Posters.......

I have been in hospital the last two days, just for treatment and tests.  Those last two blog entries were posters on my wall.

Anyone who knows me, understands what a wimp I am when it comes to needles and blood.  I am truly petrified of needles - blood I am starting to handle quite well thanks to frequent nose bleeds!!!  Anyway as the 'vampires' were having there own sweet way with my blood, my eyes fell upon these posters and the words just moved me.  

In Church we have been looking at pressing on towards the goal and to me that was what the determination poster was all about.  It doesn't matter how fast or well you run this race, its the way you just keep persevering, no matter what is thrown at you, you just never give up, you keep going until you reach that finish line.

The attitude quote for me was just pure encouragement.  I heard a preacher say on Sunday that we cant live in the past or assume/let the past dictate who we are now.  To me this attitude poster supported that.  Don't look at the shadows, even if you yourself have made them, but fix your eyes on Jesus, the sunshine and light - because with Him even the darkest shadows will disappear.

Peacemaker..........

Tonight we took some of the youth to hear Tony Anthony speak. It was truly inspiring and moving. I know the youth loved it and lapped up every second available to them, so much so they all have his book 'Taming the Tiger' and want to talk about what was said at youth cell this week. After such a powerful session I wanted to go and wind down and just spend some time out, not doing anything except exsisting. So I took a slow drive down to Southend, my intention to take a walk along the sea front and just breathe the air available. I parked up overlooking the sea and just thought. I had no real train of thought or specific prayer points I wanted to cover. I just let my mind and God's words lead me. I then put on the most stunning CD a beautiful friend did for me. The song 'Peacemaker' by Greg Ferguson started to play. Each word in the song is so heart touching and thought provoking - it is just a truly magnificent song. Just to ease your minds I did manage to drive h...

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!!!)
