Checkout My Tan
August 30th, 2006 5
Okay, maybe not a tan but you can certainly see the sun-burn line on my neck thanks to a groovy new haircut. What a week I’ve had in sunny (aka drizzly) Littlehampton, home of my No.1 lady-fan who also took a few well earned days off work.
So back at work again and last week feels a million miles away. This coupled with the impending winter and uncertainty about my future finds me in a melancholy mood this morning readers. Where oh where has our summer gone? Only a few weeks ago we were set for another heat-wave, and now we’re facing the arse end of August and hurtling towards colder weather faster than a greased-up fat man on a steep hill.
Perhaps it’s also because I’m moving out of my house that I’ve been in for six months this weekend. Admittedly I haven’t been there much, but I enjoyed my time at Drayman Close.
So all this leaves me feeling like I’m hanging on my the skin of my teeth, waiting for this storm to pass and coming to the realisation that I have no-one to blame but myself. Maybe it’s post holiday blues, but I suspect that’s just a contributing factor. I’ve felt God in all of this, I have had people I didn’t expect shore me up at times, and for that I’m very thankful.
So where now? What now? I guess I’ll just have to find out…

Mate, I’m in a very similar position to you at the moment. The realisation that this summer, and perhaps indeed this year has been perhaps the worst ever (with the exception of one weekend in Littlehampton, and three months in CA), and all I have to blame is myself.
The future is indeed very much at the forefront of my mind at the moment…

Not a good moment to mention that it’s 41 degrees in here in Alpedrete today then? *grin* You’re welcome to come and enjoy the sunshine whenever you like! I’m told it’ll be like this til October (phew!!)
As for the future, I concur with KT, God knows His plans for you, don’t fret! You cannot a minute to your life by worrying… and it won’t change anything. Remember that the most important thing is your eternal future, and that’s wrapped up an sealed through the death of Jesus. If death is the ultimate, and we have the victory over death, why worry?
Remember that I’m only an email or a text away if you ever need me dude.

I’ll have you know that when greased I don’t actually fall that quickly.
