That Five Letter Word........

Like most people, before I became a Christian I was not a particularly nice person. I did things and said things I now regret. After I became a Christian I repented of those things and thought it would make everything better. Then a few weeks ago I realised my behaviour then, still had implications on my life as a Christian today. It came to me that I n

ot only needed to apologise to God for my wrong actions, but also to the people that I carried out those wrong doings on. This week I have been doing exactly that, I have been saying sorry to those people. That 5 letter word "sorry" is actually one of the most dificult words, this I also didnt realise till this week. I knew God would forgive me as long as I was truly sorry, however with these people I didnt know whether forgiveness would be given. This week didnt completely go my way, nevertheless I know in my heart and spirit I did the right thing.

Sorry is one of the hardest words someone can say, however if it is said in the appropriate circumstance it is also the most humbling.

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...

Emma Bearfoot.......

Tonight I am really sad, a good friend of mine from the Royal Brompton died very suddenly yesterday. I went back and read her blog this evening and it really moved me. Do people know if they are going to die? Although she has been unwell, Emma had a heart attack so no one actually could have predicted her passing, yet her last blog talks about life and death, and how you must make the most of life while you have it. It is so moving when re-reading it now she has gone. Even though I have known her for a few years, I never knew she had a blog until I received a comment on mine a couple of months ago. Apparently I touched her because she yearned for a faith and a relationship with Christ, but did not know how to possess one. We have shared some awesome email conversations about life and Jesus. My prayer tonight is she found what she was so desperately longing for...

Live for each day!!!
