Working again

I started back at work again this week - yesterday and today. I'm working two days a week for this week and next week and then I'm back on full time. It feels like it's all happened too fast, for a moment there I was free to enjoy life and I had no stresses and now all of a sudden my every waking hour is booked up with work and other extra-curricular activities. I've been put back on production so I'll be getting up early on Sunday mornings as well. Any freedom I might have gained by going away for a few months has been snatched away from me.
I went to Sydney today to discuss the sale of our product with a potential client. The meeting went well and the clients are great people, so that was a bonus. Still, I had no interest in being there. I hope I put on a good face and asked the right questions. My boss said that everything that I said was perfect, which is an awesome bonus. Looks like I'll be looking after that product as it's manager, which is a bit of a burden but it could be fun.

Surf Camp

Campers

This year's surf camp was different to previous years in some ways, and yet in others it was the same. It's always a time of growing and learning things from God - often not what is being taught in the main meetings. Once again a small contingent of my best friends came along to camp and for the most part I felt pretty anti-social. Coming back from the ship I've found myself fairly inept at most popular games and I don't own anything newer than a PS2. I felt pretty down on myself for these petty reasons, and so harsh comments from some of the kids really got to me.
Over the course of the week, God helped me to get past my bad attitude and to see myself through his eyes. He doesn't care about skills or abilities, he cares about the heart - and when He is my strength, then I need not worry.
The last night of camp was amazing - when God told us to rejoyce him and we had the most awesome time of joyful praise, I felt so free and joyful. Praise God!

Today I just happened to be in Westfield Hornsby and I stopped by borders on the way home. I stumbled upon their graphic novels section wich blows Tugerah borders out of the water. I must return there another day with some friends. While I was there I purchased the first book of Initial D, looks good.
