Christianity | Seek and You Will Find
http://bljacobs.co.uk/category/christianity
Seek and You Will Find. I’ve been aware recently, more so than normal, of advertising and all the shiny new products around us. It’s made me think about what we desire and what promises these products make. These last few weeks and months have been exciting and hectic, not least because I got a job offer for September, and we found a new place to live. Continue reading New House. Continue reading New Job. It was Amos 4:12,. Continue reading Creator God. It’s the thought that counts.

Yesterday my wife and I got baptised, an important milestone in our faith; publicly confirming that Jesus Christ is Lord of our lives. It was a great day, filled with encouragement and joy; we shared our story and some of our life in Birmingham, and there was good food afterwards too. Continue reading We Got Baptised.

Seek and You Will Find. Monthly Archives: November 2014. Recently grace keeps coming up, while reading the Bible; doing some of my Connect studies; and in conversation. So I’ve been thinking about it a fair bit, and had a bit of a perspective shift which I thought I’d share. God's in Every Day. Proudly powered by WordPress.

New Job | Seek and You Will Find
http://bljacobs.co.uk/new-job
Seek and You Will Find. Obligatory “it’s been too long since I last posted”… The last few months have really just flown by. Exciting things have happened, as well as sad. I’d like to share a little about my new job. There is the option of continuing with Navs – either doing C2 (second year of connect), or perhaps a different role. Other options include… any job I want to apply for! Back in January one of the students mentioned, when I talked about applying for jobs, a company called Vanti; she knew the b...

Seek and You Will Find. These last few weeks and months have been exciting and hectic, not least because I got a job offer for September, and we found a new place to live. As a first home it was ideal, easily enough space for the two of us and having people round. However, it had single glazing, we were above a shop (well a bakery, which did smell lush), had no parking, and it was on a very busy road. So the next viewing, or the one after I don’t remember exactly, was after work hours so both Rache...

Seek and You Will Find. Monthly Archives: January 2015. When reading the book of Amos in the Old Testament I was struck by a verse in a different way to before. It made me a little scared if I’m honest! It was Amos 4:12,. 8220;Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel, and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.”.

Seek and You Will Find. Monthly Archives: October 2014. Three weeks ago was Freshers’ Week at the University – when thousands of new students descend on Birmingham, emptying Aldi of all their food, and filling up the campus back to its lively self after a quiet summer. For us this was a chance to meet some Freshers, and to run our society stall at the fair to make people aware of us and what we’re about. Continue reading Freshers’ Week. God's in Every Day.

It was the 15th of June 2012, a normal Friday. I had to start the day working, so Rachel was going to drive over to mine for 11 ish. I got back from work to find my dad has driven his car to work – the only car I was insured to drive! Continue reading Getting Engaged.

Decisions | Seek and You Will Find
http://bljacobs.co.uk/decisions
Seek and You Will Find. In July I graduated from the University of Birmingham with an MSci in Physics. So I need to figure out what to do next. Earlier in the year I began looking at some jobs, mostly graduate schemes. I’ve always liked Microsoft, but unfortunately their graduate scheme entry had already passed. One job stood out a little bit, a graduate scheme at IBM. This came with a very generous starting salary – and any salary looks good to a graduating student! Bible study, and reading. It̵...

Seek and You Will Find. It was the 15th of June 2012, a normal Friday. I had to start the day working, so Rachel was going to drive over to mine for 11 ish. I got back from work to find my dad has driven his car to work – the only car I was insured to drive! So I arranged with my mum to meet my dad half way to swap cars. As we leave Rachel drives past, so she’s at my house on her own for a bit. Anyway I get the car so that we can go out for the day and I can drive. Thoughts running through my head:.
