Generations............

This weekend I have spent an amazing time at SOLID with the youth. I was challenged at every possible opportunity by God and just really had an awesome weekend with everyone, worshipping God and really just having a giggle!

I then went to a prayer meeting this evening at church and this line kept swirling around in my mind from the song 'Pick it Up' we sang this weekend.

"I choose to stand for my generation"

The worship song was about picking up our crosses and following God.

We were all reminded this weekend that normal little things can make a huge impact.

More than anything in this world I want to stand for my generation. However I also want to encourage, stand beside and support those younger than me to make the decision to stand for theirs.

Our Heavenly Father
In a society where hatred and harm is rife I choose to stand for my generation.
Lord help me to become a beacon for You, help me to enable and support not only the youth at church, but every younger or older person I come into contact with to choose to stand for their generation.
I cannot do this on my own, but only through Your strength, compassion and wisdom
In Your precious name
Amen

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 ...
