From Mess to Press!

A few months ago I got interviewed by an Australian Catholic magazine. They wanted to know about my conversion and why I chose to become a Catholic priest.

The article got published and before I knew it I got 'flooded' by emails and calls from local and even international journalists wanting to know more. In fact there are four magazines reporting the same story from a different angle this month alone (Contact Magazine, Kairos Magazine, Catholic Viewpoint and Osservatore Romano).

I am just amazed that God would choose to give people hope from my messed up past.

"If You can take and use it Lord... here it is... all of it!"

I will try to scan and post an article or two soon! Ohh... and HAPPY EASTER!!

Ever lose sleep worrying about something, only to wake the next morning wondering why you made such a big 'fuss' over the issue? I do!! I recently got a MASSIVE telephone bill which I knew I could not have incurred. To cut a long story short, I lost some sleep and allowed anxiety to get the better of me.

But today (2 weeks later) I thank God for that incident because it helped me come to the realisation that my peace of mind is much more valuable than the few hundred dollars I may have to pay. Romans 8:28 says that God will use EVERY situation for the good of those who listen to, love and trust in Him. Allowing ourselves undue anxiety makes us unable to listen, to trust and to love!

Next time, instead of letting my tension rise I am going to chilax and face it with the understanding that all I have (including my money) is in God's hands, and if I have to pay the massive bill I do it trusting that life will go on and, if I am ready to listen to God speak through the situation, He will use it for my good!
