Faithfulness..........

After a brilliant youth social at King Georges Park tonight, where they all played rounders and football, I decided to keep out in the fresh air and went walking after the Youth had left. There was just something so liberating being free to walk around the park.

After a really positive and uplifting day it was just so wonderful to be able to reflect on all the busyness of the last couple of weeks. It was time to think of questions posed, answered and thought of. It was time just to marvel at the awesomeness of creation.

Deciding that it was too cold to stay out but still not wanting to return home I went for one of my drives. Again I felt so free. I had my worship CDs on and I just spent time out from everything.

A song which has been really prominent for me over the last few days has been a Vineyard one called "Child of God". The chorus is still echoing around in my mind;

"Father, You're all I need
My soul's sufficiency
My strength when I am weak
That love that carries me
Your arms enfold me,
till I am only A child of God "

In times of doubtfulness and feeling week, useless and insignificant God is my strength. This was a real theme for me when driving. It was the thought that I kept coming back to. Someone said to me this week, whenever you feel distant from God, when you feel on your own, cling the cross. We have a God who is faithful.

Thank You God for Your faithfulness. I thank You that You will never fail me. I thank You that You are my strength when I feel week. That You are all I need. Lord I pray that I continually cling onto Your cross. In Your precious name, Amen

Whoever sugguested that idea to you about the cross-clenching thing truly is a good one....
Let the cross of Christ be your comfort,
Let the comfort of Jesus be your experience,
Let the experience of Jesus cause you never to stray from His cross.
Grace and peace to you

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!!!
