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 decided 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 to me were just so challenging. Psalm 139:22 states "See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

That is so my prayer right now. I want to make every breath and every moment I have count for God. I want to be pure in heart and a beacon for His kingdom. Yet that is so hard and I know I will fail. However I also know that my Father will be there to spur me on, to encourage me, to guide and support me. He has placed people by my side to stand with me, united, in order that we may reach out to those who do not yet know Him.

I know I must constantly be refined by my maker, I pray that I may enable that process to happen.

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...
