Monday Morning Mumbles
29 minutes past midnight. A first for monday mumbles!
You would think that 4 teenage boys, one of whom turned sixteen today, tucking into the seafood buffet at Sheraton on the Park would make for an interesting experience, and you wouldn't be wrong. All looking dashing in suits and colour co-ordinated shirts, each with instructions to eat as much as they could possibly fit in, and everyone surprisingly well behaved. It was my brother's first time at the Botanica Brasserie (one of my all time favourite restaurants) where I decided to spoil him for his birthday. I figured that I could just buy him a computer game or something, but in 5 years time, he's more likely to remember the night he spent his sweet sixteen with his three best friends and his family at a 5 star hotel than a few flashing graphics and sound effects. That having been said, mum did shell out for a new video card and some extra RAM, so he had the best of both worlds, really!

*sigh* They grow up so quickly. Gosh, I sound old.

PP: I feel like I'm swimming the 18th lap in a 1500m freestyle race. Pushing for what seems like an eternity already and yet with a long way to go. It's just everything at the moment - saltlight, work, study, ministry, relationships, family and all the other little things that make life interesting. I'm still loving a lot of what I have the opportunity to do, but in the midst of it all, I'm itching to go overseas on a short-term mission in the next 18-24 months. I'm praying for focus, drive and allowing time to spoil myself and spend time with God and with my own thoughts, and just take one day at a time.
BV: Matthew 28:16-20 "Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
