This weekend

What a lovely weekend. Started with the Saturday morning prayer meeting. How wonderful to be in Gods presence with others and to see and hear of his faithfulness and grace and love abounding. He really is a truly wonderful awesome God. After some shopping, the rest of the day was spent with Jules, just being together, watching some Battlestar Galactica series one, chatting and eating together. Quality time. So good. I feel really blessed.
Sunday was similar. Church in the morning, and what a wonderful time that was. After some inspiring worship, we welcome some twenty odd into membership, which we consider be welcoming into our family, Gods family, the church. The rest of Sunday was spent with Jules. We went over to the sports centre to see if we could find someone to talk to about a diving course, but alas, no-one was available.

The interview

The interview went well, Chris was friendly and direct. After a brief overview of the company, I gave a brief overview of my history work wise. Chris then gave an overview of the job and said that he thought I would be suitable for this job and with a little training and experience to go further. The hours are 6am to 6pm (12 hours shift) 4 days on and 4 days off. Sound not too bad. But... it seems to work out that for 3 weeks running you wouldn't a weekend off. Overall if I was single I would probably jump at this opportunity but I'm not and have therefore decided (after a chat with my wife) not to take this any further, but to continue to pray and to look. I have a good job and therefore I can take my time to find the right job close to home.

On a different note, I've been looking at other blogs and websites and have decided that this one needs a revamp. I have been trying out different options and will decide soon. The only thing I'm not too sure about at the moment is whether to go for 2 or 3 columns. I'd prefer 2 columns but apparently 3 columns is best. Thing is this is a blog, not and advertising website. So may be i'll go with 2 columns, looks cleaner, less cluttered and easier to read IMHO.

Job Interview

Sa some of you know, I live just north of London and work in North Watford. A round trip of 52 miles (approx 83 Kms) where in the morning I leave the house at 6:20am arriving at the work place at 7am ish. I leave work at 3:30pm and arrive home at 4:45 most days. I am grateful for this work, and I believe it is God give and I know of others who travel further then me each day to and from work. There are some differences, they love their work, mime is a job with no prospects. I enjoy it to a certain degree, had worse jobs, but, now that I'm newly married, I would like to spend quality time with my wife, not being half a sleep. I would also like to have life outside of work and do other things like a diving course, which isn't really possible at the mo. Also its difficult to invite friend home from work of dinner of even just a cuppa and a chat. Anyway, I saw this job advert and prayed about it, and applied. I hand a phone message so called back. Chris wanted to meet as soon as possible. I asked if the job was shift work, he informed me it was, to which I said that I wasn't looking for shift work as I've just got married and want to spend time with my wife and not be like passing ships in the night, to which he replied that there are other jobs and that he still wanted to meet. This will be today, Thursday and I have no idea as to what the job will be.... watch this space....

Brighton

Jules and I arrived in Brighton for the Leaders Conference on Monday afternoon about 4pm. We booked into our hotel. The Paskins Town House is a delightful place on Charlotte Street.
The conference opened on Tuesday morning. The worship and teaching has been wonderful. Even better than last year, which was good.
The conference opened with Stephen Van Rhyn from Cape Town, South Africa, followed by Rob Rufus from Hong Kong and then Terry Virgo. Three great speakers. The talks where amazing and drenched with the power of the Holy Spirit and the Glory of God. Truly awesome. A wonderful way to open a conference, and the rest of the days there continued in the same vain. God was in the house, as some would say.
I'm not going to write about the talks, Adrian Warnock is doing that (it takes a while for his blog to load... ). You can also down load the talks for free from the New Frontiers website. Enjoy, be enriched, be blessed.
