Hi everyone,
Well after a few months away, I'm excited to announce that I've today launched a whole new project which will hopefully help many more people on their faith journey called - I am Catholic.
So another blog you ask? Well not quite - this time I'm going to try to reach as many people as possible and so I've created a Facebook page.
A Facebook page? Yes and I won't just be sharing my stuff on there. On a regular basis I'll be posting up videos and articles from people who are Catholic who I think are amazing and who have inspired me on my journey as well as pieces that I feel really give a good response to some of the key issues affecting Catholics in the world today.
So that means no more writing? Nope, I'll still be around - along with a bunch of other people - writing pieces to help you in your life journey except this time I'm going to be trying the latest in technology to do this - instant articles on Facebook. Stay tuned to the I am Catholic Facebook page for these pieces and I hope to continue to keep inspiring you on your faith journey.
Why am I creating this? Well to be honest with you, when I started writing the journey of a faith warrior in Christ blog, I wanted to inspire as many people as I could with it.
While I'm pleased to say I've inspired a number of people - what I started to realise at the end of last year was that it wasn't motivational quotes or helpful blog articles people needed but rather a support on the challenge that is living out a life in faith each day.
While I know there's a lot of support pages out there for those who are Christian, one of the things I realised at the start of this year is that there aren't many for those who are Catholic - well there are if you look hard enough but none that are easy to find.
It's why I created I am a Catholic- a simple name which is easy to find and a Facebook page which I hope to fill with lots of different videos, quotes, images and events that will help people who are Catholic on their faith journey and give them the courage and strength to go out and live the faith the best they can.
So where do I access I am a Catholic? You can visit right now at www.facebook.com/iamacatholicau
I look forward to seeing you all there and know my thoughts and prayers are always with you.
Till next time...

Yes I'm back... well sort of....
Hey everyone,
Yep, it's been four months but I'm back on here and it's good to be writing to you all again.
I could start this blog off by saying that I've been offline due to the busy time at work I've had, or because I moved again last month or that I've been busy with stuff away from my desk - and all of these would be true.
But the real truth is that I sort of got burnt out with writing at the end of last year and decided to take a hiatus from it (outside of work) for a while.
Sometimes, no matter how passionate you are about something, if you lose the love for it, it can be really hard to keep going.
Now I know that you should fight through for the things that you love but I think it's important when people say this to also include the fact that to do that, sometimes you need to step away from the heat of the kitchen and take a more birds eye view of things.
And so, that's what I did. I spent some time reading great works and listening to some amazing speakers, I spent time listening to God and to what he wants me to do and I caught up with some amazing people who have now inspired me to the next stage of my writing/blogging journey.
And so it is with this note that I write to advise that this will be the last post on this blog for now.
I've really enjoyed doing this blog and giving people with words of encouragement and wisdom - and don't worry I don't expect to stop that anytime soon - it's a gift I truly feel that God gave me and it would be wrong not to use it.
In saying that though, I feel that the next stage I'm about to take up on this blogging journey is one that needs to be spoken about, one that will hopefully help a lot more people in their lives, ones I'd love others to get involved in too and one that I believe is where I'm being called to at this time of my life.
So what is it you may ask... well you'll just have to wait to find that out. I'm hoping to get started on it really soon - by May at the latest.
Until then however, I will be praying for everyone of you and thank you for your support with this blog - I won't shut this up entirely, because who knows, one day I might be called to continue on this journey but it's adios from me for now.
