So tonight i’m going camping with my wonderful wee Exodus team! Seriously, awesome bunch of guys, its incredible the deep and possibly strategic friendships God has already created in us!
We just thought it’d be fun to go camping together, even thought we’re only camping out on Roddys farm, somewhere near Carnalbana! Should be fun. Weather has been absolutley beautiful here the last few days, so lets hope it continues.
I find that I feel closer to God, like, I find it easier to pray etc, when i’m out enjoying His creation. Just seems to flow naturally in those situations. Love to walk and talk with my Dad. Tis awesome. Until we blog again…

Well yesterday I took the day off school and went to Balmoral Show – great fun! Watched a (very small) bit of the cattle judging with dad, good for a bit of bonding you know, and just generally pottered about. The afternoon was very nice indeed, took a trip into Belfast for a bit of shopping and stuff.
I found this great wee cafe-type place, called Flour, which makes crepes with all sorts of toppings. For example, I had a savoury crepe with bacon and maple syrup- sounds weird I know, but it was sooo good!! They had lots of other random toppings on the menu, like ‘sweet and sour chicken with cheese’, ‘belgian chocolate with mini marshmallows’, and ‘ham cheese and pinapple.’ Loving it!
Hmm so yes, now I wish I was back in Flour…

So yea, exams are coming up on me fast, and the careers teachers are hounding me for draft UCAS forms and making choices about university and the rest of my life! So heres my thoughts on it…
“What happens if you’re not sure where you’re going, only who you’re going with and how?
What happens if you’re in it for the ride rather that the results?
What happens if friendship is more important than function?”
It’s all about the ride guys.

Just as the world changed forever with the invention of the prinitng press and the industrial revolution, so this generation stands at a time of profound social change…
A generation that finds itself in the crux of such a change has a significant responsibility for shaping the new ways of thinking that will define its own age but also that of the coming era.
Will Jesus Christ be famous and favoured in the coming age, or will he be a peripheral choice on the menu of social preference? You can call the culture ‘progressive, ’emerging’ or ‘postmodern’, but the challenge is the same: to reinvent the church without changing the message, to reach this generation for the sake of the age to come.

God’s been teaching me some cool stuff lately, mostly through the PDYM book. I’ve had this phrase stuck in my head all day…
“I want them to live their lives with eyes that are searching and hearts that are beating with compassion for their lost friends.”
I read that and I just thought, is that me? And I know that it isn’t really, because if I really, truly grasped the reality of heaven and hell, I would be out there with my mates as much as I could be, telling them about Jesus.
Thought I’d leave you with a question, answers would be nice!…
Whats God been saying to you lately?
