Visit more often

I really must get on top of this Blog thing ... especially if I want more people to share it I suppose. Don't want to just blog to myself after all!!!
One way is to do what I'm doing now and enter stuff when I'm at work in the nights (on-call) waiting for things to happen.
So anyway, Happy New Year everyone ... I started it with a sunrise walk around Capel Gwladys. Gwladys was a 5th century Christian lady who is buried on a hillside not far from where I live. I spent some time repenting over the last year and praying for more grace & strength for 2007 ... we'll see. One really helpful blessing however was when I was trying to dislodge a particular thorn from my flesh when I just said ... Lord, you take it, it's too big for me! Just as I said that a distant street light went out (on its own, not with any of the others which all remained lit). It kind of signalled that I'd achieved a hit of some kind; that God had taken that particular prayer on board and that the answer was in process ... Hallelujah!

Of course, two minutes into the future of that prayer may have been a bit soon to be counting my blessings but I was physically excited and filled with a sense of God's presence being not just atmospheric but effective ... if you know what I mean.

Perhaps I'll try and upload (or whatever the term is) a photo of Capel Gwladys - and some other things that have inspired me ... watch this space.
