We need to be expectant in God. We need to expect that He is going to do something with us, that He is working amongst us, that He's present in our lives bringing us closer to Him. We need to press into Him.

In church, often I fear that we're not expectant enough, that we don't look for what God is doing, that we don't seek Him as we should. God is with us, that's His promise to us, He promises to meet with us, to be our God. Sometimes I think we meet together and we have little idea that God is with us, that He is present, so incredibly present, and He is just waiting for us to look in His direction, to seek Him with our whole hearts so that he can come and change us into what He has designed us to be. So that He can set us free, cover us in His presence, fill us with His Spirit and use us to change the world around us.

In church it feels like God is wanting to do something amazing! Accomplish things that we can't even imagine. It's like God is a mighty river behind a dam. At the moment we see Him trickling through the bottom of the dam and we think God is working in our church, working amongst us and present in our lives.

And He is.

What we need to see is that all kind of situations, circumstances, sin, arguments, unforgiveness, unrepentance and being comfortable with what we have and not seeking God with all our heart has built a dam between us and the mighty river of God He desires us to swim in, the river He wants to flow from us into every area of our lives, our homes and our community.

We need to come before Him, as we are, open to what He wants to do in our lives. We need to repent and ask God to make us more like Him. We need to forgive each other, we need to forgive ourselves and we need to seek God with all that we are asking Him to do all that He has planned in our church and our lives.

We need to be desperate to see God work, to see Him move. We need to long after Him, to know more of Him in our lives.

This is not just an interesting idea, or a biblical study or a nice thought. This is something we need to do. Now.

It's easy enough to say that we're not going to miss what God is doing and wants to do this time, and still miss it. Us not missing it requires us to do something right now. To act, now. To forgive, now. To repent, now.

To seek Him, now!

A tomorrow is something that none of us have ever been promised.

101 things you can do in Mozilla.

It's not that I'm totally against Microsoft, because I'm not, but all this Open Source, Free software thing is great.

I think it's because it's got that 'enthusiast' feeling to it, which reminds me of how it felt in the good old 8/16bit days. Commodore Vic20, C64 and Amiga.. Sigh.

I really am a geek.

wimble.

Do you know what I think is very cool?

When geeks create a page on their website explaining their home network configuration. When they photograph their computers, routers, servers, cables and explain whats on what box.

I can't get enough of them. Geeks, proud of their computer configurations. It rocks.

I may be producing my very own geek page. I am a geek.

hehe

I find this very scary

funny

I'm fed up with the design of this website.

Also, I think I'm going to move servers soon to a linux/mysql/php server so I can use MoveableType or b2 or something. I'll always love Blogger, but it's time for a change..

Because Times They Are A-Changin - Bob Dylan, wise guy....hmmmm..anyway.

I can't get that Black-Eyed Peas tune out of my head, 'Shut Up'.

Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up [3x]
Shut it up, just shut up
Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up [3x]
Shut it up, just shut up

Fantastic lyrics...Cryptic though...

It's 10:51am, I've already almost eaten my lunch. However I have been getting to work earlier. Rather than sneak through the door at 9.05am like I've been doing for a good few months, I'm getting up earlier and arriving at 8.30ish. This is much better because:

1. I am not late (therefore) I don't run the risk of disciplinary action (therefore) I don't stand to loose my job (therefore) I wont be without finance (therefore) homeless and destitute.

2. I don't suffer from as much 'roadrage' as I'm not driving like a crazy fool to get to work on time.

3. I don't feel like a slacker.

We'll see how it goes.

Checkit!

Natalies sister is having a major operation today, please remember her in your prayers. Thankyou.

Public Notice:

As you may or may not have noticed I haven't posted to this blog for some time. There may well be several reason for this.

There could be a number of reasons that you are not aware of, there could also be a number of reasons that i) you are aware of ii) I am aware of ii) neither you nor I are aware of.

It is also possible that I may have been posting to this blog all along, that I didn't stop blogging and that the reason that no posts 'appear' to have been posted is a mystery. This could be some kind of technical fault. This is quite possible.

What is probably not possible is that I have learned a foreign language over the Christmas period and that I now refuse to communicate in any other way, neither via voice or over any other kind of media.

Therefore we must come to the conclusion that we can't really be certain of anything and that I either have or haven't been posting. This can neither be proved or disproved and you should not try to do either.

What can be said is that I may well be blogging in future. What is not yet certain is where I will blog, or what format it will take.

What can also be said is that we will just have to wait and see.

Thankyou for your time.

Oh my word how this sucks. There may be something better soon.

Happy New Year though!
