Thanks for sharing this Mikey. It's a great thing to sit down and go back over ones diary to see just what's happened. Scary sometimes. This looks scary.

There's a lot of work there Mikey. Thanks. Makes me think of 1 Cor 15:10 :-)

Hi Mikey.
Great to see you working hard for the Lord Jesus. In fact, it was in the context of a quick flight to Sydney to serve the MTS movement that I met you! However, I was getting out of breath just reading the list. Are you as disciplined at resting as you are at serving the Lord in other ways? I assume the answer is yes or you wouldn't still be standing.

But it did get me thinking about someone telling me recently that whenever they were going for an interview for a ministry position they asked their potential employer what is their regular day off. My MTS trainer also makes a point of often mentioning in his sermons how he's spent his day off to communicate to the congregation that he is not a workaholic. Again, don't hear this as a rebuke as I'm far too distant from you and your situation - it's just the thought that popped into my head.

Great to hear of the many ways God is growing his church in Tassie and the exciting changes coming for UFC.

God bless.

Thanks guys!

@Izaac - good pickup. Yeah I do take a day off a week. I like watching boxed sets, reading, writing and cooking. I sometimes do find it hard to wind down though!

I also take a day and a night away on my own 3-4 times a year to prayer, veg, reflect.
