Sunday, August 12, 2007 - Surprised

Surprised

God. Changes. Things.

He shakes up the stagnant, breathes life into the stale, blows wind on the still plains, shouts into the silent void.

He. Changes. Things.

Tonight I feel changed. Renewed. Faithful. Destined.

I feel surprised by this, like a sudden romance. Caught off guard by feelings I already knew, but had forgotten about. And it's strange. I didn't ask for it. I wasn't pleading for a revival, though God knew my barren land needed one. He came in and stole my heart. Revived me. An awakening.

A thief who stole my heart, but left me with such hope, such purpose, such a burning sense of absolute faith. I feel changed.

But then, I am changed, for behold the old has passed away and a new thing has come. I am not my own, I am not alone, I am not who I once was, but a new creation.

We understand so little.. Ju x x x

Sunday, March 04, 2007 - Run run run

Run run run

Bertie and I have started jogging. Or is it yogging? Maybe it's a silent j. Anyhow, its strange how once you have the tools, you just want to do the job. I went out and bought these 'running shoes' ( I thought trainers we just for fashion ) they are so light and springy and just owning them made me want to be out sprinting around. Last night we yogged a few miles. I had to walk some, I am ever so out of shape. We went again tonight but it was tipping it down with rain so we only went as far as the bottom of our road.

Last night we ran along the beach, I was enjoying His beautiful creation. He truly is a wonderful God. I am keen to run as I want an activity to share with my husband, who can run for a year and not lose his breath. I also want to take care of my body, which I haven't done so much before, as it is a living temple for the Most High God.

Now I have the tools, the shoes, I just want to run run run. And this is overflowing into other areas of my life. I know I have the tools to run the race for Christ and be a radical Christian. We all have the tools, The Holy Spirit, His word, faith and time. We have the tools to live lives that have eternal consequences. We can speak into the lives of the lost, give shelter to the needy, feed the starving and heal the sick, by the power of the Blood.

I want to be known for integrity. I also want to be known for being ruthless and one who will not compromise. I want to be radical with my faith and love others as He has loved me. I want to take in the homeless and bless them and love them. I want to throw caution to the wind, the wisdom of this world that says not to trust, not to take risks, not to be vulnerable. I want to be like Jesus. Let people into my home, my heart and know that they may well let me down, steal or abuse, but love them none the less. I want to be like the one that my heart loves.

He loves me so much, it makes my breath catch in my throat. He loves me, adores me. He gives me purpose, hope, help, life, faith, health, joy, peace that passes all understanding.

He has given me the tools to run for Him and I want to stand unashamed before His throne knowing that I did not compromise, that I ran and ran and ran and that I lived radically for Him who loves and gave His life for me.

Come run with me..

Wednesday, February 14, 2007 - Valentines day

Valentines Day 

Current mood:  loved

Today has been simply wonderful so far, the best (non wedding) day of my life, thank you Bertie!

I got back from work and Bertie had taped a valentines card to our front gate, and one on the front door, and one on our living room door! I went in to find Barry White playing and the most beautiful bouquet of tulip's, berries, and oh, just other beautiful gorgeous flowers. Then I had another card and gift, some bad boy hair straigteners. And then he had saved a game of bubbles on my mac with one colour left so I could clear the screen!

Then we watched the notebook and I wailed like a baby and even Bertie was 'damp'. Now he is finishing off our tea, creamed spinach, steak and buttery mash.

And I have just popped a bottle of Veuve Cliquot, so I shall leave you to enjoy my bubbly and my fabulous husband.

What a day to remember He who is love, and He by whom we are able to love.

I love you Jesus

Saturday, September 16, 2006 - Anticipation

Anticipation 

Current mood:  contemplative

Today is my mum's birthday. Rob and I have made her a lemon drizzle cake with lemon mascarpone cheese. Me, mum and dad went to the pictures to see 'Little Miss Sunshine'. It was not very hollywood and really quite funny.

On Thursday Rob and I are having our pictures done, as part of our wedding photo package. And on wednesday Rob is going shopping to buy me a scooter. Then of course there is my birthday, the wedding, the honeymoon and moving house. Suffice to say I am excited and there is a lot of change ahead. Much anticipation for a new season of our lives.

John is in the States and though we miss him and anticipate his return, we are so excited for him and the opportunities ahead of him. And its all just so new. Rob's sister moved out on Wednesday, John's sister on Friday. Its all so new and wonderful. And uncertain.

Isn't that great?

Certain uncertainty.

Well dear friends, hope you are all enjoying the good things in your lives and that the Joy of the Lord is upholding you whatever you are doing and wherever you are headed.

I am going to mull over the weekend papers and maybe have some more coffee out of the deco style coffee machine I got mum.

Oh and for the record, an open invitation. Rob and I will be living in the centre of Brighton in a lovely peaceful 1830's flat. Minutes from the Laines, the beach, the restaurants and the shops. So if any of you pass by our way and fancy a visit, just holler. We would love to have you.
