life is full...

...of excitement, adventure, smiles, dancing, prayer, Jesus and work!

I am loving actually showing that i'm full of the joy that I am filled with (from my Lord - and the middle name given to me by my parents)! I am the happiest that I have been for years right now! I'm working (albeit on placement) for an orgnaisation that I wholly believe in, with colleagues on fire for Jesus, with young people whose lives desparately need a touch from God and a helping hand with their current struggles. Having said this it's not easy! As well as being full of joy and brimming with happiness, I'm also rather stressed... Deadlines are still a-looming, I'm occasionally struggling with sleep, anxiety, family illness and adjustment to being on placement. I need to book a massage which I've failed to do so far - doh.

It's been 24-7 prayer week at church this week which has been amazing to be involved in yet again. I think it would be fabulous if we could do it all year round! It's such a priveledge to have a wonderful dance on a Saturday night, roll into the prayer room and talk to God! Braaaaap!!! I've done this with different friends for the past few years and it hasn't failed to be a blessing. In Ibiza it's one of the most powerful things I think we do swapping over the prayer and practical aspects of the street work - gives so much more power to what God's doing when we bring it before him regularly. My prayer is that I can continue this here in Norwich - my prayer is to pray more, to speak to my Dad more, to develop my relationship with Him. Wow - without him I can do nothing - I know this! He's brought me to the exact place I am right now and wants me to go on walking in His purposes for my life... How exciting that the creator of the universe created me and wants to guide the way I live my life to follow His purposes for me! I just want more of this understanding for others and how this works for them. I guess that means my prayer is for more of God's wisdom and heart, His vision for the people I come into contact with as friends and people I work with...



I can't close this post without mentioning how much I am loving my new stereo and it's bass - Annie Mac is currently blasting out some quality tunage for my aural pleasure :-D
