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.

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...
