with girlfriend. Finally some free time. hope you are ready😊 I can't wait to see everybody, but am also going to miss all my new and old friends here. Also not seeing my beautiful girlfriend everyday is going to suck😞 Also this has been the most important stuff i have ever learnt in my life and has completely changed the way i see the world and increased my understanding of how desperately this world needs Jesus!
Anway that's all folks. Will hopefully pop you another one before i get home. Please keep praying for me, coming to the end of something usually means one starts looking towards the future, but when you are me you start looking towards the future before SBFM even started, so i just need to focus on what God still has for me now in SBFM, but still remaining responsibily foresighted, whilst trusting God, it really is a fine balance! (That was a Paul the Apostle sized sentence right there!)
Okay love you all and miss you lots!
Ps: we got a hitch today with a guy, who at first seemed normally strange, until he started telling us how we used to be like dinosaurs, but are now mamals so
we have an extra nervouse system function which we to discover through this new method of yoga he had invented, which one can do easily whilst sitting in a chair. You close your eye and pull the eye nerve back into your head until it changes shape, and then, wait for it....the love gene is released...it was here i realised he was weirdly strange...God bless Maui!
