Faithfulness..........

After a brilliant youth social at King Georges Park tonight, where they all played rounders and football, I decided to keep out in the fresh air and went walking after the Youth had left. There was just something so liberating being free to walk around the park.

After a really positive and uplifting day it was just so wonderful to be able to reflect on all the busyness of the last couple of weeks. It was time to think of questions posed, answered and thought of. It was time just to marvel at the awesomeness of creation.

Deciding that it was too cold to stay out but still not wanting to return home I went for one of my drives. Again I felt so free. I had my worship CDs on and I just spent time out from everything.

A song which has been really prominent for me over the last few days has been a Vineyard one called "Child of God". The chorus is still echoing around in my mind;

"Father, You're all I need
My soul's sufficiency
My strength when I am weak
That love that carries me
Your arms enfold me,
till I am only A child of God "

In times of doubtfulness and feeling week, useless and insignificant God is my strength. This was a real theme for me when driving. It was the thought that I kept coming back to. Someone said to me this week, whenever you feel distant from God, when you feel on your own, cling the cross. We have a God who is faithful.

Thank You God for Your faithfulness. I thank You that You will never fail me. I thank You that You are my strength when I feel week. That You are all I need. Lord I pray that I continually cling onto Your cross. In Your precious name, Amen

Whoever sugguested that idea to you about the cross-clenching thing truly is a good one....
Let the cross of Christ be your comfort,
Let the comfort of Jesus be your experience,
Let the experience of Jesus cause you never to stray from His cross.
Grace and peace to you
Love

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,...

Try it on My Own......

I have been learning a new song for a while. It has been a Whitney Houston song called 'Try it on my own" . I wanted to perform it tonight for the first time so I have been really listening to it over the last couple of days. The lyrics are truly stunning. When I first started to learn the song I interpreted it as being a song from a crushed and broken woman getting ready to stand on her own two feet and build her life back from the ashes that it has become because of the pressures of another person. I felt it was a song about reclaiming identity. I connected with the song as a Christian and felt that the words to me meant cutting the ties of the past and having my new identity birthed. However listening to the song again over the past few days I have realised it is not how I want to be as a Christian. "And I am not afraid to try it on my own I don't care if I'm right or wrong I'll live my life the way I feel No matter what I'll keep it real you know Tim...

Peacemaker..........

Tonight we took some of the youth to hear Tony Anthony speak. It was truly inspiring and moving. I know the youth loved it and lapped up every second available to them, so much so they all have his book 'Taming the Tiger' and want to talk about what was said at youth cell this week. 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...
