Early Morning Prayer.....

When my alarm went off this morning at 5:45 I was not impressed at the thought of clambering out of warm, cozy bed to the cold, wet world facing me outside my bedroom door! However I managed to force myself into a state of consciousness and get to early morning prayer by the unearthly hour of 6:30 am. When there, my sleepy state was rudely awoken by the text that lay in front of me. "Tell God that you want to love him as he desires you to 'Let you will be done in my life Lord' ". We also focused on Hosea 6:6 'I don't want your sacrifices - I want your love; I don't want your offerings - I want you to know me' both of these statements really challenged me. Do I know God as well as I should do? Do I spend enough time in His word and in prayer to intensify and deepen that relationship with Him? My head has been buzzing from thoughts, ideas, concepts and dreams since reading this a couple of hours ago; I know that I have got a lot of things to journal, pray and discuss this week. I also know that the effort at 5:45 to get out of bed to get to early morning prayer was truly worth the energy and has set me up for the rest of the week!!!

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...
