A life of integrity
luke
To be quite frank, I had a terrible day yesterday where everything just kept on going wrong, but it was at about 3:30 while walking home from Forest Way that I realised how small these things are in the scheme of things, I realised how good God is and that he has everything in his hands and I decided to worship him for it.
I have had a really good morning so far this morning i woke up shortly after 6, and just lied in bed until about 630, came up stairs and read my quiet time, which included some of Song of Songs (which was really inspiring of true love which transcends all conflict), and the beatitudes in matthew (really encouraged about the Lords prayer).
And I worshiped with a discman for the first time
I just started reading “A life of integrity” by Howard Hendricks and its really challenging, but inspiring at the same time, esspecially how it talks about being a man of God and how that pans out to look. Really challenged to make myself holy and pure (through Gods strength) for my friends and family and future wife & kids.
Cheers,

I think I am in LOVE again!
luke
This week has been a bit of a journey… I have been sick and thus unable to train or sleep properly… it has been a bit of a trial, I have been feeling low about beeing sick and unable to do things.
Last weeks soul team was very good, so encouraging, God is AMAZING!! This week I have been learning so much more about how when I am weak God is strong and how I need to rely on him not on myself.
I have been really stirred up on the inside, re-learning love, how undeserved, how wonderful, and what it means for me to love others and how love is so not what hollywood makes it out to be.
I had a great walk on the beach yesterday and I have been doing some thinking, and now it is time to put those thoughts into action… however hard it is! And it will be hard because I am the biggest wimp I know and can never say what I want to.
‘…God is love…’ (1 John 4:16)
Now its just going to be a challenge to love like God does, a selfless love, wanting what is best for the other person. -
I think I am MAD!!!

At the airport
luke
Well, its been a good day, quite funny actually fake smiles and cheesy poses… don’t think I am cut out for it really! but after Love is some may think otherwise (about my poses, lol).
It was great to meet all the Open Universities staff, they are such nice people, and It was great to meet some of the other students as well.
It is so boring waiting at the airport though… but I was getting bored in the city of melbourne so I decided to just come to the airport early, pity I couldn’t just catch an earlier plane (then I would also make dinner on time!).
Sorry to all those who love melbourne to bits, but from what I saw, the city was quite boring… but I did do what everyone told me I had to do… I shopped (while I waited… it took up a good 15-25min), I dug into my cheap pockets and bought two shirts… from jeans west (at the sydney price).Well I have 3 minutes and 13 seconds remaining 8 seconds 2 seconds etc of my 20min on the net for $2… with not much left to do.
I guess I will read some more blogs, then wair another 40 min for my flight to board.Cheers,

AGM and a foot tall cup
luke
Had the mosman rowing club AGM (anual general meeting for those uninformed on the ways of the world) yesterday, it was full of a couple of grumpy old men (non-rowers) who could not understand a few simple concepts and were only concerned with the price of beer.
At the end we had awards presentations that I was not expecting. Kiran and I won the “Youth Oarsman of the Year” award together and I won the “Top Pointscorer of the Year” so Kiran took home the former and I took home the latter, the only problem is that I spent 3 hours getting to forest way, lugging it around with my jacket draped over it and all I had eaten all day until 3pm was a sausage roll at 1:15, and I almost fainted. But I am on the fix (from being sick with a cold etc) and am looking forward to getting back into it. I am in melbourne tomorrow though!Cheers,
Luke
