A year ago this week, I ‘came out’ for the first time to my immediate family at the age of 26 I have so many, but let me try to share some of my thoughts & reflections one year on… 🧵 /1

Looks like he’s off to confront Dumbledore in the Astronomy Tower

@petewright1988 Great to see Pete!

Thanking God this morning for the enthusiasm for this and His help in getting us to this stage. Over 370 youth & kids min folks coming in January - what an absolute joy 🤩

Spare a thought for those young Christian’s in school who can’t talk about Jesus, and in church don’t feel safe enough to talk about their sexuality Growing in faith is hard. Grappling with your sexuality is immensely tough. The need then to lean & depend on Jesus is greater

A generation who ‘GO FOR IT’ Who rise up & never cease. Who relentlessly pursue, gracefully lead, honestly repent, humbly fall down & confidently get back up The Spirit is stirring and this generation are ready to go - praise Him that He goes before! 🧵/5

You are a generation of believers burning with passion to see His Kingdom come! I truly believe God is preparing the way for more Moses’. For Samuel’s, Esther’s, Peter’s and David’s. For Paul’s and Daniel’s, Noah’s and Isaiah’s You & your peers are this generation! 🧵/4

Another really powerful day with the @SUNIinfo family equipping & empowering pupils from all over Northern Ireland to speak Jesus in their schools and SU groups If you’re a student in a school, college or uni, I’ve got 3 words for you… 🧵/1

@SOCobhamPod @MattDaviesAdams As much as I’ve enjoyed watching Badiashile, I cannot wait to see Colwill & Fofana together at the back. If their chemistry is right, they could be frighteningly good!

On tomorrow's pod we're going to be doing a full squad audit... (it could take a while!) ◽️ Who's the one player you really want to see given a chance next season? ◽️ Who should the club cut their losses with and move on from for good? Let @MattDaviesAdams know 💬 #CFC

@JeremyClarkson @isaswomufc I raise you Belfast International Aiport, which contrary to its name, is nowhere near Belfast It’s also a dump

@isaswomufc Ah now. For distance from the city the airport serves, I’d go Oslo or Denver.

Let’s have a group chat. What’s the stupidest airport in the world? I’ll go first. Madrid.

20 years ago today, she got off the plane.

@petewright1988 So, so good Pete. Teaching the Bible to teens is the best job in the world!

Last night I got to do what I love doing just about more than anything in the whole world - teach the Bible to teenagers. We were thinking about the 10 Plagues in Exodus 7-11…honing in particularly on 9:13-16. Some reflections A short 🧵

FRIENDS has always been a haven for me; a constant when nothing else was. it was safe & fun & untarnished his book last year broke my heart. his encounter with God when he was battling the most was heartwarming Chandler Bing in heaven Oh, My God 💔

right from ep 1 where he runs out of the apartment pretending to be Pinocchio, Chandler stood out Exaggerated, witty, affable. Silly & ineffably joyous it felt like I did know Chandler… /2

this one hurts i feel a bit empty to be honest i always cringe a bit when I feel sad that a celebrity has died. i didn’t know them, and my grief is incomparable to others but this feels different… /1

I have never watched the #LateLate show, but tonight I tuned in and really enjoyed it. There was a beautiful balance between the conversation & craic that felt distinctly ‘Irish’, yet unforcedly inclusive @PatricKielty could be a real catalyst for something special here

@CFCPys I agree mostly here, but I’m seriously concerned about Mudryk. He’s looked clueless for the most-part when wearing the shirt

Everyone will over-react and be reactionary but not me, I’ve seen very good signs so far in the first two matches and If we get another couple of attackers I’m happy, results will surely come in the next weeks.

@mattnightingale @arloparks @jason_mraz @jonimitchell Calico by Ryan Beatty is a masterpiece
