Worship

For sure I love our beautiful foreshore. I can't help but be in love with God and feel close to and at peace with Him when I am amongst such beauty and nature.


This is my Fathers world
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees
Of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought.
*****
Your love, O Lord, reaches to the Heavens, Your faithfullness to the skies. (Ps 36:5)


In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. (Prov 16:9 NIV)


Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thes 5:16-18)

The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. (Zeph 3:17 NIV)

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress. I will never be shaken. (Psalm 62:1-2 NIV)


Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. (Ps 95:6)

Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. (Ps 145:3 NIV)

Looking Forward!

Yay I'm excited! I'm looking forward to so many things.

I'm looking forward to having Andy and Amanda back, I'm looking forward to study leave and then summer and beautiful weather. I'm looking forward to next year (and rather scared). I'm looking forward to tonight and the bonfire and fireworks and all the church being there and all the youth and leaders and playing rugby with the boys before we have dinner then lighting the giant bonfire then setting off fireworks and laughing as boys like A & S & P & T all go running on the fire/edge embers at the end to see who can get in the closest/last the longest and laughing more as me and the other youth do amusing things too. I'm looking forward to taking lots of photos and to one day having a relationship like Christina and Jesse do (only better!)!

Today was such a great day and I hope tonight will top it off. God is so good to me it seems unfair but I'm not going to complain! I will try to work for what I can and to live for God and to have God as my goal at all times so His desires are in my heart. I love the feeling of being loved. Soon today will be a memory but God is a God of the now and will be with me in tomorrow, just like He's with me now. I'm looking forward. With God in my future I have nothing to fear.

Keep smiling, it suits you :) (Only 5 minutes then I can leave lol!)
