You Are..........

Jim Rohn once said "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." When I first read this quote I dismissed it and thought how untrue this was!

However this has been swirling around in my mind for a while and I keep thinking if this is true, who would I want those five people to be? Do I personally surround myself with people of whom I aspire to be like, who I value and appreciate, who I look up to, who support me and who I can be a support to; do I surround myself with people who have a positive influence on my life and my walk with Christ?

This also led onto the thought process that my one true goal in life is to become more like Jesus. That is my biggest want and I think most Christians if not all relate to that. If the quote is true, then sense would tell me that I need to spend more time with God, in worship, in prayer and in study. Yet I know that since reading this quote I haven't stepped up my time with God, I haven't increased it in quantity nor quality. I also know deep down that in order for me to become more like Jesus I need to spend more time with Him. Jon wrote an awesome blog entry on distraction which I totally connected with. If I want to be more like Jesus I need to place aside time to be with Him and just Him. No half-heartedness, no mind wandering and no approaching it like it is a chore. Just spending quality time with my Saviour.

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...
