    Have you felt God leading you up to this point?

    Yes He has definitely led me to where I am now! I agree with many other comments, in my experience I have had to step out in faith and trust Him. When I first went to university, I had a set plan in my mind of what I wanted to do. The short version is that I found it very difficult to follow...

    what is the difference between praise and worship

    It's not necessary to close your eyes but I find that doing that helps me to focus in on God better as it removes the distractions of the world around me.

    24-7 Prayer Room

    Lord I come before with many thoughts and burdens on my heart as You have spoken to me through Pastor Don this weekend. Help me to put You as number 1 in my life and KEEP You there. I feel like the Israelites... I just keep on making the same mistakes. Please wash me clean with Your blood...

    What's your latest insight about God?

    I think we can all testify to that! lol :) I've realised lately just what it means through the Old Testament that God is a 'jealous' God. I think He's jealous of where I'm spending my time cos it's not really with Him... time to fix that!

    Thoughts ...

    I am trying to get my thoughts in order as I have been given much to think about this week from a guest speaker in our church. One thing is clear... I need to prioritise time with God in my days. I'm not doing a very good job of that at the moment and then I wonder why I'm struggling with some...

    Words of Encouragement and Thoughts (4)

    "Indescribable" by Chris Tomlin From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea Creation's revealing Your majesty From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring Every creature unique in the song that it sings All exclaiming Indescribable, uncontainable, You placed the stars...

    Does Gentlemen mean anything today?

    I personally really love it when men open doors for me, allow me to go first and pull out my chair. Its nice and it makes me feel special :)

    Does Gentlemen mean anything today?

    It certainly means something to me! It saddens me that it seems that gentlemanly behaviour is fading out. I personally love a gentleman!

    What do you live for?

    Well I TRY to live for God. I know I don't always do a great job, but I guess that's the beauty of mercy and unconditional love. As part of that, I also live for my students. I'm a year 1/2 teacher and I love all of them! Some of them are more challenging than others, but I get to show them...

    Dating and Boundaries

    I'd say be careful. All those things are okay in moderation and I know that from my own personal experiences it also depends on the time of day and your mood. I would say that being alone late at night while you're tired is a bad idea because that's when you're more likely to make poor decisions...

    Christian Music That Inspires

    I really love a lot of the Passion music (Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Kristian Stanfill, Kari Jobe) My favourite worship song (I listen to a LOT of worship artists) at the moment though is You Are by Mark Roach. I just love it!
