the many miles
anyway over the last few months i have been attending a Catholic Church which if i might add, i just completely love going to, as to before i started going there i HATED! the catholic church and said i wouldn't be caught Dead in there as my corpse would come back alive long enough to return to its grave. but God asked me one day to go there as i was planning on bailing out of my baptist church on sunday morning, i was feeling crook an lacking in sleep, thought i was going to dry up and die. anyway just as i was about to bail i felt God say "i want you to go to the Catholic Church and not home this morning"
so i did, thinking "yeah God you know i am not going to enjoy this at all". upon walking in to the side door of the catholic church ( God had asked me to attend already once that day so i inquired that day but the time it started was when the baptist church was already part way into worship) so i thought "naaaah God wouldn't ask me to do that".... mind you he asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son... so back to my life's story. upon walking through the side door while they were singing a hymn like a iron frying pan to the face, the presence of God hit me, i mean WOW! it was their and you could hear and tell the little kids quior where putting all they had in to their worship, the church was packed full, it was the childrens first communion, the feeling of walking in their was like, sitting in a cool spring rock pool in the shade with the company of Jesus, so i found a seat up the front side, and sat in the last row (also nick named the naughty corner) so i sat my baptist bum down in that seat, an opened my little note pad, an took notes, God dealt with my anti catholisium right then and there, nothing like a massive serving of conviction to brighten ones morning. the homoly was brilliant, father Vik was talking about what communion, what it ment an represented. when the mass finished, feeling like God just done full brain and heart surgery on me, i went up to father vik, introduced my self, stated that my original mind set i had right up till 1 hr prior, and how God just dealt with all of that during that survice, father Vik at first (when i was saying how did hate the catholic church) looked as thou he knew he was about to get a gut full of an anti catholic views, then he smiled as i said that "i can no longer live that life style, for it was against God to act like that, and every time i teased and slandered the catholic it was not the denomination nor people i was just slandering BUT Primarialy God i was rebelling against", delighted to have attended and eagar to learn about the Catholic Christian (yes people Catholics can be Christians too, dont have a heart attack) father Vik and I stood out side the catholic church talking and explaining what certain things ment and why they done them, and they are reasonable an respectful, after we departed and i went home, pondering the conversation and everything i learnt, i asked God if i may attend mass and attend the Baptist Church, the answer was "yes" and for the past few months i have been attending Both Churchs and learning much from mass, i have found my self feeling a Love on new level for God, enjoying mass, i still sit in the seat i sat in the first time i went, thou no one sits with me up their, i know Jesus is sititng with me, and when it comes to greet each other with peace father Vik always looks at me smiles and we nod at each other, father Vik is always pleased to see everyone an has told me he would not ever take me away from annother church but there is always a place for me if i want to go to the catholic church, he is always welcoming and keen to talk and hear how i am. thanks to my dear friend Erin, she has helped me understand what certain things in the Catholic Church are and mean and reason for it. to my great regret i had poked fun at hear for being a Catholic.

OH dairy me... had to be said
....... has anyone else thought that the word "Blog" sounds like some bowel disease.... thats umm something me and stephen thought of one day when i was running on nothing but sour worms and coffee and ripping cars appart, but anyway. so as you should all know that my name is Nathaniel and can be nicknamed to Nate but not nat as thats well just not cook, but thansk for trying,
also is u see what you would call spelling mistakes in this here blog there not spelling mistakes there actual a language me and a awesomeical friend of mine have comprised from MSN spelling mistakes and we have called it "Naelab", its a awesomeical tilly cook of a language so get with it people, other wise your just wires. hahaha, well my course in Chrisitian ministry is going eight and im rather enjoying it. i have recently discovered a singer called "clay walker" for you who don't know who he is educate your nimble minds and do some downloaning of his music or buy a CD (provided u can buy CDs anymore since the invention of Internet i think they my have become non exsistant.) truth be told i have no idea why im writing this, but im going to blame it on the lasange im going to be having for dinner tonight that lizzy an kath promised me HAZAAAAR!!, now it has come to my attention that of late people have been blaming one another more then ignorance these days.... i mean thats just sad, so im going to bring back ignorance and see how far i can get it before it dies out again.... shouldn't be that far anyway.
at this point in time your probable thinking "why am i reading this" well here is your answer, im just trying to see how far u will get through this pile of compunded drivel before looking away and being phsyical sick. if u have made it this far congrate you have a stomach of iron and i hope it rusts on ya. :P .
ok well on a serious note, of late me and stephen have had a project we have been working on over 3 weeks or so, it was what once was a GLi ford Laser, it has been striped of every interior possesion it once had bar front seats, auto stick, pedals and windscreen (which doesn't look like it will last much longer with a lil perswasion). we have painted it in both styles surbian and american army colors. we have built a exhuast that we created called ther "MK2 cad" and also a Bullbar\roobar that is made from RHS and welded to the body. it looks like something from MadMax, just minus the V8 and about $1,000,000 in movie expenses. i had a little fun with the carby making the accelerator really touchy, at the point of engaging Drive or Reverse the scruber shoots forwards of backwards oppose to the origanal way it use to, which was stall, and its an Auto, and it stalled.... how sad. It also has about 1 working brake and 3 "hi how u going" brakes... this is why i say we built the roobar!. now at somestage i want to put the pictures up here, oh i forgot to mention the lack of all doors the raised bonnet hole in the roof, 1 seat belt, the platform we put in the back, spotties on the roof and the Bamboo dsh board to add to the cheap an nasty thing we have going with it.
well thats about all i have to blab about and so now i bid thy fair de well

Well life runs on as normal. had a interesting conversatinos last night with nikki (aka Sticks"), after she told me about how her and higgins where going she asked me if i have found anyone that i have an interest in..... Truthfully i have no idea, i try to avoid these thoughts and feelings, but above that i try to aviod being asked that question. if i were to think about it i probable end up in a bit of trouble as its a dangerous ground for me. well tonight is the Mens group and i need to start investing in what God wants us to talk about....... needs a revelations ASAP. so on that note i bid thy fairdy well and may thy be blessth.
Random babble from me to you poor people
Well im am Nathaniel.
Don't have alot of to say at the moment, just thought i could write something on this random thing.
well i guess i could talk about the Joshua Harris Books that lizzy gardener has been spouting about on her blog on random occasions and for some reason i ended up in her blog, i would be the guy in the suit, yes i am that ugly. ok well to shed light on somethings that have happened in my life in the past couple weeks would either bore you or you are already bored and have come to my lonely corner of internet in search for entertainment of some discription which is just sad.
anyway life over the past few weeks has been interesting, i have been reading the joshua harris books on courtship which are just plain brilliant and really helpful, as i am a single male and well being 20 and gone through 1 relationship which was not God honoring nor healthy in most aspect really made me think twice about the whole thing, i have often asked God how long will i have to wait, well i'll tell you this, being 20 and male in this modern society can seem harsh and well almost as if im being punished, BUT! in all realness i have no character for a relationship and if i did have 1 it would be become as healthy as the underside of the toilet bowl and as stable as a the economy with Rud the Dud at the helm. so in plain and simple terms i my self have to keep commiting this want and requesty back to God and ask him to change what need change and help me out with this area of my life and this isn't easy when i think i may like a girl, you get these feelings, and you think you should presue them, but you unsure about submitting them to God because he might remove them cos its not ment to be, but seriously its far better to give up these feeling and let God do his will with them then you chasing a fanticey that turns out to consume and spit out a perportion of your life you could have be doing something preductive with. trust me it is easier to take the hard way out earlier then taking a harder road out later that can burn you up.
i am a chaplin in training and im trying to find Gods call on\in my life. so far i know im to do this course and that i will be single for some time, it both scares me to only know that much, but its also comforting to only have to know this much. now at this point you may be asking where is he going with this and to be completely honest im just doing one of my favourite past time which is just waffle on about random stuff in my life, and also again in a simple term im not going anywhere in particular. but also thats what a blog is really, someone who has reached the point of insanity thats so intense that try to broadcast there thoughts and there 1 sided conversation across the internet in a vain hope someone in a far off land will read it and say "Hey i know what you mean!." if you are this person and u are reading this my i politley ask u to "GET YOUR OWN PERSONALITY AND LIFE I HAD MINE 1st !!"
anyway it is getting late an i must be off to bed before my brain cracks my skull open and runs away in search for a place to rest.
