Home........


The saying goes 'Home is where the heart is'.  Firstly I struggle with that concept because physically your heart goes with you everywhere (I hope....) so therefore home is wherever you are physically.

On the other hand if you say that your home is where your 'emotional' heart is, then I think I am homeless!!!  This upsets me.  As you can tell I have been thinking of this a lot recently because I do have random mind!  I know if ever I were physically homeless I would always have places to go.  I am fortunate to have some amazing friends, people whom God has placed in to my life who have honestly made such a difference.  People who have and am sure will continue to 'put up with me' when I have no where to go.  

But where is my home?  Obviously I have a house where my family are, and where I  live.  But actually I don't consider that where my 'heart' stays.  Therefore my question is can  you be emotionally homeless?  If so how can you create/make/have an emotional home?

Just some random musings of  my mind...

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!!!)

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' Christal Carpenter
