I was expectant this weekend for God to move. I was, after all, going to a conference called YA MOVEMENT, so I can’t be criticised too much for having that expectancy! On Friday night I would say I was stirred, but not moved. I could sense God wanted to speak, but there was a barrier…
Perspective
It’s been a while since I wrote a blog, so please bear with me! Right now isn’t the time or place for me to discuss what’s been happening with me in the past few months. Just to put it lightly – I’ve had a rough time. Actually, the first real rough time since I became…
Listening For God’s Voice
Listening to God is a part of Christianity that seems so weird and foreign to me. I grew up knowing that God was real, but not understanding that you can have a relationship with Him – in fact, that’s all He really wants from you. When people talk about listening to God’s voice, or how…
To Believe is to Trust
I believe every word the Bible says.
I believe in miracles. I do.
I believe that Jesus was born of a virgin.
I believe that Jesus healed the sick – giving sight to those who could not see, making the lame walk, changing the hearts of those filled with hate.
Jesus performed miracle after miracle. He didn’t even have to do anything for some people – His presence was enough to change them.
But here’s the challenge – who do I believe is really in control of my life?
What do I believe? What do you believe?
Is it Jesus? God incarnate, here to change the world so we could thrive for His glory?
Or is it your *insert personal hang-up here*?
Why Sunday is my least favourite day of the week…
A lot of people will be horrified by the thought that, even as a Christian, Sunday is my least favourite day of the week. Many people reading this post will probably take pity on me. My mother in particular will probably feel quite sad. (Mumma – maybe stop reading now!) The reason for this seemingly…
Hell no H20!
Today the water ‘problem’ in Preston has come to a close. Last week, the water straight from the tap became drinkable again, but today a letter dropped onto my doormat from United Utilities with a compensation cheque in it. I want to stick my oar in and let you know my thoughts…
Proud (of) Preston
For a long time I’ve seen Preston in all its dullness. The constant grey. The regular rain. How that all combines in the city leaving this depressing feel to it. But, today, walking to Morrisons on the docks this afternoon gave me time to reflect and think about this city I call home.
Kind Words vs Trash Talk
Dear Internet Users, I’m writing this letter today to show you an example of the good things you can do. So often, you choose to lurk in the dark corners of this place and choose to strike out at unsuspecting victims, like a playful cat with their claws out. I’m appealing to your sense of…
Taking God AND His Word
God is going through a period of challenging me on pretty much everything right now, and yesterday it was His Word. Literally – the Bible, more specifically, the Old Testament. My view has always been that the Old Testsment has some great stuff in it, but it’s too complicated to actually read. I’ve always thought…
