Autumn...

The Sleep Prayer...

This week, we had a friend at the Boomerang Project, who is really struggling to sleep, and get rest. To the point where he feels like the shell of a human, it is always crazy to see what worry , anxiety and pain can do to your sleep pattern and in turn, onto your life.

So as his friends, a few of us made a declaration, every night before we go to bed, we all pray for him, to have a good night sleep, we pray, he leaves all his worries and weight of troubles back in dream land, and he wakes up refreshed and excited about the day.

To know that there are people that would stand with him on his troubles, was new to him, the fact that a few people, would take time out of their lives to focus on him really connected to his core, it deeply moved him.

Holding and standing with each other when we struggle to hold our selves up, is what God's Love is all about.

I consider it a privilege to pray for him, and I pray come this Wednesday when I See him again, he tells me he's had the best week of sleep ever.

Rainy Day prayers..

All its done for the last 24 hours is rain, very heavy,  and as I am so lazy, I decided to have an indoor prayer session.

My friend Diane came round and we just prayed and spent time with God and it was fab, had such a good time, loving on the Lord. whilst listening to the rain on the Roof.

I actually don't mind the rain, when things like this happen,

Trying to Keep a grip on God.

This week Life and the ministry that i work at, has been pretty rough and bumpy. It's one of those weeks, where I can't really do or say anything, but just be there.

These are the times, I find it tough, as I like to have answers to questions, and the fact that, my main answer is 'We don't know why? just trust in God' is always hard.

Hebrews 10:22-25
So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshipping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.

Grace Wobble

Tonight was one of those nights, where my grace level seemed to have a wobble.

A man we have tried to help, and have loved and prayed for , seemed tonight to not want to help himself.

Frustration seemed to be my main emotion, 'if this guy could only think straight' 'make a logical choice' and 'help himself' were the words coming off my tongue. But then I look at him and see these questions have no place in his world.

All he sees is his desires and needs right now. No the sensible, healthy choice, but the choice of this moments desire.

Do you think God could sometimes look at us like that?

Sometimes I make choices in the moment, and regret it quickly after whether it be a swear word or a harsh action.

I quickly snapped out of my lack of grace, 'i'm not known for my logical actions and I remembered, with God there is no level of sin.

God sees us the same. Both with issues that needs heavens restoration..

At least the other guy is more honest with his.

Man... I still have sooo much too learn. xx

' If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to seperate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

-Alexander Solzhenitsyn

I'm a little Teapot.

'You can be a little, but powerful person,

I'm Just a teapot,and everyone has a teapot in their kitchen. You don't go to your friends house and say 'Wow, you have a teapot' you are not surprised, but when your friend Say's would you like some tea ? You immediately say ' Yes I would love some ' then you sit at the table and have a cup of tea and feel so loved and welcomed and accepted.

 You and I are little teapots. We get filled with love and simply pour out, that's what teapots are made for ,to pour out

From Curry to Coffins..

Last night at the project I work at, we had 2 Sikh people come a local temple, to cook for our project, their food was amazing, like seriously amazing, freaking hot, but amazing, they said they had made it as mild as they could, but all us British people were running for cups of water... am hoping they want to cook for us again.

Today I went to visit a friend of the project in Hospital, addiction seems to be winning with him, but the battle isn't over ... It was quite a wake up call, to what we do and the battle that we are against, addiction is seriously putting people in cages and in coffins, and its our jobs as Gods hands and feet, to stop this from happening..

Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell.

 

You Decked me with Wildflowers..

You did it: you changed wild lament
      into whirling dance;
   You ripped off my black mourning band
      and decked me with wildflowers.
   I'm about to burst with song;
      I can't keep quiet about you.
   God, my God,
      I can't thank you enough.- Psalm 30: 11-12
