Remembering.............

I was put to absolute shame on Monday night by my youth cell.  I was in a warm up session and was asked the question "what was the happiest thing that happened to you last year?" my mind froze and I didn't know what to say.  

One of my youth told me what should have been my answer to that question and actually it wasn't working with them!!!  It was a serious one involving God's provision and gracefulness.  It has had me thinking these last couple of days.  

It is so easy to forget how amazing God is, especially when we are suffering or busy or just feeling down. It is so easy to forget how God has already provided so much for us in so many ways.   When we don't feel great it is so easy to forget to be thankful to God for all He has done.  

"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it"
Psalm 118:24

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.

Try it on My Own......

I have been learning a new song for a while. It has been a Whitney Houston song called 'Try it on my own" . I wanted to perform it tonight for the first time so I have been really listening to it over the last couple of days. The lyrics are truly stunning. When I first started to learn the song I interpreted it as being a song from a crushed and broken woman getting ready to stand on her own two feet and build her life back from the ashes that it has become because of the pressures of another person. I felt it was a song about reclaiming identity. I connected with the song as a Christian and felt that the words to me meant cutting the ties of the past and having my new identity birthed. However listening to the song again over the past few days I have realised it is not how I want to be as a Christian. "And I am not afraid to try it on my own I don't care if I'm right or wrong I'll live my life the way I feel No matter what I'll keep it real you know Tim...
