Bad Day......

Today has been a bad day. It has been tough and it has hurt. However I have decided that this is ok. It is ok to have rubbish days, it is alright to struggle and feel desperate - as long as you turn and grasp on stronger and tighter to God.

Today has truly been pants yet I have had some amazing prayer time and alone time with God. When the group of people from Tuesday club had left the church, I just sat there in silence for about an hour. It was stunning and more helpful than words could ever be. I just knew that God knew. God knows my hearts' desire, God knows my mangled thoughts, God knows the burdens that I carry upon my shoulders, God knows my fears, my insecurities and God knows my doubts - therefore why should I be ashamed to acknowledge them?

In a preach titled 'Sustaining Grace', we heard how God's grace can and will sustain us through our tiredness, temptations and troubles. The world is a difficult place to live in, however God will sustain us through all things.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

1 John 2:15-17

"As Believers we must guard out hearts and understand that no one crashes and burns.

They just slowly fade away one little compromise at a time" Mark Hall

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...

Search Me.......

Ok, I cant sleep and cant say I am impressed by it. I have a busy day tomorrow so really need my sleep - but whatever I do is not helping. I have gone for a drive, sat by the sea, walked along the front, counted sheep you name it I have done it!!! So I de cided to sort out my IPod. It has so much rubbish on and thought it would be good to get some new stuff on it for the holiday period. Sorting through my Cd's and found one I received a while ago by Vicky Beeching called 'Yesterday, today and forever' it is awesome. I stumbled across this song called 'Search Me' . The Lyrics are as followed: Search me Oh God Search me and find Any way in me that does not reflect Your purity Refine me Oh God In the fire of Your gaze That I might be holy in all of my ways Take me deeper Lord Draw me closer Lord… Give me a heart after Your own heart Give me a mind that is pure and pleasing to You Fill me with love With Your power and Your joy That this world might see You in me They ...
