this morning i went to see my lovely friends at the elim church in southville, was really good and my past view blogs fell into place and ive come up with a summary of them!
ok we are created to be creative, we need to be creative to meet the generation, when we meet the generation there will be a revival!
this means we have to try new things...as howard said we are always reluctant to new things in the church... but when someone offers us something new in replacement of somthing old we're more than accepting! when the organ was new in the church everyone was like nooo that would never work we cant have that... and now the band is here we are facing that senorio again with some people....

billy.... trying to put a godly aspect on it....
billy... for thoose of you who have met my amazing hamster billy, last night was a very sad time... at the moment only his family and godparent knows... he sadly died... *cries* he was having little hamster fits and gradually getting worse and worse till he couldnt move by himself.... was horrible!!! so much that i was told by billys own grandmother!! that the kindest way would be to suffercate him.... and after a while i believed her... but knowone could bring themselfs to do it....
he was the most AMAZING hamster ever!!! he was soooo friendly never bit anyone.. apart from mike cox.. but that doesnt count!
AND he could dance! it was a well trained skill! and i could talk to him and he'd always offer a sympathetic ear! always listening and atleast looking like he understood! im going to try and upload a picture of him to my page... soon hopefuly
urmm i cant realy find a godly aspect on it...

takes two to chatt!
another thing i thought today about prayer and talking to god (oo note to self what you just remebered write in a min) is that it takes two to have a conversation!
most people look at prayer as a one way thing us talking to god! and most of us dont give time for god to talk back... that just got me thinking!
also what i rembered was what i was told my a very lovely but crazzy american lady called rachel! she titled it chatting to god!
the first thing she said to a room of 8-9 year olds and leaders was: "how many of you have ever told god a joke?" we all kinda went you what?!
she went on to make that point that god was your friend so you can talk to him like a friend! if your reading this i challenge you now to tell god a joke!
ok and like a friend you can chatt to god when ever you want where-ever you want! and even if you babble god wont say oi your not making any sence!
since hearing this off rachel ive tried chatting to god! its amazing! walking to school of whatever just talking chatting through what i had ahead of me or anything! i challeng YOU to start chatting to god caulse i dont want YOU to miss out!

prayer
k im gonna try to not muck up the html in this post!
praying! what ive been thinking about today is:
how do we pray, like what do we say? prayers in churches are so structured and formed, but how would that work in a normal conversation? dont get me wrong im sure there right in the right situation, but isnt prayer ment to be a normal conversation? if i went up to my dad and said my piece then said in tims name amen... hes going to think ive lost it!
ok you've got to have respect for god, but talking to him normaly is a must. conversation is a must for any relationship to grow... its the same with god.
thats just whats been crossing my mind today!

Matt Redman
We're looking to Your promise of old
That if we pray and humble ourselves
You will come and heal our land
You will come
You will come
We're looking to the promise You made
That if we turn and look to Your face
You will come and heal our land
You will come
You will come to us
Lord, send revival, start with me
For I am one of unclean lips
And my eyes have seen the King
Your glory I have glimpsed
Send revival, start with me

2) so many different things have changed my life around in the last 2years! going from wanting to be a music teacher(what was i thinking!!!!!!!) to coming down to earth a bit more and praying alot more!! and realising that, god doesnt want me 2 be a music teacher!!! and live for him 24/7 doing his work! -as yet not entirely sure what that is!!
3) i went to school of worship last year! in cheltnam with mr jamie hill! was totaly awesome! and now trained in worship leading! bet u didnt know that!!
4)my parents dont know that i use this.... so if you are my parent sorry and i am being very safe :)
5) before the summer my life was such a mess!!! SERIOUSLY!! punching walls till my hands were bruised and hurt was a regular occurrence! and when i went to talk to people close i was blanked... but after an amazing time of ministry and just chilling in gods arms my life has bin totaly transformed!!!
i think thats 5 things! i have not decided on my 5 people yet so watch out it could be you!!!!

a place of peace....
sitting watching a candle glow, everyone around me thinking and praying about this christmas season. a place of peace. but then i think why am i distracted... theres so much going on everywhere in my life im constantly distracted from everything. but in my distraction im desperate, desperate for that place of peace i cant find.
im not going to go into all that going on at the moment caulse if you know me you should know. but none of its in my control, its in the control of my creator so why is it making me so miserable?
you hear stuff on tv about peoples lives that get totaly ripped apart and changed, and wonder what it feels like, but when you feel it for realy you wished you never wondered.
no matter how many times you put on the smiley "nothings wrong" face and go out pretending, it wont go away. i wish i could open up 2 people face to face, but instead i pour it all out on the computer, for worry of what certain close people in my world would think of me, do to me, or treat me different because of what i say. theres still a risk of them seeing it on here, but if they read what i've written they will be upset, and i think i've already upset them enough in this life already.
trying to keep a straight face as i write this, but then the emotions build up and take over, i feel my eyes filling up and think no i cant cry ive got to be strong. if i cry i'll upset the people around me.
i still find it weird how i can sit here and pour my emotions out into a computer when i wouldnt have the faintest idea on how to speak what ive written!

mini mozart !!!
k i was looking round my music class today and there are soooo many talented people in there!!! like seriously good! (im trying not to write in short cause some people dont understand lolz!!)-dam! anyways! like realllyy amazing!!! stupidly high grades and yeah its amazing...
but its sooo depressing like why am i not as good as them?! but then after been depressed and bored for most of the hour thought hey gods given me this gift so even if i think im rubbish compared to the mini mozarts in my class, god dosent!
what i also thought in my depressing inspirational music hour was that majorty of people in my music class do grade with royal school of music, so are pretty much classicaly trained... this isnt a bad thing i guess but thinking that im over half way through my classical music training before i become grade8 mini mozart is a horrible feeling!!! do i wanna be a freaky classical music weirdo (soz) or what?! bt ive just been distracted by my tea and cant remeber my point! if i remember i'll post it!

misconception?! god loves the chav
Is it a crime for me to walk these streets? Dressed in these clothes and feeling these beats? Must you presume criminal things of me? Because the outside appearance is all you can see? (Open your eyes!) And is it wrong for me to enter God’s house With my cap and baggy jeans looking gangsta’d out? Must you presume criminal things of me? Because the outside appearance is all you can see? (Open your eyes!)
29th chapter lyrics got me thinking k u see a "chav" and what do u fink? does it matter what the outside looks like?! what they wear? the music there in to?! god stil loves them as much as he loves u! do u fink god cares about what u wear 2 church?! what do we assume criminals look like? what do we assume god looks like?!

bt imagin that ur wholle life! all the moments that you look back on and fink ARGH why did i do that?! or why didnt i do that?! wil al be infrount of you and the worlds No.1 man! -slightly embarrising and humiliating at first thought... bt then (writing as i think) god see's everything anyway so hes already seen it... so should we try to do things the way we want it to be re-played in heaven? so its not embarrising or humiliating the 1st time round... hmmm
