We took I think 14 guys from the A.R.C from Downtown Victoria, This is a rough place, A.R.C stands for Addictions Recovery Centre so the people there are looking for either a better life or a bed for the night and the group we took really came in contact with the Holy Spirit, this was the message for the weekend, understanding the Holy Spirit, what it is? Why you need to let it into your heart, a really well delivered message that caused people to open thier hearts to and let the Holy Spirit in and we also had a baptism in the ocean, the cold cold ocean. I was one of those baptised and I was givien a ToDo list of things I need to work on by the Holy Spirit.

Just this morning on the bus I was thinking allot about the weekend and listening to Jar’s of Clay and I was told “You, learn the guitar” so this is another thing to add to my todo list. I also have to pray and meditate alot on what my next step it but I also had some great fellowship time with people at camp, Shannon and I have some things in our past that are in common and he shared some of his experiences and wisdom with me and I want to thank everyone there for the work they allowed the Holy Spirit to do through them this weekend.

I have some digital photographs that I will be posting later.

Please also note that if your church is looking for a Bible Camp retreat please concider Hope Bay Bible Camp on Pender Island, I believe the rate is $35 dollars a person and they have great facilities and the island has some excellent activities also.

I keep asking myself,  My God and my guides “What is my next move?”,  Its a question that has lingered for a while now. 

Whats the next career choice?

Should I concider more of the same as what I am doing,  the answer I think is no,  I find helpdesk work fulfilling to a point,  getting someone’s computer connected to the internet or getting the website for the company hosted all fulfilling to a point,  you get thanks but then your on to the next frustrated, upset, confused or downright mad customer and the cycle starts again.  When I started here I was told about a previous Techie who got to the point where he shouted at customers,  I never thought I would get to that point but everyday there is someone I want to shout at and thats not helping me in my home life,  On Monday my wife Michelle who I love dearly bore the brunt of my moodswings so I ask the question again in relation to my career. “What is my next move?”

How can I relieve the stress at home?

I think taking care of my happiness would be a good start,  sounds a little selfish at first but If I do things to improve my attitudes then I am better equipt to help those around me,  lately I have days I just what to stay in bed and that helps no one.

A job that allows me to also be at home a little more and does not leave me so drained would be a start,  its time to renevergise myself,  Im going to Mens Bible Camp this weekend and I am hoping that will lift my spiritual self and give me the determination I need to make some decisions.  Ive always believed if you dont like the situation your in then take steps to change it but I am not acting on this belief enough to move forward.  Its driving me crazy.  I also feel I want to contribute more,  to society, to my home life, to my family,  to my education, to my character, every day I dont do at least one of these is a day lost and that makes me sad.

I have some irons in the fire but the fire grows cold,  I need to throw some fuel on the fire and grow,  push my boundaries.
