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,...

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...

Slow Dance.......

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask how are you? Do you hear the reply? When the day is done Do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Ever told your child we'll do it tomorrow? And in all you haste, No see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time  to call and say 'Hi' You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day It is like an unopened gift..... Thrown away Life is n...
