What a year!
G'day everyone,
2007 appears to have arrived hitched to the back of 2006, akin to a semi-trailer being driven by a crazy, impatient monkey.
On this the 7th day of the new year, I feel like taking a step back and reflecting on how 2006 turned out.
Around April, God gave me the desire to get rid of a certain sin element that's been dogging me my whole Christian life (7 years and counting). I'd prefer to keep it secret, but needless to say the last 9 months (and counting) have been the hardest of my life. God and I have a lot of hard work ahead, but so long as I take everything to the Lord in prayer, I can look forward to living God's way. And, I'm so excited about that.
2006 has seen my first relationship (and breakup... lol). I learnt a lot from it. Namely to choose a person to date with whom I have a connection! Also, be more communicative. And give her space. I guess you can't please everyone, but it took a lot out of me. Been 2 months since we broke it off, still getting my head together. But, I have a lot of great memories.
In 2006, I got a lot more involved in church. Lead church many times. As well as that, I preached for the first time. Really enjoyed that, can't wait for the next time! I've also been teaching English on Sunday arvos. Not every week, but usually once or twice a month.
If my dear friends and partners in crime remember anything memorable that happened in 2006, let me know, and I'll post it next.

sounds like you had a pretty full year
Keep with the Lord and he will help you through the nest years and the ones to come

I thought the most memorable thing that happened in 2006 was seeing me. ;-)
More seriuosly, keep taking everything to God in prayer, however hard things are, and you can keep looking forward!
