Hi everyone, I thought it might be a good time to catch up on the old blog, just bring your attention to some of the latest events of the year. Well as many who know me will know, that I have been out of work for the past two months nearly, which has been really difficult as i was getting used to life as an average working man, but i guess that wasn’t meant to be.
I spent the first month of my unemployment trying to keep myself busy, so i committed myself to revamping my church’s website, which to be honest i had been meaning to do for quite some time but as always things got in the way, such as work, which inevitably slowed my progress, however during that time i really worked hard and made it my biggest priority to make it as good as i could, which meant learning a lot of new skills in a very short space of time, such as coding, which to be honest has never been my strongest ability and i really never thought i would make as good a job of it as i have done, and the site has gotten a lot of praise from most of the staff at my church, which is always a bonus, somehow i expected to get more resistance than i did, or get comments like “well it doesn’t look the same” or “its too different, too radical” but i have had none of that, which was actually a big surprise, though people have called me up on spelling errors but never mind

That fact of the matter is that i really enjoyed that month because i had some thing to do, and i was learning somthing new, but i cannot take all of the credit, my mate Sean O’Sullivan gave me loads of help on the coding side of things, because before that i had no idea lol. Infact i was so taken in with all of this that i applied for a web development job, which i actually made to the interview stage, but of course i am a complete novice which probably shone through as i did not get the job, nope i guess i amĀ a hardcore Techy all the way and web development will simply have to remain a hobby.
The past month has been increasingly difficult, not being able to get a job, the website is just about finished and is infact live, so there isn’t much to do, i have to go and sign on every second monday, which is the biggest drag and waste of time in the world, and i think because of these things and everything that has happend over the last 6 or 7 months has really taken its toll on me in almost every way, my confidence took a big hit, which has affected my social behavior as well as my ability to compitantly lead my student lifegroup, which has also been cause by my lack of spending time with God on a daily basis, i have been neglecting my bible, not praying as much, so yeah it has been really hard for me.
Though this week has been a great glimmer of hope, as i have managed to secure two interviews for next week which i am equally excited and terrified about, but hopefully at least one of them will go well, so if you believe in the power of prayer, please send a couple my way next week. Thanks in advance.
Well that is my rant over for now, i will post again next week if i have been successfull in my interviews. Bye for now
