Freedom.....


All I want is freedom
Is that too much to ask
All I want is freedom
To forget everything from my past
All I want is freedom
To take away all the tears and the pain
All I want is freedom
To never feel that way again
All I want is freedom 
To love you my own way
All I want is freedom 
to make all my fears go away
All I want is freedom
To say 'I love you'
All I want is free 
To hear you say 'I love you too'

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!!!)

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...

A Fathers Love.............

How far does a father's love stretch?   Is your father's love conditional or unconditional? What do you know will push father to the realms of unforgiving? The film 'Father of the Bride' sees a Dad so devoted to his daughter he will try and do anything to keep hold of her, to stop her growing up.  He tries anything to make sure he doesn't have to giver her away to another man.  Then when he knows he has to let go you see his heart break - lovingly break within the church as she is getting married - but break nonetheless.  You see that a phone call of reassurance and love makes him realise that his daughter will forever be his, she will always be his little girl. John Q is an amazing film that shows the true lengths a dad will go to for his child.  Knowing he cant pay for his child's life-saving surgery he takes the hospital hostage in a bid to save his son.  A father's love that is unconditionally and powerful.  A man that will go to any lengths including cr...
