So lately I have this vission in my head, its kind of like a parrable! It represents the world, the people that only see the surface and for me personally my parents and family, the other people represented are people "Christians" who search deeper than the surface!
Its like the world settle with rocks and gravel that is on the surface as that is all they can see, so that is what they accept! Its got no great value but it is all they know! This can be the relationships they have, the jobs they have, the role they play in the world! They are scared of digging underground as it is hard work, and they dont know what they will find down there so they dont bother looking! They are scared of leaving the surface as it is where they feel comfortable and it seems the "normal" thing to do is to stay on the surface!
This is the view my parents have, they want me to stay on the surface! They want me to get a "normal" job as that is where they think i'll be secure! They get scared of me going underground!
But me I want to dig deep underground! I want to go places they never dreamed of! Yes I will get mucky along the way, and it will be hard work at times! And sometimes I will get lost, but the I will have a light to guide me back on my journey and that light is Jesus! And after all this hard work and all this "digging" I will find something that people on the surface will never have seen, I will find a diamond!
That diamond will be what Jesus has wanted me to find, what He wanted me to do, His purpose that He planned for me! And I will find it! Everybody has a dimond to find! So get your spades and start digging!!!!

Just a quick something that really spoke to me the other day!
I was listening to Lecrae - Rebel album and there a song called truth which put somthing into simple terms which I thought was great, here is what it was:
"Some people say that God ain't real 'cause they dont see how a good God can exist with all this evil in the world. If God is real He should stop all this evil, 'cause He's all-powerfull right? What is evil thoigh man? It's anything that's against God. It's anything morally bad or wrong. It's murder, rape, stealing, lying, cheating. But if we want God to stop evil, do we want Him to stop it all or just a little bit of it? If He stops us from doing evil things, what about lying, or what about our evil thoughts? I mean, where do you stop, the murder level, the lying level, or the thinking level? If we want Him to stop evil, we gotta be consistent, we can't just pick and choose. That means you and I would be eliminated right? Because we think evil stuff. If that's true, we should be elminated! But thanks be to God that Jesus stepped in to save us from our sin! Christ died for all evilness! Repent, turn to Jesus man!"
Thats all think about it! Peace out!

Why are people so scared of Jesus!
"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the Light"
How come when people want to know more about Jesus, other people try and stand in the way! From the youth event we had a girl that really enoyed it, and wants to know more, and told her parent that she wants to become a Christian =)...But then her parents now say that she not aloud to go to church any more, or any other events.
I can understand the parents concern, but surley it would be better for them to check it out there selves, and see whats it all about, and then they can understand that we are trying to do good in the world! Rather then just putting a full stop to it.
It seems that the parents would rather have there kids on the streets because that more "normal" rather then making a difference in there life for good, and helping the reach there full potential!
Please pray that parents will have more of a soften heart towards the light, towards the good, toward Jesus! Help them see the good and love in us a Christians =)

Stand Revolution!!!
Well wow where do i start, I have just finshed washing rice pudding out of my hair from a crazy youth event!
Our youth team "Stand" held an event at our church tonight and it was so awesome, God totally moved in the building, in such a fun and exciting way! I am so pleased, and thankful to God, all Glory goes to Him!
Well we started the event with a crazy ice breaker, called face in a bowl or somthing, Me, Abi O, Abi H, and Karsten all had to put our faces in cold custard, cold spagetti, cold rice pudding, and flour to find 8 malteasers with only our mouths! Wow It was so funny, and so hard, to do. Everybody go so stuck in though is was such a laugh, i have a picture of Abi O and he looks like mushroom with flour all over his face and his shower cap, but Abi O did win so hats off to him ha!
Then we went in to a hyped worship session, with smoke machine crazy light and very loud music! the only way music should be! The songs was awesome, and all the youth got into it, my cousins had her freind were so going for it, singing away and raising hand and everything bless them, thank you Lord.
Me, Wez and Jamie then shared a meassage, about being a now generation, and taking oppourtinties we are given, not waiting around, it went so well and ran so smoothly, again thank you Lord it was you that spoke not us!
Then another quick worship session, ah i loved it. Then we all went down stairs for free ice cream (which mine got stood in wow thanks ha!), we had a games room packed with xbox, playstation wii, which was sweet and everyone loved, then in the youth wing we had a chill out zone with sofa's and live acoustic music, thanks to wez and jamie =), there was also a prayer room at the back which got used quite abit so that was awesome, my cousin and her friend even wrote a prayer, and it was so thoughful and touching, thank you Lord so much!
So yeh all in all was an amzaing event and a night to remember, met some cool new people which was great =) and lots of new faces, hopefully see them all again at the next event!
Jesus you are awesome!
