I spelt bible without a capital B!!!

So I'm back from my little road trip, was fun.  I got an education in reading a Mexican restaurant menu - not commonplace where I'm from.  I'm very bean and cheesed out now!

Since my last blog I got involved in a whole job application process for an organisation I highly respect.  Everyone I know has encouraged me to go for it so today I sat down to write my 'statement of faith'.  I'm not sure if I've done anything that difficult for a while.  It probably sounds strange, but for a formal application and a proffessional organisation I wasn't sure how I was going to word what I believed and why, without telling my whole life story and the intricate details that lead people to faith.  I used the Apostles Creed and our church website to help me along the way...intermingled some of the key momments of my more spiritual decisions.  I felt guilty about my attempts at spiritual discipline over the last 6 weeks.  Yes I read my Bible today...all about Aaron's sons bringing an unauthorized offering to the Lord and getting burned up by the glory of God.  Although quite an application process it's been a breath of fresh air to have something in the pipeline.  For some reason God has got me all stirred up about Justice - again.  Not that I'm not always concerned about justice, it's just that I have come from a community who are justiced focused and landed with friends who are also justice focused and it's an expression of my faith. Faith in action.  In a new way today I've started to understand some of the 'training' he has me in, friendships, conversations, worldviews, ways of living day to day that recognise treating all men with justice and mercy.  Whether or not I get the job...I am learning more about what it means to SEEK JUSTICE.  It's not going to happen without me doing something.  It's not going to happen unless I activate every area of my life towards SEEKING justice.

I did spell Bible without a capital B in the document, an error I am extremely frustrated by, but it cannot be changed now and hopefully it was the only mistake made.  All in all I am glad for the ooportunity to write a statement of faith, it was an ooportunity to really think about what I believe and why.  Re-aligning myself with that truth.  I was out walking today here are some pictures:
