todays motto has ten two-letter words
i just had an epiphany. lol coz ive never used that word before and dont even know if thats the right context it should be used, but mehhh its done now so there... my thought was this:
someone i havent spoken to in a while called me the other day, funny enough the night before i was thinkin about him, but chose not to call because it was an ungodly hour. anyway he called me and in the course of our conversation i realised he does not know anything about my current life. it was quite serious coz i had to briefly describe everything i was doin... its funny how that one conversation sent me into analyze mode, and i began thinking about God, and how he must feel when i dont touch base with him. obviously he will always know what im doing, but its still important to get his opinion and approval in all i do. so i was a bit naughty and had skipped a few days without telling him anything, and those days actually sucked. lesson learnt. my devotion times have been messed up completely, just because i havent got a defined routine going with my working life yet. kinda bugs me that i know i need to give God more time in my day, but im struggling to.
so heres my new plan to stay on track: i found some tapes (yes i said tapes, im spiritually desperate so have to take it old school to get my daily bread) of the new testament so iv decided to listen to the bible in the car (since i seem to be having so much alone time there) and do my thang with God en route to where i need to be - another thing i need to adjust to. but its made me remember that prayer is easy, it can be done at anytime of the day, and anywhere, so i dont really have any excuses for not doin it.... and i also had to miss church yesterday (wow feel like im in a confessional booth or something), was a combination of reasons, but mainly because of work. i dont really know how i feel about working on a sunday, iv never been in this position before. if my spiritual life was on an alltime high, i dont think i would feel as bad, but right now im kinda on a small plateau on the mountain, and to be honest i dont like it here. the Kingdom of God is always advancing so why should i stay in one position. granted it is on me to progress though so its time to step up my game as the level of the challenge increases. in the words of William Johnson: "if it is to be it is up to me"
anyway i was just listening to this song... part of me wants to jump up and down, the other part is like errrr na jus sit down. lol... this song really reminds me of my church in bournemouth. huge sigh. i seriously need to go back and visit. im rambling, heres the video:

Monday
Been a long time, shudn't av left you...
so iv neglected my blog in so long, and i appologise... but on a plus its been because i have a life and things have been happening.lol... so heres my fast update:
completed an intense 9-6pm week of an ITEC Sports Injuries and Massage, so am now fully qualified (ok well i have to hand in 5 case studies and do an exam at the end of november, but thats gona be easy)
i got a position under England Basketball, working with a team - in brief, im doing injury rehabilitation and sports massage. yesterday was my first game day. thoroughly enjoyed it. who knew sitting on the bench with the guys was so cool. courtside seats is how i do... thank God there were no injuries, coz i wud have had to run on and do first aid - if only they knew how much my heart was racing everytime someone fell on the ground. i was like praying in tongues in my head for them hahaha. so yer i didnt have to do much yesterday, just enjoyed watching the game really, and of course we won 73-61!! Go Warriors!! i could easily get used to this... seems like im taking small but steady steps toward my career, im not with the NBA or anything (yet) but its a start and im getting the experience i need. im so grateful I have God on my side.
on a spiritual side, iv been goin to Epainos Ministries... omdays sideline: everyone in the church is talented!! everyone seems to be able to play an instrument, sing, dance or something - its amazing!! and its a blessing to see people nurturing and using their gifts for the the His glory... so yer i like it there, havent really got confirmation of how long im goin to be there, but its home for now and im happy... in terms of my personal walk - the journey continues. just because i havent been blogging much, doesnt mean iv slipped off the bandwagon. there is a time for everything, and i feel that right now, God is saying i should concentrate on walking through the doors he has opened for me, so thats wat im doing. as soon as i get proper time to sit down and blog, will write down my key revelations that are upholding me, but for now i gotta bounce.
Keep loving Jesus,
Elle
