Before I left for Spain (had a great time there, thanks for asking), I received an excited text message (if text can convey emotion) from my good friend Matthew Thomas Davis, whom many refer to as Matt. He was inquiring (or enquiring, there's certainly one person out there who will tell me which) as to what I will be doing this year. When I said it was for God to know and us to find out, he made a comment about pushing doors to see if they open, from which I got the description of this blog.
So last Friday, Matt came round to el casa de Reddings and we had a nice chat about doors of the metaphorical variety. As yet, none of the ideas we bounced around are in complete fruition, so I won't digress to much. I will tell you, though, that I am very excited.
I promise I will keep you posted - that is what this blog is for, after all. God bless!

The Saga Begins...
Once upon a time, I made a blog ready for updating all my friends on the goings-on in my life at university. All was going well until the 20th August 2009 a.k.a. Results Day (which is actually today, but you might be reading this in the future). On that day, I discovered that I had acquired a C-grade in Physics, not the B-grade I had been hoping for.
I phoned the admissions tutor at Surrey University, and he said I was unable to enrol this year; not due to my doing badly, but due to a lot of other applicants doing better than expected. Long story short, he offered me an unconditional place to enrol on for the year commencing September 2010.
Now, if you know anything about the Tonmeister course, it is that you don't get unconditional offers for it after underachieving a grade in Physics. Yet here I am, a place ready and waiting for me and an involuntary gap year in between.
There is no doubt in my mind that God has provided this year out for me to do his work. I'm not entirely sure what His plan is (well duh, He's God) but I'll tell you this, I am WELL excited to find out.
The purpose of this blog is for me to tell you, the masses, what I'm up to - or rather what God is up to in my life - in my life in the coming year. I will try to keep it fresh with audio and video etc - you know, all the techie stuff I'm into. I may even grace you all with a podcast, but don't bank on it.
It's been a stressful day, but the outcome has been better than I was expecting it to be in the first place in many ways (not all, sadly). Thank you all for your prayers and encouragements, they have really blessed me. God bless you all, and stay in touch.
