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

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...
