8th September 2008

Hey everyone!

First of all, apologies for the lack of communication, as you’ve probably gathered, it’s been a busy time.

I read in a book (I can’t remember what one, I’ve read too many recently) somewhere that “The night is darkest just before the dawn.” Whether or not that is a scientific fact, it’s certainly been the case here over the last couple of weeks for me.

Over the last two weeks (and the last week in particular), I’ve been reminded of what I’ll be leaving behind here, be it friendships or churches. As a result of that, the truth that I’m less than five weeks away from leaving Cardiff has hit me like a brick.

Until this past weekend, I was stuggling to come to terms with that, and just a bus ride home from work through the city was enough to get my emotions running high, one particular day last week.

Things have moved on now though, and I’m feeling a lot more positive about things, and that was helped by the first message in my Church’s latest series, which is entitled You Don’t Have What It Takes.

The next couple of weeks will be really busy as I prepare for the move. Your prayers would be appreciated during this time.

Thanks for reading
