J’ai manqué mon vol!

French for I’ve missed my flight – something I hope I don’t say tomorrow! As tomorrow I leave the Sunshine Coast at 2:30am for a 27 hour voyage via Brisbane, Sydney, Auckland, San Francisco and ending up at San Jose for GYC08!

It’s been a very last minute thing – made possible because God worked a miracle through some amazing people getting me a new MacBook Pro (thanks again!), and also having credit card lol – picked up my tickets on Thursday! It’s going to be an awesome trip, totally looking forward to it…it’s going to be busy too: GYC, photo shoot for next years GYC branding and brainstorming for marketing, Weimartians @ GYC (reunion with people from Weimar College), shooting a friends wedding, 400 odd mile road trip up to Grants Pass, then down to Mount Shasta for Christmas with some really cool friends (it’ll be a white Christmas – just checked the weather, -12C to -2C and snowing!), then a week when I don’t know what we’re going to do! I say we because one of my best buddies Kerrod is joining me in Sydney for the trip – we’re going to have a blast…the USA isn’t going to know what hit it.

So yeah, it’s going to be heaps fun! And I’d better get packed ASAP or I will be saying j’ai manqué mon vol!

What’s been getting me out of bed lately…

Congo Frontline Missions website – took the website live at midnight last night, then was testing till 1:30am (yes I am crazy!)…go check it out for yourself: http://www.congofrontlinemissions.org/ This would never have been done before GYC if I hadn’t had some help – thanks Cameron!

Plus there’s been a fair bit of other stuff including something really cool that will be revealed next year – se HERE and HERE for a teaser…2009 is going to be an awesome year God willing!!

How do I know if God is leading?

It’s a question that I’ve asked myself lots. And it’s a very important one! How honestly can we know if God is actually leading or if it’s either a rabbit from Satan or our own version of God’s leading?

My friend Philip Mills over at his blog has posted something that I think everyone who’s asked that question will appreciate – check it out HERE!
