Reminders.......

Today I had one of those "feeling sorry for yourself" days. I totally hate it when others have those days and here I am having one myself! I have a bad ear infection, which I have never had before and didn't actually realise how painful they are!

Instead of letting myself laze about it self pity I decided to keep myself busy and rearrange my bedroom! Its something I have wanted to do for a while, I do it quite frequently usually when I am starting a new job, a new academic programme etc. So I was due for a change around ready for university.

I love the way in which everything gets so so so messy and then out of the mess things start to take shape again, but you have to get into that messy stage for it to happen. I also love the way you come across things and read things you've looked at before but never really taken notice to.
When I finished my apprenticeship I was thoroughly spoilt and placed all my cards in a memory box with my journal and other special things from the apprenticeship. I re-read through them all and read my journal and was reminded about the amazingly special time God allowed me to have during those unforgettable 11 months. I then came across a card from a beautiful willow tree ornament I was given called Angel of the heart. The card reads "for those who love and are loved".

It is astonishing how God reminds you of such simple truths when you need to be reminded by them more than ever.

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. Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name I look around and I see, All the works Your hands have made, The awesomeness of You, And how Your love will never fade, Mere words cannot express what I feel inside, I can’t describe Your glory divine, But as a token of my love, This is what I’ll do, I lift my hands and cry, Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name There’s not enough words that I can say, To tell You how much, I appreciate, all the wonderful things, You’ve given me, Your love and kindness, Your tender mercies, It’s my desire, to praise You and to tell You how much,...

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...
