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

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...

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!!!) Com...
