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

Christmas is approaching........

Today we put up the church Christmas decorations which was so comical, we had such a giggle and really enjoyed ourselves. It wasn't until I got home that it sank in - it is almost Christmas. Can you believe that we are already in December? Chris and I led our last youth cell till 2008 this evening and it was hilarious with the kids. They are just the greatest bunch of young people anyway, but playing games such as twister with them was just side splitting! Talking to them about Christmas and this time of year was just so thought provoking, they say what the usual teenagers say (actually what the majority of people say!) how they're looking forward to the food, presents and dressing up, on the other hand just simple comments like 'I am looking forward to the carol service', 'I am looking forward to spending time with my family' and 'I am looking forward to spending time away from the commercial Christmas' (how huge is that for a 13 year old to say!!!)

2 Corinthians 4:16-18........

This is the reason we do not give up. Our human body is wearing out. But our spirits are getting stronger every day. The little troubles we suffer now for a short time are making us ready for the great things God is going to give us forever. We do not look at the things that can be seen. We look at the things that cannot be seen. The things that can be seen will come to an end. But the things that cannot be seen will last forever. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (New Life Version)

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...
