Who am I?.....Where am I going?.....

For the last couple of days many people have been asking me who are you? Where are you going after this stage in your life? I have so far been managing to muddle my way through these questions - but how long am I actually going to mange to carry on muddling through?

Who scripture says I am is simple, it is who I allow myself to be that isn't!!! When I was 5 I had a real plan of what I was going to be when I was older, what I was going to learn, who I was going to be friends with and what I would never do........these have all changed and not been followed. Now I have no clue what tomorrow will bring for me, let alone the next 15 years. To me at a young age this would have been devastating! Everything had to be planned out thoroughly and stuck to, right down to the tiniest detail. Now at the age of 20 I am on such an adventure, not knowing what is around every corner can be really exciting but also very daunting. What it all concludes to in the end, is that my life can not be planned and ordered by me, as it is in Gods hands. And second guessing God, I have found, is never successful........................!

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!!!
