Songs, Sainsburys and Stones

 Hello, my name is Joel! and I was out walking my dog today with this very repetitive, very good song stuck in my head;

God in my laughing 
There in my weeping 

God in my hurting 

God in my healing 

Christ in me 

Christ in me 

Christ in me the hope of glory 

You are everything

Spontaneity

Well, this is my first blog post - and I guess it should begin with: Hello, my name is Joel. But that can wait till later... Right now I am going to talk about spontaneous decisions.

This summer, like many summers before, I am packing my bags to go off to Scripture Union camps, these are christian run holidays that last about a week, where there is as much karting, BBQing, discussing, rock climbing, music-ing, and general crazy-ing as possible...

But in all these years, the thought that there would come a time when I was too old didn't really compute - until a few days ago when an old leader sent me a message saying; "Hey Joel, we need some helpers for this SU holiday, you interested?"

I said yes, and in a few weeks I'll be off to a week of no sleep.

Favorite christian song right now :)

I'll stand, with arms high and heart abandoned.

In awe, of the one who gave it all,
And I'll stand, my soul Lord to you surrendered

all I am is yours!
