Direction.......

I have always had an idea of the direction my life would head. I knew from the age of 5 what I wanted my occupation to be and that occupation has always stayed the same........well up until recently! It is now scary but exciting to think that God may be leading me in a completely different direction.

I used to get so concerned for people when they told me they didn't know what they wanted to achieve in life or didn't know what they wanted to do as a career. However, now at the age of 20 I am admitting - I have no clue!!! It is slightly daunting to think I am half way through my apprenticeship and have no real direction for afterwards. But of this I am certain God is the way, the truth and the life. He will give me direction and He will take me in the direction He wants me to go.

After such a powerful session I wanted to go and wind down and just spend some time out, not doing anything except exsisting. So I took a slow drive down to Southend, my intention to take a walk along the sea front and just breathe the air available. I parked up overlooking the sea and just thought. I had no real train of thought or specific prayer points I wanted to cover. I just let my mind and God's words lead me. I then put on the most stunning CD a beautiful friend did for me. The song 'Peacemaker' by Greg Ferguson started to play. Each word in the song is so heart touching and thought provoking - it is just a truly magnificent song. Just to ease your minds I did manage to drive h...

Christmas is approaching........

Today we put up the church Christmas decorations which was so comical, we had such a giggle and really enjoyed ourselves. It wasn't until I got home that it sank in - it is almost Christmas. Can you believe that we are already in December? Chris and I led our last youth cell till 2008 this evening and it was hilarious with the kids. They are just the greatest bunch of young people anyway, but playing games such as twister with them was just side splitting! Talking to them about Christmas and this time of year was just so thought provoking, they say what the usual teenagers say (actually what the majority of people say!) how they're looking forward to the food, presents and dressing up, on the other hand just simple comments like 'I am looking forward to the carol service', 'I am looking forward to spending time with my family' and 'I am looking forward to spending time away from the commercial Christmas' (how huge is that for a 13 year old to say!!!)
