So... Here we are, the two of us for now...

This is the start of something betwixt my nagging conscience and the procrastanistic Benjamite that I am. OK, so let's just say I have long been trying (since yesteryear) to get into the habit of starting what I can only envisage as a new world, a new and pristine bin to unload some stale thoughts, a hiding place yet veritably inconspicuous (as it is open to everyone), or I could cut to the chase and declare this as a log of my life.
My aim, however, is just to lay down a new beginning, a step into a realm of thought (be-it deep or shallow). I guess what I am trying to eloquently say is that I have a mission, the details of which I do not, myself, fully comprehend but it is my belief that this blog will help unravel what my true mission is.

Who am I?
Well, I am a Sinner and I am a Saint, that is my lifelong story and yet amidst it all I am child of God. Ben Thompson, a 20 year old male living a blesséd life in the United Kingdom.

The words I write here are what attempt to be an honest reflection of who I am, and will try and depict some of the highs, lows and in-betweens on this great walk. This will not be an easy adventure, so before you decide to join me on this hike to the unknown. You may want to get that image of an easy stroll along the beach out of your head.

I can however assure you that this journey will end in victory for it is the Lord who is my Shepherd (don't worry I'm not leading the way..) and I am attached to the light and easy yoke of Jesus my Saviour!

So come with me, expect nothing but brutal and rocky roads but enjoy this walk (would much rather have run this race but I think a walk gives more time to stop, ponder.. feed your soul, then move on, right?)

Lace up those walking boots and don't bring too much unnecessary 'stuff' because it is a long haul and the path is going to be long and windy, plus I know that the gate at the end is very narrow (Matt 7:14) and we won't be needing much in the way of food! All I ask for is an open mind and maybe a little love (patience, forgiveness, understanding etc). Sweet!

Ok I'm done with waiting... Let's Go!!!!

P.S
That Horizon looks a long way off don't you think....?

Oh but then I walk by faith and not by sight (2 Cor 5:7) ... The Enemy has started already ha!
