well, hey guys, welcome to my blog. this is a first for me. never had one before and always a tad cautious with such things.... anyways.
So the purpose of this i guess is for me to find the easiest way to let everyone who are friends of mine know what i'm up to and what God is teaching me. so.... this is the result. I hope you find it personal, impacting, challenging, funny and even times bring a tear to the eye... hopefully in awe of our Great God.
so yup yup. ok one other thing. the way i type is the way i'd talk. according to Mrs Strong its.... oh gosh now i'm trying to remember it. um.... something like spoken english.... now i feel a bit embarassed. no not shamed out.... cause Jesus took my shame! never mind.
So. I moved up to Rotorua, New Zealand about 4 weeks ago. Working 2 jobs. one as a waiter at breakers restaurant as a waiter mainly and at Mana Adventures on Lake Rotorua putting customers out on paddle boats and kayaks. i'm also looking at getting my skippers license while i'm at it. I thing though is that you have to wear lots of sunblock. hahahaha and stay in the shade or water as much as possible so you don't get heat stroke on new years eve and feel like a zombie for the next few days. =)
On a more serious note, I've found a great church called living wells. its a big pentecostal church here and they are so welcoming and friendly and i was lucky to know a few people already and help out with a christmas production they did. so they like me and i like them.
Every day is a confirmation that I am on the write track, in the perfect centre of God's will. each morning when i get up I ask God to order my steps for the day and He has. I had 2 jobs after 2 weeks of being there, and now i have consistent money coming in. I am house sitting which has worked out such a blessing. the local christian camp lakes ranch has really supported and helped me when i first got here and still keep an eye on me. i have met an amazing family who have just taken me in and made me feel so welcome. been invited to peoples places, amazing youth who are real and love God and just really accepting. bosses who are nice as and don't lose it at ya. the list goes on. But "I know that My God shall provide all my needs according to His Riches and Glory" because I am "seeking forst the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and so all these thing will be added to me". so thats as short an update as i can do to start with. I will post regularly.
For those interested, God has given me a few parts to some songs and i prayed for a sick man the other day and God touched him, so its been good. keep me in your prays if you can.
Blessings to you all.

The Journey....

- Well g-day, My name is Nathan Pratt. You probably already knew that cause your on my blog. sweet. so.... I am on a journey..... it began when i was born, and it's all go still. In Sept 07, my world changed..... it was a turning point. spiritually, which totally kills the flesh and brings the natural into proper order.... Well since then God has blown me away time and again. God bought Bethel Church in Redding California across my path, and that has impacted me greatly. I am passionate about woship, kids and youth. I have a desire to be a youth pastor and see youth experience God in a real way. So this is my journey of my walk with God and my Pursuit of His Presence.... and I invite you to join me on it. Blessings
