Who I Am (Written Sep 9 2009)

I was sitting at the Memorial service for a well loved church minister Barry Marshall and its quite interesting to see his characteristics in me

1. Kid at heart - As a youth leader I involve myself in the program with a full heart and passion rather then stand at the side and watch

2. Bullheaded - Anyone that knows me knows that I can be quite bullheaded, stubborn and even sharp. If I see something that isnt glorifying God I will say so with caution and yes on the odd occasion I have ruffled some feathers whilst challenging people to be real I tend to make up to them quite quickly.

3. Zest for Life - I have a huge zest for life. My humour even shows it and my motto is to live life to the fullest whilst serving out Gods purpose in life serving the youth of the community and am glad to say that I'm a mentor to many youngsters I come across

My most precious memory was Easter Sunday this year we woke up in the middle of the night and sat on a mountaintop for a sunrise service with this most magnificent sunrise in the background

we then had breakfast, had an easter egg hunt and walked to a waterfall where a baptism took place and then a whole bunch of us did a waterfall jump. It was a day I will never forget and I leave you with this chorus

Heal My Heart and Make it Clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
