Milestone

Yes ladies and Gents, tomorrow (or today when I click publish) marks my first full week at "The school of the mis-represented gospel"'s 6th form. It has been a struggle not to slip back into the conformity again, but by Gods strength (and, I have to admit, his strength alone) I'm just about managing to rise above it.

I'm begining to think maybe now is the time to start a school C.U. I have said about this before, but I have never felt that the time is right. But now, I feel God is saying it is time. It is time for the handfull of christians to be comfortable in letting their faith be known. It is time for the small group to support, encourage, and build each other up. It is time for there to be a group of people willing to stand up and reprsent the true gospel.

Anyway, the theme of encouragement is popping up a lot at the minute. For a while now Martin (Thompson (DYO (I said hey, ho, DYO))) has been reminding me to encourage those around me at Staple Hill, so that's nothing new, but the theme has been on my heart for about a week now, and I have always been a huge fan of Barnabus in the Bible (the guy who convinced the christians to accept Paul, and mentored Paul during his early ministry). I think maybe God is calling me to become a mentor to someone, not only to benefit them, but to help me grow i my faith. Problem is, I'm not sure who and hopefully God will show me someone. Acctually, as I'm typing someone is coming to mind, but 00:08 in the morning isn't the best time to start contacting people about it.

For those of you who have commented thank you for doing so. It's really good to share my confused ramblings which normally take place in my head, and be able to get a second opinion and advice. I suppose that's why I have managed to get into this blogging thing.

Well, back to the main battlefield. As you were, soldiers!
