Epic Days !

So today was pretty Epic for me. I usually dont do much being unemployed and sitting at home most of my days, but today i was driven to achieve a goal. I had to make My tabouli today : ), and i did, I Thought my day would consist of just making tabouli and that would be enough. That was my thoughts yesterday, but Today it was Different. Today i woke up and sat on the edge of my Bed in My Undies and Prayed to God for a Different day. I prayed for relationships and opportunities with people i see today i also prayed for Youth on Friday Night. I Also picked up a Devotional book that i started to read and it was a 40 Day read but i kinda missed a few days so i lost interest but today i read a chapter and it told me to think about My Purpose and that i'm not a Mistake made by my Parents, I Never thought i was, but it made me think of why i'm Here where i am today on the Edge of my Bed in My undies In Australia.  It made me think  of My Parents and how their Pasts have effected me. Its quite interesting if you think about it. Every little decision my Mum and Dad made when they were Younger and their Upbringing can Effect my Life today so much, I could be a Much Different Person a Person with Different Values, I could be in a Different country for all i know. I could be Dead !. Its a bit Deep i know but Its good to think about it. Whatever i do now and the decisions i make can Effect my Children, Even My Grand Children. We Need To Be Good Examples People. We need to Stand up for the right things and Take Action, We need to know our Purpose in Life. We Need To Be positive !. I encourage you to think about where you are and how you got to where you are? you may realise how Ungrateful we really are.

God Bless

I Feel Very African Today

Fully Tabouli

Im not really a fan of Tabouli. Its somewhat to Exotic for me, I feel like their is to much happening in one dish. 

Ok, So this Super Rad Youth Ministry i go to have placed me and my friend Candy G in charge of the Friday Night Youth Program and the Headline of the night is Fully Tabouli. Its a catchy headline but how can we relate anything to Tabouli ??. So we have decided to do some games relating to Tabouli and we came up with Tabouli Sandcastle making ( sounds epic huh) but the question is, Where are we going to get the Tabouli from? Its way to expensive to buy and its way to Complicated to make on our own. Mmmm This question has been bothering me all week and i have no idea on what to do. My Girlfriend has gone to the effort of finding a recipe for Tabouli and has inspired me to cook it. The recipe is somewhat Complicated and hard and Expensive BUT someone has to do something otherwise the night will be a Failure. Mmmm I used to be an Apprentice Chef but i have no Passion for Cooking and learnt nothing on how to cook, Amazing huh. You know what Im gonna go whole Heartedly and try to Bless My Youth Ministry through Tabouli, Sounds silly, but little things like this will eventually draw people nearer to God. A Young person may like the thought of Tabouli Sandcastle making and decide to come to youth the week after because Fully Tabouli Night was Epic.
