Plans.........

I have some big decisions to make over the next few weeks.  It is so insane I still feel like a little girl so making all these adult decisions just doesn't make much sense to me right now!!!

I went for one of my walks this evening - before you assume it was not Southend!  I am trying to find a new place to venture, Southend is almost warn out with my visiting and I think it is time I found some place new.  Anyway I was walking along just thinking and praying, asking for real wisdom and guidance for the next few weeks.  I am not really one of those people who gets a scripture from God that relates to their situation so I am not saying this definitely was but Jeremiah 29 kept coming to mind.  Nothing more precise just Jeremiah 29.

This evening I have read it and verses 11-12 just had my heart captured 

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you"

So often we think that our plans must be God's plans.  God has our plans, our futures, our journey written out for us.  We have to believe that if we believe our God is sovereign.  I have to hold on tightly to the the fact that my God is sovereign, even if at times this really hurts and I cannot comprehend why something is happening or has happened.  God knows and He only wants to bring me hope.

Through the darkest valley my God will bring me out onto the highest mountain top and enable me to soar on wings like eagles.  But I must trust.  I must believe.  I must never lose hope.  

God will answer the cries of my heart, but first I must bow down to Him in prayer and adoration.  God will answer.  God will listen.   

God will never leave, however hard we push or fight.  However hard we grasp onto and cling to, we can never lose Him.  God knows our situations, God knows the decisions we have to, are making or have already made.  God knows what our next phase will be. 

All we can do is have peace that God only wants to bring us hope.

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...
