Home!
There are times in everybodys life were they loose their way for a period of time, for this is quite a regular thing not that i enjoy it, i find it's fair to easy to slip back in to old routines. However, as a person we should always have a place where we can call home for each person this is different, for some this maybe with friends, family. However the place were all these things are "friends, family," is at church. The place were we go for redemption for love for friends. However i don't want to portray church as utopia life has it peaks but it sometimes we also have troofs, "the low points". So i thought i'd write this just so i can acknowledge that my home is my church were i am surrounded by people who love life and have a energetic view towards life :)

The Salt and Pepper concept!
Today i was watching Wall-e, it just reminded me of a brilliant concept, "salt an pepper".
In life we often look for people that most suit us or are the same kind of people. However more often than we argue with the people how are most like us. So the idea of the salt and pepper concept challenges a person to look for something completely different in a friendship or relationship, the main idea being that salt and pepper are two tottaly different things but together they are good and nice.
So the challenge is don't expect the normal the same expect something that may different.Don't look for someone who is the same what you always had look for something different someone that you don't know :P

WOW!
Tonight was the first time i actually felt God fill me up and i felt myself let go of life and place my complete trust in him. So how this came about, we were driving past trinity church earlier and my friend said does anyone fancy visiting trinity tonight and i had wanted to visit for a while now so i was well up for it. We arrived and i was astounded by the inside of the church the vibrance of the atmosphere just blow me away. Then the worship got underway for a long time i felt myself pulling away from God and even the worship made feel closer to him. Then the message wow how relevant can you get this morning at my church i heard an awesome message and then another awesome message tonight and this point im already buzzing with God. Then we were asked to go to the front if we wanted to be filled DAZZLE and be prayed for at first i didn't want to,go and then Angela asked me if i wanted to go down and i said ok as you do thinking nothing of it. We got to the front and a man came and placed his hand upon my back and asked me what i wanted pray for and i said to fill me with Gods annoiting and draw me closer to him so he started to pray and i can't even describe what it felt like God had stretched his hand out and had hold me and that i was not to fear anything. The room went completely silent for me and i started talking in tongues wow i can't even describe how it felt my hand were massively shaking i felt like crying it was just epicly awesome. GOD IS AWESOME. The man who was praying for told me that he felt God saying to him that i was going to have peace in stressful situations and really feel that sent me there tonight to filled with his HOLY SPIRIT. That is only a fraction of what i felt!

God has a plan
Recently i was been feeeling out of depth, "like im on a sinking ship" but the other day my friend turned to me and said "God won't give you anything you can't handle" the comment couldn't have been made at any better time. So it got me thinking what has God got set out for me, let me tell you this though only you can truely know what God has put in you. In my life i have seen many thing and had many opputunities that i might have missed out on some, thought i couldn't handle some but every oppurtunitite i have taken either found that was not right for me or i have suceeded. In the bible it tells us that go has a plan for Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” and i think it is time we all started to trust God a litttle more including me :)
What has God put in your heart let me know :)

Everlasting Love!
I was walking around school today and there was many young people giving cards and saying "happy valentines" but it brought to my mind what is love? " 1-Corinthians 13:4-7 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
Straight away this came to mind and i asked myself once again how many of these people surrounding me in my day to day life actually know what True love really is.
I believe the only place we can really find love like this is in God, But never the less thats does not mean that we shouldn't have relationships.
What are your thoughts?

Reflection,
This week has been a time of reflection for me, i have met some of my old thought about where i was without God,
Firstly in the week i saw my old friends, it was so nice to just have a catch and see where they are in life and what has changed. It's surprised me to see how some people never change and some people have changed so much, and one told me that i had an influence on them changing because of the way i spoke to them "you treated me with respect", which is hard to find these days.
As i met up with my old friends it brought back them memory's of when i didn't have God in my life i was a mess big style, now have God my life has changed. I thought to my self where would i be with out God, and by doing this i realised how great it was to have God in my life and moving forward with him.
"Its not always bad to reflect on the past you should try it sometime"

You Can't Buy Beauty In A Tin!!!
As i look around me there are women, girls and even children being dressed up in make up, however, we have to ask ourselves are they doing it because of the media, to hide behind emotion?
As i have to so many to so many different girls that to be beautiful its not all about how you look its about how you feel and who you are as a person.
So many people these days dive into relationships because they don't know what they are looking for in life, but i say you need to find your cause in life before you have a relationship because there is no point trying to find a cause in someone you love because it won't work. You need to know who you are and where you are going before you can properly commit to a relationship :)
What are you thoughts it would be really interesting to know?
