Mad Cow (last blog???)

Two cows in a field, one says to the other " hey mate, are you worried about mad cows disease?" And the other replies "No, I'm a horse"

Makes me laugh every time, and is one of those jokes that leaves me wondering which one is mad the first cow, the other cow or me.

Is it the first cow, that think the other is a cow when actually it's a horse?

Is the other cow that thinks its a horse?

Or maybe it me that still doesn't know weather they are horses or cow and which is mad.

Do we know our true identity? Do others know our identity? Do we know others identity? To many questions I know but isn't it important to know and let others know our identity? What we believe, why we do or don't do different things that they do.

As a Christian we should be trying to let people know we are Christians and try our best to show our Christianity. I started this blog to share my Christian faith with others both Christians and non Christians.

If you think it's going to make you hated or that people will start avoiding you because you believe in god then be assured it doesn't.

This year I've been through one big pile of poo and to be honest, Ive still a way to go. But one thing I have learnt that I didn't really get a grasp of before is that people respect my faith.

Of course I was low and vulnerable and people will always see that as trying to find a way out. But it was at that low point I cried out to the God who I have believed in all my life just maybe not needed him. And guess what?!? He was right there by my side all along.

I prayed to god when I first made this blog public and thinking I may get 1 or 2 people interested in reading it. If I got one reader I'd have been chuffed that I had the courage to share my faith with them.

Again, guess what? I started to get people liking the blog (most commenting on my lack of spell checker) and returning to read it again.

I though... Hey wouldn't be great to get a thousand views in a year. Then I started to get the odd email from friends here and away. Both Christians and non Christians where reading it. Friends from school, rugby team mates and others from other clubs, people I didn't know would also message me and tell me they read it too.

My thousand in a year... Ha... Something tells me God had other plans. See God doesn't do 1000. I was praying and trying to do what I thought I should and asked god for courage and again he stood there beside me.

See when God wants to use something in a way you don't get he just blows your ideas out the way, and if I have learnt anything from this blogging malarkey it's that with God, you can do more than you think possible.

1000 view in 12 months... With god that shouldn't have been too hard. That was my thinking that if I tried my best and kept God in it at all times 1000 views would have be amazing. But then God spoke and showed me how he works.

10,000 views later I have maybe started to understand that With God we can accomplish so much more... Nothing is impossible knowing God is by your side.

Nothing is impossible for god. And I know he can make a difference.
