Last Night.........

You know when you have that feeling of just being completed deflated?!?!? I felt like that tonight (Thurs). Although I loved every second of work it had been long and tiring, I was truly shattered. And you know when you look in your diary and just think please Lord let my eyes be deceiving me and please don't say I have a 7:30pm meeting I just really cant handle it, not tonight!

Instead of my eyes playing tricks the diary was correct and I went to the 7:30pm meeting really not in the right frame of mind for anything.

Whist in this anti-social state this amazing truly spirit filled group of 12 or so people started our meeting off with the most humbling worship. So much so I was fighting back the streams of tears that were just flowing down my face. I was unable to get my words out. I was in such awe of what an amazing Lord we have, and to think that I was previously complaining because I was tired and felt groggy and just really wanted to go home. It is like I had completely forgotten those words and needed to get back to the heart of worship, because it is all about Jesus. I just had to completely focus on Him. In those couple of beautiful worship songs we sang I felt like I had been stripped bear and left just completely vulnerable for the whole world to see. I needed that to be done to realise why I was there. The amazing worship that came out of those few minutes just took my breathe away. The Holy Spirit was so present and stirring so much inside of people, so much inside of me. Our God is so awesome!!!

Running on Empty.........

It's not fun to run out of gas. Have you every run out of gas? Not your car - you. I have. The gauge I was looking at in my life clearly read full, but I still found myself stranded on the side of life's road. The gauge I was using - the world - was flawed, but I didn't realize it until my tank was empty and I was going nowhere. If we judge whether or not our lives are "full" based on the world's standards, we are destined to run out of gas.... ...Just because we are busy doesn't mean that we are alive. Just because the world says are lives are full doesn't mean that our lives really are full. Our lives are not full simply because we are working hard, playing hard and living hard. When we try to fill our lives with the fuel of this world, we find ourselves running on empty. The gospel of John records that Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full" (John 10:10). In other words, Christ said that He wants us the h

Youth.......

Tonight the youth led their first service. The theme was 'footprints in the sand' inspired by the Leona Lewis song as well as the moving and famous poem . The youth did everything. Choose all the content; the worships songs, the prayers, the drama, everything. They made up the worship band, they did the visuals, the sound, the welcome, they recorded it, and they wrote the preach and prayers. They were all fantastic. They spoke about God never leaving us, through the hard times or the easy, the good times or the bad. They spoke to us about how God never gives us more than what we can handle, even though it may feel like that sometimes! Every single one of them aged between 11-15 were amazing. I have increasingly been scared for the youth of today. They live in such a broken world where underage drinking , teenage murders , teenage murderers , and teenage suicide to name but a few, are increasing at an alarming rate. Tonight each young person there was making their stand. Don&#

Joseph.......

So I have just got back from seeing Joseph in London - it was fantastic!!! I have never seen it before and really loved it.  Gareth Gates played the leading role and I was  reminded why I loved him so much in Pop Idol!!!!  He played Joseph fantastically and his voice was stunning. My youngest sister was squealing and drooling over him!  Especially at the end when he came very close to her - poor man he must've been scared out of his wits!!! It was so nice to spend some time together as a family and we all had an awesome evening. Roll on the next night out!!!
