The sound of sheer silence

Im so happy, my blog is working again, im in Malaysia, i've made lots of new friends, I have awesome new bedding from Ikea and my room actually feels like home now rather than a hotel....its all very exciting, but now however we're off out for tea and then to see Final Destination 5!! I will update very soooooon, if you're reading this, then no doubt I miss you-remember that. Whoever you are, whatever you believe, I wish you a happy Hari Raya, God is good, however you depict him Amen <3 Go in peace, for the Lord is with you, always and forever

Each time I begin to wonder if the guy in the sky has it all sorted, if he really knows what he's doing, each time, when things get a bit difficult, when the mood is tense, emotions are running high, and Faith seems...quite painful, and complicated-but remember, at these times, if not more so than any, God is there, and he wants you to let him in, he wants to listen, he wants to hold you, to help you, to heal you Give God your whole self, and not just the leftovers, the bits you don't want, the bits that you're unsure of, give him your all, so you may recieve the full measure of his love... I was beginning to wonder, if the pain and nerves in the run up to my mega trip, were actually worth it, but then today, as I stood in the rain, saying my goodbyes to some of the most incredible people I know, God gave me a rainbow-it was beautiful, it made me cry...but not only that, it made me realise that once again, I had doubted, him, the creator of all things...what kind of p...

The world is a wilderness, waiting for the flow of God's river...take courage, fear not. I love the above quote, and therefore googled it, and consequently found this article by revival preacher Andrew Strom....which it won't let me copy & paste, so thats annoying!! I've put it in a note on facebook if you want to check it out. As someone mentioned in a sermon the other week-farmers don't harvest when the time is convenient, they harvest when the crop is ripe, when the time is right, when the things set in place are ready....don't expect God to work his wonders when you wish, when its convenient for you, when you ask him, not even when you beg or plead with him, God uses his mighty power for the better, but only when the time is right, when the things he has set in place are ready, when his people are ripe, when things are organised, when places are set, when he is ready-when his plan allows it!! God answers our prayers in his time, not ours... Amen ...

This song is my most played at the minute, I love it :) It was on a CD I got for my baptism, off my sister and husband, and its lovely Before the Morning: Do you wonder why you have to, feel the things that hurt you, if there's a God who loves you, where is He now? Maybe, there are things you can't see and all those things are happening to bring a better ending some day, some how, you'll see, you'll see Would dare you, would you dare, to believe, that you still have a reason to sing, 'cause the pain you've been feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming so hold on, you got to wait for the light press on, just fight the good fight because the pain you've been feeling, it's just the dark before the morning My friend, you know how this all ends and you know where you're going, you just don't know how you get there so just say a prayer. and hold on, cause there's good who love God, life is not a snaps...

This is a bit of a mish mash of stuff, but the title was easily chosen-it was a question put forward during a sermon a few weeks back, now I can't really remember the context it was given in, or why it was asked, however I can say that its stuck with me, its lodged itself in my head and heart, and its making me wonder....is my faith free range, what does it mean to have faith like this, how can we become more free range?? Now I don't have the answers to these questions, and i'll delve further into these in another post, but for now, here is a brief insight into my head: Its so easy in today's society to get caught up in everyone else's business, to get so immersed in 'life' that we forget about God, when really, we should be offering our whole lives as praise and worship to our awesome God, our God who is constant, who gives us freedom, yet seeks to meet us in every time and every place, wherever it may be. Our God who gives us eternal life, so that we may...

I have been so busy lately, its insane, I can't believe its August already, its the 6th...so I leave the country in 15 days, 2 weeks tomorrow :s That's really scary-I can't believe it's happening so soon, i've got so much to do, im really getting scared now, like im so unbelievable excited, but it really is sinking in now, I feel sick....Im going to miss so many people...what if I can't do it, what if im not strong enough...arghh!!! Its really happening, its actually real-I can't wait, but I really don't want to leave people, I don't want to lose people :s Im doubting myself, and it making me doubt God, which I know is daft, because God is all loving and is in charge of the bigger picture...but what if it falls apart whilst im out there? What if Grandma dies, what if my Dad gets ill again, what if he gets really ill?? What if something happens to Charis, what if someone gets hurt-what if!! Mess of me-Switchfoot I am my own affliction I am m...
