Welcome to my World!

Hello! So here we are, my first post on my first blog - starting tweeting and blogging in the same week, whatever next! 

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be writing, so thought I'd start with the traditional 'all about me' post so here goes, (don't expect it to be too long!).

Who am I? My name is David Slaney, I'm over 30 and live in Bingley in God's own country, West Yorkshire.

I'm a mortgage broker during the week, I'm also a Husband, brother, son, uncle, grandchild, cousin, godparent, friend, Bradford City supporter (for my sins), worship leader, PCC member, Christian, musician(?), local explorer, occasional steward & frustrated screenwriter (honest!).

But is this who I am? I've seen and read other peoples explanations of who they are with a similar list, but when viewing it as a list, I realised, this isn't who I am, more what I am. The descriptions above are titles put upon me in different circumstances and situations - sometimes I only one of these things, sometimes more than one.But whether I'm being a mortgage broker or a worship leader I'm the same person underneath, which doesn't help explain who I am.

So, who am I? The honest answer is that I'm not always sure all I try to be is the best person I can be (but don't always get it right), maybe as I fill this blog with my ramblings we can discover some things about who I (and may be you) are. Let's journey together.

I hope to write about many things, one of the verses from one of my favourite songs says

'I remember this much

There is nothing

You shouldn't speak of

If you got something to say

And there is no one

To be scared of

Just get them out of the way'

This is going to be my inspiration (one of them anyway) If there is something I want to speak about I will.

I look forward to sharing my thoughts and hearing yours - welcome to my world!
