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.....

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...

Search Me.......

Ok, I cant sleep and cant say I am impressed by it. I have a busy day tomorrow so really need my sleep - but whatever I do is not helping. I have gone for a drive, sat by the sea, walked along the front, counted sheep you name it I have done it!!! So I de cided to sort out my IPod. It has so much rubbish on and thought it would be good to get some new stuff on it for the holiday period. Sorting through my Cd's and found one I received a while ago by Vicky Beeching called 'Yesterday, today and forever' it is awesome. I stumbled across this song called 'Search Me' . The Lyrics are as followed: Search me Oh God Search me and find Any way in me that does not reflect Your purity Refine me Oh God In the fire of Your gaze That I might be holy in all of my ways Take me deeper Lord Draw me closer Lord… Give me a heart after Your own heart Give me a mind that is pure and pleasing to You Fill me with love With Your power and Your joy That this world might see You in me They ...
