Lean on me..........

My time working with the youth has brought me more surprises than I ever thought possible. The way their minds work, the questions they ask and the obvious time they spend carefully placing into words the amazing thoughts and their deepest feelings truly bowl me over.

Tonight was one of those times. I received an email from a member of the youth asking me to follow the link to a video on youtube. The email went on to say how much this video had spoken to them and they wanted me to watch and hoped it would impact me the same way in which it had them. When I emailed back and asked if I could place it on my blog and explain the circumstances behind the video, their comment was "I guess the more people it touches the better".

This video is a tribute to the people of America when Hurricane Katrina hit. It is a Christian Song entitled Lean on Me, sung by Kirk Franklin, Mary J, Bono, Crystal Lewis and R Kelly

I think it is such a blessing that you have such a strong relationship with your youth. It is obvious that they feel comfortable and at ease to share things with you. I pray that God may strengthen and deepen that relationship and bless your on-going work.

From reading your blog you are clearly a blessed and beautiful young woman.

God Bless

Lord You're Holy.......

I have been reflecting in many things this week and a real song of meditation and amazing worship for me has been Karen Wheaton "Lord You're Holy" . I was introduced to it at Kingdom Faith by Jane Urquhart at an amazing women's conference I attended there. The Lyrics are just awesome which is why I wanted to share them with you. Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name I look around and I see, All the works Your hands have made, The awesomeness of You, And how Your love will never fade, Mere words cannot express what I feel inside, I can’t describe Your glory divine, But as a token of my love, This is what I’ll do, I lift my hands and cry, Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name There’s not enough words that I can say, To tell You how much, I appreciate, all the wonderful things, You’ve given me, Your love and kindness, Your tender mercies, It’s my desire, to praise You and to tell You how much,...

Channel Four.......

This evening I watched a programme called 'The Virgin Daughters" on channel four.  It was all about purity and sex before marriage. I have to be truthful it totally freaked me.   I really believe that marriage is sacred and an act that shouldn't be taken into lightly, I also whole- heartedly  believe that you should save yourself for marriage. Saving yourself however I don't believe means you cant hold hands or kiss.  God isn't going to be upset with you because you kissed a boy at the age of 15, you aren't going to be unclean for holding someone of the opposites sex hand.  It makes me think what impression are we giving to younger non-Christians, 'if you become a Christian you cant hold you boyfriend/girlfriends hand until you're married'; that is insane and frankly I don't think 98% of young people will buy into. Also no offense to my Dad, however I don't want him to pick my future husband.  If my previous boyfriends asked my Dads permissi...
