Too much coffee and my head hurts!

I'm so bushed! I can't believe how tired I am. Today has just been one of those days. And I've had so much coffee I'm surprised that I'm not bouncing off the walls! I'm almost there, but not quite.
It started with a visit, and I had a fantastic opportunity to explain the gospel to people. I spent like an hour a bit talking about Jesus with these people in their home. They were really listening, and I think they got it. It was a real learning experience for me, as these people were from a different culture to me, and so I had to really think about how to keep it simple. So praise God. I felt that I was fumbling through a bit. But I pray that they take it in. I'm organising some books for them to read as follow up (and I had a cup of coffee with them).
Then I got home, made some calls and went on another visit. This was to welcome some new people to our church. A great thing to be doing, and God willing some these people will feel more connected into NLEC.
But the absolute killer was meeting with the guy who heads up the Youth Ministry at CCEC - Dave Miers . I'm so thankful to God for godly people like Dave, who are extremely gifted by God, and passionate about ministry. My head hurt after chatting with him, (I think it was accumulative today, the constant chatting). The reason for getting together was NLEC (my Church) is at the stage of thinking through starting a ministry for youth (God willing). Dave is experienced in this area, and his enthusiasm is infectious! It was a good time catching up and chatting about youth ministry. I'm really pumped...May God grow his kingdom through this endeavour! We chatted non stop for 2 1/2 hours. And I had more coffee (Thanks Dave!). In fact I've found it really hard not to switch off tonight, that's how wired I am.
Then Robyn and I went out for dinner. It was good to Robyn to get out of the house, and see some different scenery (even if it was westfield at Tuggarah). The meal was good too - (Coffee club is awesome, great food and I have to say excellent coffee...yeah, I had another one there too!)

Coffee is sooooo good! But I bet I pay for it tonight.
