Balanced Routine!!

I have been on holiday for the past week. It has been a good time of quiet and not-so quiet. After spending months in a strict routine it is always a challenge to find the right balance once out of that structure - trying to keep up with meeting people, visiting friends, rehearsing for gigs and getting to (having driven over 12 hours/900K's over the last week) and being on stage, whilst keeping my commitments to prayer, meditation, study and exercise!

Anyway... tonight I will be playing at a Baptist Church in Mitcham (Melbourne)... I am looking forward to it!!

"Performance"

Seminary mid-term break just began.... that means I have 2 weeks off; days which I will mostly spend in Bendigo trying to catch up on some essays. I have a few rehearsals and 'performances' in between. (Visit www.myspace.com/robgalea for 'performance' schedule).

"Performance"... I put this in inverted commas as I really do not my consider my concerts and so on to be performances. Its all about Jesus.... really >>> each time I appear in public I close my eyes and raise my heart to God and hope that the people in front of me will follow me there! 

Off to Echuca tomorrow to participate in a Youth Mass and then to play at a school there on Monday morning! CYA!

Finally!!


It has been a while since my last post... and this is for a number of reasons - primarily because of my studies, and a recent tendency to be a little more quiet (out of the public eye). But I have been very well.

It is so easy to lose the focus of things sometimes... a struggle to see the world through God's eyes; to get caught up with the daily storms and forget that we can simply lift our arms to our loving God and be raised above the storm. This is what I have been trying to do lately - to lift my arms and allow God to carry me to see the world, others and myself through His eyes!
