Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day today! And seeing as I don't have a "Valentine" as such (much to my dismay, I hasten to add!) I sat this morning and read about how much God loves me.

Found Zephaniah 3:17 and though about 'He will quiet you with His love' And you know what...He does! sometimes when I'm worshipping (as in singing worshipping) I suddenly feel like I should just be still and not sing for awhile. And I love those times cause I feel like I'm worshipping just by being me in His presence. And don't get me wrong I love singing I think it is such a good way to express how I feel and what I mean and I normally have amazing times with Jesus when I'm singing. But the quiet times in worship are so refreshing as well.

So no doubt when I get home the post mat will be empty (get the violins out!) but I'm ok cause I have the greatest love that anyone could wish for when and where I want it.

Whats that I hear in my inner being....God is good all the time, all the time, God is good. (if when you feel like he isn't!)

Happy St. Valentines day everyone, may you experience a little, no a lot of God's amazing love for you xxx

His Love Endures Forever

Beautiful morning, this morning! Got up earlier to plan what I'm going to cook tonight and to finish off my application form which is proving harder than I thought it would. Just taken a walk out and it is so gorgeous. I love it when it's cold and sunny cause it always reminds me of the day I became a Christian. And when the sun does break through the coldness it always reminds me of the first time I felt that God loves me.

Just having a little bit of a break from everything to write this and then back to planning and finishing off my application form.

Seen quite a few people I haven't seen for ages this week and it has been really good, and also I heard from some friends over broad which was good but made me realise how much I miss them.

On the whole I feel good and excited and happy and lovely....I love days like this. Thank you Lord, you rock forever x

Sugar and sweetness

Well this lent business about having no sugar in tea and coffee is really interesting cause I have found that I can drink tea if it's very milky but not I cannot drink coffee without sugar at all!
I mean it's just minging. How people do it I will never know. It's soo bitter. And I am not a bitter girl. I love my sweetness. (Taste that is not me!) So I will not be drinking any more coffee for the rest of lent but it's a small sacrifice compared to the one that Jesus made for me so I'll be fine.

Went to the Cathedral last night and that place really messes with my head because I love it so much but I sit there and I see all the unused potential and it winds me up. It really does my head in cause I can see how good it could be and it just is not.

When we got home from the Cathedral we settled down to watch Lost and now that is doing my head in too. I mean what in the world is going on? And why do they never give you an answers? And why do I keep watching it?

Work again today and then I'm off for two days and I've got people round on tomorrow night for a meal...ahhhh I'm scared, haven't cooked for loads of people for absolutely ages!

Home group tonight but I can't remember where we said it was going to be...how rubbish a leader am I? No doubt God will make it a really good evening and I'll fall into bed afterwards more in love with Him than I was before the night! God is good all the time, All the time God is good. (Johan Shep.)
