Find your wings.............

Today someone fleetingly commented on worth and selling yourself short because you don't think you're worth enough. That comment has stuck with me since so much so,that instead of going out I needed to go home and just spend some time with God in Bible study and prayer.

I found myself drawn into Psalm 139. All of a sudden I was sobbing at the beauty and truth of this psalm. 'Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?' (verse 7) Whenever we want to hide from God whether that be denying Him or convincing ourselves we are doing His will when we know we're not, He is still there. He knows what we are doing. We cant hide.

God knows us and all He wants for us is good. So those who convince us to do something which won't bring goodness to us, aren't telling us to do something for God.

After my time out I needed to be free so in usual Emma style went for a drive. Once in the beautiful Southend I went armed for my usual beach walk with my IPod.

The song came on 'Find your wings' by Mark Harris. Once again I found myself weeping at the unconditional love and father figure we receive from God. Many role models in our lives don't turn out to be all that we want or need or actually deserve, but God is that steady rock that we can rely, depend and lean upon.

He helps us to find our wings.....

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...
