So I know i’m not the only person to be sharing with the world my thoughts about New year! It seems that it is all I read at the moment on Twitter, Facebook, and the likes… (P.S has anyone tried this new one, Path? Looks like it could be ok, but at the moment I am my only friend on mine so its rubbish!!… Let me know if you get it, www.path.com)
Anyway, as I was saying… But I don’t think this is a bad thing. Even though the only thing that really happened on the 1st of January is our clocks went forward a day (Which coincidently will also happen at 12am tonight, and tomorrow!) Well, that and someone in Britain, probably me and every other tax payer decided not to spend extra money on anything useful, but instead blowing thousands, probably millions on throwing exploding lights off the London eye for 15 minutes. (Though this was quite spectacular).
But there is something special about this time of year, something that makes you want to start a fresh, to try something new. I don’t know about you, but I always find it a little easier to get up in the morning (Though not much!) I tidied my room, in fact I completely changed my room around and now am looking out the window at my desk and not at a wall which is nice, though I should open the blinds. Me and Katie have got back into swimming after an embarrassing december, I think we went about 3 times the whole month!
I’m not one for making big new years resolutions like ‘I will give up chocolate’ because in honesty, I like chocolate. But I do like looking at the year ahead and thinking ‘I wonder what will happen’. For me already I have an exciting month ahead… Next Wednesday 12th January, I am being interviewed on Cross Rhythms radio, this is my first ever radio interview! I am a little nervous to be honest, but very excited too. You can listen online at http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/, I think its at about 8pm but i’ll confirm soon.
This weekend I’m off to a New Wine Leaders retreat conference, at Center Parcs which I’m very much looking forward to. It will be nice to just relax, and focus on God for a weekend… And enjoy Center Parcs! And in February my EP will be available on iTunes, which I am looking forward to.
Some of my friends are also trying new things this year, I thought I would share a couple with you (And there is one more on the way when he makes his new blog ‘Public’!)
Eleanor, who is my girlfriend Katie’s sister, is off to Australia tomorrow, which in itself is pretty immense! But the best part is she’s going for 7 months, doing a YWAM course. She has just started a new blog which she will be updating so check that out…http://elsinaus.blogspot.com/
And Matt, who is also my boss, has just started a new blog which I’m sure will be a good read… http://therectorsblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/happy-new-year.html?spref=fb
So yeh, I will be in touch soon. In the meantime don’t forget to sign up to my mailing list!
