I was helping Shte1 do the dishes last night and my mobile went off with a reminder – I seriously had no idea what it was for. Shte1 read it out, “Haha! Me, 5 years old!” to which my new in-laws asked, “Birthday? Who’s birthday? Not yours…not yet…”
So much has happened in 5 years. I was recently asked by a non-Christian friend what it was like being a Christian, whether or not becoming a Christian was a good decision? I replied, “Becoming a Christian was tough, but it was the best thing I have ever done.”
So I thought I’d put together some of the high-lights and low-lights of the past 5 years:
- Parental reaction to the news of myself, and Brysie, becoming Christian.
- Reading great books.
- Growing daily in my love for God.
- BGR studies – “I Kissed Dating Goodbye!”
- Finding and using great resources from Matthias Media
- Burning out
- Being renewed
- YF
- CCCB
- KYLC
- QYC
- BLT
- Bible study – Genesis, Romans, Judges, Full Of Promise, Postcards from Palestine, The Blueprint
- YF Camps!
- Seeing people come to Jesus, and grow
- Apologetics Seminar
- Meeting my beautiful wife at YF
- Getting married with a gospel centred ceremony
- Prayer
- Great music – Emu Music, Steven Curtis Chapman
Each moment – high and low – brings a smile to my face. There will be much more to come as well. And I can not wait!
