Week one of my new chapter....
Well its been a great week!!
I knew that if i trusted and let things go God wouldnt disappoint me and he hasnt!!!!
This week has been so amazing in so many ways:) I have been blessed with so much financially, spiritually and emotionally that it would be too much to put into words but wow what a week!
the bible says "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your path."
I am daily, constantly choosing to trust and follow ... its hard going but definitely worth it...He knows the plans , the blueprints of my life and knows me intimately he can read my mind because he created it, he knows my thoughts because he put my brain together, he knows my heart because he crafted it and i cant pretend to understansd it all but i do know its true because i have experienced his awesome touch on my life his provision and his love.
Here's to week 2 and more of his gracious love and blessing!
Lord help me to continually trust in you , to surrender all to you so that you can take control and direct my path for the better, Father i thank you because you are truly a father who wants the best for his children and your gifts are amazing!!!! Help me Lord to touch others with your love and share the amazing truth of you with them.
AMEN.

Its the start of something new!!!
Isaiah 43 v 18 and 19: "forget the former things , do not dwell on the past,
see I AM doing a new thing!now it springs up from the ground do yo not perceive it?
I AM making a way in the desert and streams in the waste land"
Today is the start of my new chapter i am putting away the former heart break and focusing on the amazing future God has promised for me, i am not pretending that it will be like turning off a switch... its much harder than that but here today i make a choice to focus on my future and not on my past to run with God and leave the impossible to the creator!!!
As for me and my household we WILL serve the Lord and we will look towards a bright future with him,
God wants the best for us all, we are his children and as a parent i want the best for mine also so today marks a point in my life which i pray will make a difference to us all.
AMEN.

oh dear!!!!!!!!!!!
so sorry was feeling very sorry for myself last week, get like that sometimes until i am reminded of how amazingly brilliant God is!!!
so this week has been alot better and God has continued to put people around me, provide for me and the kids and give me a peace and a joy, habbakuk talks about praising despite everything even when things go wrong :
habbakuk 3v17..." though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no foodthough there are no sheep in the pens and no cattle in the stalls...YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD! I WILL BE JOYFUL IN GOD MY SAVIOUR!!"
i have learnt that when i praise His name , thename above ALL names there is release and his joy fills my heart whatever i go through i leave it with him sometimes hard but neccessary! and he never fails me , he will make a way in the wilderness h will guard our hearts and minds if we let him!!!
the sovereign Lord is my stength!!!!
ciao x

light, peace and justice.....
the world we live in is a dark place with much turmoil and injustice we see it all around us in various forms and we cry out, why??
why are these things happening? how did the world we live in get into such a state it is sad and it is awful but hey let me tell you ... it gets worse before it gets better.
Jesus Christ is the answer He always has been , you see God never gives up on us, never turns his back on us and never breaks a promise .
the bible has everything written down just as it is now , if you read it it is like a newspaper for tomorrow writtten thousands of years ago God knew and He has the answer there for us as a way out! matthew 24 reads very similar to the daily newspaper as it speaks of wars and earthquakes and famine and yet says that Jesus Christ will return to this earth to put a stop to it.
Jesus is coming again soon according to the bible and i would strongly encourage you to get a copy and find out for yourself what is written read it as an academic piece of writing if thats all you see it as but i know God will reveal himself to you as you do.
the bible speaks of a political figure who will rise up and proclaim to be the answer for this world ....be on guard! dont go there!! stick with awesome God jesus christ he is the only way read it for yourself and dont let your time run out!
revelation 21 says:v4 "he will wipe away every tear from their eyes there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain for the old order of things has passed away..." how awesome it will be when he returns and takes us home...

passing on the torch...
hey!
its sooooo cooolllddddd!!!!!!!!!!! :(
not liking this autumnal weather at all dreding winter!
so ...did you ever watch a relay race? each member of the team running their heart out to pass the baton onto the next person to get to the end of the race?? life is like that -we are running a race and trying to reach the end and be a success but its deeper than that! if we wanna take our team with us our family and friends then we need to pass on the baton , or the torch , because what we have to share is actually a light , a lamp unto their feet. Gods word is vital to living a victorious life, a life according to the makers instructions, its our manual it has all the ways to deal with the hiccups and the instructions to get through everything we will face , but ...
i only know that now because i was told, faith filled people commited to God were willing to take the time to tell me this truth and i found out then for myself that God is real .Jesus Christ was a man who walked this earth and one day will return, i have no doubt in my mind.
It is now our turn, we that have had this truth given to us , to pass on the torch!!! or how will they ever know??
God doesnt expect us to make stuff up, to think of extravagant ways of getting it out there just tell the truth, the truth that was told to us !! - be faithful and pass it on. There is enough falseness in this world, confusion and religious jargon, its time we who have the truth spoke the truth and give clarity to a confused world. As we step out in His truth He will strengthen and guide and His word will not return void!!!!!!!!!
feel free to leave your comments... i am getting lonely!:(
God bless lynn x

ok, so its sunday and boy am i learning lots at the moment and i am writing it down partly so other people can read it but also because i dont want to forget it!
have learnt today about Godliness and how we need to train ourselves in the way we want to go just as an athlete commits his/ her life to the cause how much more should we commit our spiritual lives to train in godliness??
its so much more beneficial to physical training its about eternity!!!! 1 Timothy 4
also learning that God has prepared a table for me... psalm 23 and you know, he knows who sits at that table and what their heart is about (as well as mine) and with God theres nothing i cant face awesome!
also God is teaching me about humility and how he looks at the heart of man you know one day we will be with him face to face and he will show us a video of our lives will he be impressed??
will he see good character will he see a heart after him serving him, living with and for him??
lets not get side tracked with the things of this world cos it doesnt last and it wont last but... we will have eternity (hopefully, in heaven if we know Jesus) and theres so much to strive for for that! this life is a mere blink in time lets focus on the importance of our relationship with Christ Jesus and become more like him, become intimate with him and lets get the job done before he comes again!

JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT.....
we say that God see's the bigger picture... i had a picture today ...
our lives are like single pieces of a jigsaw, God alone has the box lid and knows how all these pieces fit together, which oneswork together and which dont some pieces were meant to fit , some meant to work with others , some meant to be corner pieces others to fit into the middle or up front...
whatever piece you are the jigsaw would be incomplete without you!!!!!!!!!!!!
you have your part to play....
be blessed! lynn x

you are the voice of hope
there is a song by that title written by and sung by Lara Martin of abundant life church bradford it talks of how God is the anchor of our souls, and when there seems to be no other way God makes things possible. amazing song!!!
after watching the news today, reading the papers and witnessing first hand things going on in society I can but sing praises to God because he is the hope of this world .... when are we going to realise that? there is only he that can do it everybody else has tried and failed... we have gone our own way for too long we need to get back to God!!!!
He so longs to help so longs to come and sort out this world but do we let him???
we need to pray and praise we need to welcome the king of kings and the lord of lords to have his way amongst his people!!! He will not force himself upon us but without him we are nothing! we need to open the door HE IS KNOCKING!!

so its saturday night theres nothing on tv and i am bored !!
its actually a day of prayer in america today 07.07.07 'the call'
praying for the nations that they will turn back to God in these last days...
the bible talks of the things that will lead up to the end times, we are living them now!!!
so exciting to see - yet also so scary... when we think about the urgency of the hour we are living in
and whether or not our families, friends etc will be ready too.
i pray that we will be ready and that God will return to a bride that is prepared, but is there anymore we can be doing??
watching the things going on in jerusalem is exciting ( despite the obvious hardship and war) things are being prepared the golden gate etc...and so many things are written in the bible.... all those years ago when the bible was written God included these things in is word for us to see and know his return was immonent, he has given us warning to get ready i pray we will take heed and get ready!
people get ready Jesus is coming is a song inspired by the holy spirit sung at the IHOP church in kansas and yet is so relevant for us today more info at; www.ihop.com
i pray even if you think i am mad that you will read some of the bible and check it out for yourself! so that you too can be ready valuable books would be: isaiah, daniel, and revelation.
God Bless xxx

Wow this week must be one of the hardest i have faced in a long time!!!
things seem to be flying at me from everywhere!!
work, home and even friends ... but one thing remains firm.... God is there and He is sticking closer than a brother and carrying me through and so glad he is... so many times of late i have wanted to just give up- get under the duvet and never come out( , if i am honest, )but God gives me the strength to get up each morning and face the day and brings me through the other side!
And then he sends the light at the end of the tunnel and things i have been praying for pop up when i am least expecting them...amazing God!:)
you know there is a saying 'these things are sent to try'... well these things are certainly sent to strengthen!! and build faith, and to teach us and build our wisdom!
i am learning not to resent the bad days but to ask what are you teaching me God , what can i learn throught this, how can me going through this help somebody else????
there is a reason... it may not be clear to us but He alone see's the bigger picture, He alone is the fountain of all knowledge!!
who are we to even attempt to fathom it all out?
our tiny, punny brains are no match for the awesome God who creates heaven and earth so i guess what i am saying is.... it comes down to trust! and trusting him in the hard times to know he knows best and see's the end result even before we reach the end.

take the world but give me Jesus ....
yes thats right ........ but the bible does say Jesus is the way , the truth and the life so that'll do for me!!!!!!!!
sounds like a recipe for a grt life and lets face it who else can you honestly, totally trust?
so isnt it worth giving Jesus a try???
what else can be as valuable, as precious as a relationship with the author , creator and finisher of our lives? He who knows all things and has the answers to all of life's questions? if you find anything ... let me know .... but i bet you dont!!!

ever done a jigsaw only to find the last piece is missing?
its soooo frustrating isnt it ??!!
so what do you do ...put the jigsaw back in the cupboard to try again another day?
let others get on with it and let them find out for themselves? only for them to be frustrated too?
or do you just simply throw away the jigsaw.... ever thought about looking for the missing piece?
oh you might have to really search!
those pieces get everywhere once i found a piece in my hand bag weeks after loosing it...how? i dont know but there it was!
life can feel frustrating at times, like there is a piece missing... there is!
have you searched for it?
you see i have and i have found it, and am so glad i didnt just throw away the rest of the puzzle, thats why i am telling others and then hopefully i can relieve their frustration too...
shall i tell you then...........................................?
Jesus, yes JESUS! He IS the missing piece of your life and trust me you will never feel complete without Him!
and where can you find him?
in the quiet still place of a prayer. Reach out and he will meet you!
God bless lynn xxxx

hi guys i know you out there... just shy!! :)
well at this very moment am watching thousands of young people in jerusalem praying and worshipping for this world and for God to come in his power and sort out this world, have just been reading about bombs and cars being driven into airports on fire... the world is going mad! you know all we need is love the perfect love of God to unite us and all these things will stop!, but so many ppl are blinded to Jesus and follow other gods and get confused! they fight in Gods name but arent really fighting for him at all- its religion they fight for... all He wants is relationship!!!!
He will return to the earth and soon!! it clearly says in the bible that Jesus will come again you know it says 80 times that Jesus would come for a first time as a baby to be saviour of our world and sacrifice himself for us but did you know... there are over 100 sections devoted to his second coming??!!!! we need to wake up and get to grips with this He is coming!!!!
will he find you ready, will he find you waiting for him or will he not recognise you as his?

just a thought...
Noah told his people about God and the plan God had told him, He told them there was a way out ... the ark... everyone laughed at him, thought he was crazy, he even had ridicule from him family!
noone believed him and the result???
alot of people lost their lives!
today jesus has a plan- he has accomplished the main part... he died for our sin, he defeated death and he rose again!, providing a way whereby we can go to be with the father in heaven... but... when we try to tell people we get laughed at, ridiculed and people think we are crazy...
He is coming again!!! and it is our responsibility to ensure our families dont get caught in the flood ( so to speak) who cares if we get laughed at??? we need to persevere, like Noah and get our families to safety... in relationship with Jesus Christ _ the only way!
so keep going and keep telling people about Jesus for the reward far out weighs a bitof name calling and if you are one of the name callers , if you think I am crazy just think about it Noah was proven right maybe, just ,maybe I will be too where do you want to be on the boat or drowning on the outside??
make your decision for he says" I am coming soon!!!"

Father's day
so it was fathers day yesterday and i am one of those really fortunate people that has an incredible dad here who supports and looks out for me but you know some people arent that lucky, or their dad has left or maybe even died :(
but there is one who can be and wants to be father to everyone for it is from him we were created, we are made in his image he is abba father God the one and only true God and He surely deserves some thought around fathers day?!
you see i am fortunate that i have my biological earthly father who is amazing and also my dad in heaven who is awesome father God.
My dad here on earth makes plans for me, cares for me , provides for me in the limitations of humanity ... he does his very best but we are only human!
Father God is ... God!! with all the resources, authority and power at his finger tips to do whatever he wants, he knows the plans for our lives, picks us up when we fall and ultimately provided a way for us when there was no way and he is coming for us , so we can have eternity with him in heaven how awesome!!!!!!!
So happy fathers day daddy! xx

Do you ever wear a mask?
No i dont mean at fancy dress parties i mean daily, in your normal day to day life ??
Everybody tries to hide things away from others... people say hi how are you? we say fine! but are we ??
does your best friend , your partner, even your parent know you completely? without anything with held?
Well there is one who does know you completely- so well that he knows things you dont even know yet! read psalm139 he knows everything about you, so there is no point in even attempting to put on a mask with him and how refreshing, how relieving that there is someone who knows us that well yet still loves us?!
Isnt it tiring wearing a mask? keeping up with the pretence and pretending all is well with the world when really things are tough, God knows and God cares!
He says to cast all your cares onto him for he cares for you, he knows it all anyway so let him help and open your heart to him he will come when he is invited and he will meet with you. dont hide anymore live life to the full!

so lewis has gone who will be joseph??
at the moment the last two are singing Jesus Christ Superstar and the line in the song goes "who are you what have you sacrificed"- the answer is everything, he sacrificed absolutely everything to give us a hope and a future
Jesus Christ is the only way, the only truth and the only life!
he is the only way to the father - the bible says watch out for in the last daysbefore jesus returns there will be many trying to deceive you trying to blind you of these truths blur the way to heaven and indeed many cults, religions have rised up please dont be fooled.... there is ONLY ONE WAY - JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so a few of us decided it was timewe got closer to God and intercede for our church, our families , the local area and stuff last night was the first meeting, it was at mt house and will probably run weekly in the beginning. It says in the bible that where 2 or 3 gather together He will be in the midst and we certainly felt the presence of God here last night! we began just praising him and seeking him and prayed for things as they came to us God really led us and at times i sat still with goosebumps on my arms because the presence of God was so real!!
I know in my heart that God is doing a new thing he is coming back so soon and is calling his bride to be ready! we need to seek him with every bit of us , be devoted and pray for others I know that he will use this group and take us on adding to our numbers and we will see answers to our prayers i will keep you posted!
if you happen to be one of those sceptical people ...the bible says taste and see that the Lord is good all i am asking is that you give him a go he will prove himself to you in ways you could never imagine he is not a character in a fairytale he is real and you are missing out! keep checking in for updates so you can see what he is doing in our group and in our lives.
so on a lighter note who will be joseph?? have you been watching?
i am so undecided about who it should be they all good but i think keith will get it ... watch this space 2 hrs to go !!
any dr who fans out there?? my son is i think the number 1 fan he knows soooooo much about dr who and not just this dr but going back yrs and he is only 6!! he loves it! we have to watch every week and then some, have to say tho last weeks episode was grt one of the best i have seen!
well gonna go get a cup of tea ready before it starts so signing off for now take care you and remember Jesus loves you ! Give him a try you wont regret it!
bye for nowxx

hello!:) hows it going ?? I am soooo excited and smiley atm and probably irritating ppl I am around but I cant help it God is awesome!!!!!!!!!
eveything just seems to be clicking into place at the moment and its grt! dont get me wrong there are still major things in my life that i want to see sorted but God is dealing bit by bit with all the things that i have prayed about and all the things he has promised me over the years and its exciting cos God aint finished yet and... the best is yet to come!!!!!!!!!!
A song we sing in church says: bigger than the air i breathe, deeper than the ocean deep , higher than the stars above -You are! In the heavens ,on the earth there is no one like you God and these words are not enough to tell of who you are- who can know the mind of God , who can understand your ways? and these words are not enough to tell of your great name.
thats my God ...awesome, amazing, incedible and yet interested in me!!!!!!!!!!!interested in whats going on in my life and when i am happy or sad, he knows when i am laughing or crying and he knows the best way to make it right! God you are soooo good!!!

i actually dont know what to write about as i start this- i have sooo many things buzzing around in my head, some good, some amazing! and some i would rather just forget but where and what do i write here??...
Every day God reminds me that He alone is the only truly trust worthy person we have completely in love with us and wanting only what is best for us, just like a parent wants good things for their children... He only wants the best for us and holds it in his hand, all he wants is for us to reach out and grab it whole heartedly. He alone is so completely unselfish that he cares for us without ceasing and wants us to be happy, safe and he sacrificed everything for us so that we could have a great life!
People being human can and do let us down and lets be honest we let people down, ok we might not mean to but we do cos we are human! with thoughts for ourselves and its natural - but God he never lets us down he completely knows the absolute best for us and strives for us to get it!
God is 'the friend that sticks closer than a brother 'and thank God for that ! friends are precious and i praise God for all of my friends they truly are so special to me but thank you Lord for loving me and sticking close. I couldnt have got through times in my life without Jesus by my side things people ( even my closest friends ) dont even know about He knows and he cares really he does !!
please , please give jesus a try he wont barge into your life he needs an invitation! he doesnt push you he is a true gentleman" ask and you will receive seek and you will find knock and the door will be opened to you for the love of the lord has no end!!"

Our God is an awesome God!! still finding new things about him after all these years - have been studying psalm139 this week God loves us so much you know? He really does, He knows us inside out and back to front he takes time to know us and care for us as individuals- why would he bother? the answer ... he loves us! he holds the blue prints of our lives it says " you knit me together in my mothers womb... all my days were ordained and written in your book before i was born"
He is the designer, creator and author of our lives and yet we often go through life not even consulting him ... silly isnt it?!
surely if we consult manuals and instructions through daily life with things we use , things thaat have themselves been designed and created then we should have the sense to do the same with our lives!!
lets get back to the plans he has for us for they are amazing plans sent "to prosper us and not to harm" and remember he does know best!!

care
speaking to friends tonight about care and what life is like at the moment ... sometimes life can be so hectic that we find it difficult to care for people or even recognise that people need a bit of care!
how wrong is that??!! life is too busy too fast paced and surely our priorities are misplaced!
this is not where our focus should be we should be focusing on the eternal, the life after all this we are only passing through and we need so much to care for those around us bring them to Jesus and care for each other not strive for material things the bible says you will receive your treasure in heaven this life is so short compared with what we can / will have with Jesus so why do we put that to one side while we are here?? it doesnt make sense! we are being blinded by the things of this world , our focus is shifted from whats really important and people are given all sorts of things to believe in to distract from the truth .... its time we cared !!!!! its time we took the time!!!! its time to make a difference!!!!!!
enough ranting am preaching to myself too here i know there is so much i can do and must do before Jesus returns or i go to be with him practical things as well as spiritual things mean so much to people and they will see a difference in us!
God cares for us so much and expects us to care for others do we care for our friends? our family? our school mates? our work colleagues? neighbours? what about the people in the street? and if we dont who will............................ scary thought!!
did you hear the story about the person on the beach who stood throwing the star fish back in to the ocean after they had been left on the sand ? so many star fish and one person making a difference to each ones life ok they might not have reached all in time but they had a go and madethe differencefor the one if everyone determined to do that a world would be saved!

So I went to see DELIRIOUS yesterday at Alton Towers with some people from church, what a grt day and an amazing concert! Delirious were awesome and so much opportunity to praise God as well as enjoy the great music, www.delirious.co.uk check them out.... was so nice to get away from it all for a day and chill, so relaxing and even though i never went on many rides( mainly because i am a chicken!) i had a great time just spending time with people and getting to know them.
Church this morning was great too God was definitely there! such a powerful time of worship, and a grt sermon(as usual!) so on the whole feeling pretty blessed at the moment, whats going on with you??
I hardly know what to write about next....trying to think what i have been up to, mainly work and writing assignments really and looking after the kids. oh there is one now...brb...

so hi how you doing? hope you are having a tremendous week i have just got back from church and am too hyper to go to bed so thought i would write an update instead!
I know i say this often but in my opinion i can never say it enough ...God is sooooo amazing!!! my week dont get me wrong hasnt been a bed of roses its been quite up and down but looking back over it He has been there every step of it and there is a verse in the bible that; 'there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother'- He certainly does!!He is faithful, He is trustworthy and He is dependable who do you know that you can totally depend on all the time?? Jesus is the only one cos the rest of us are human and can be selfish and He is perfect, I have been a Christian now for 16 yrs and you know what??... he still overwhelms me with his love, his compassion, his grace and i dont think i will ever come close to fathoming him out, i just know that i cant wait to get to heaven and see him face to face how awesome!!!!!!
God tells us' he came so we could have life and have it to the full', before i was a christian i went to clubs and i drank i did all sorts of things but nothing compares to the joy , the peace and the life you can have if you walk with Jesus. Imagine a relationship with the king of kings , the lord of lords the true son of God he wants a relationship with each one of us!!! why?? i dont know but he does and if you open yourself up to him he will come close to you and never leave you!
I hope you know this truth either now or in the future because if not you truly are missing out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does this sound familiar?
you know Jesus died on the cross but...he didnt stay there! he rose again !...why? because he defeated death and he is coming back to this earth to sort it out and take all those who love him to be with him in heaven.. does this sound familiar?
nation will fight against nation,
ruler will fight ruler,
famines,
earthquakes will occur in various places....??
Jesus said these will be signs of his coming again, in matthew 24, can we really afford to waste time?? do you know him?? because no one comes to the father except through him so get your relationship right with jesus and dont think you have all the time in the world because no one knows the day or the hour!
Jesus says that before he comes all over the world the gospel will be preached- its happening ! what will you do with it?
to find out more.....
www.god.tv or a local church, dont give in to pride find out for yourself and make yourown mind up because on that day only you will stand before him!

so here i am a friday night and in alone AGAIN! so i thought i would share a few things that have gone on recently... God is still amazing me all the time- every day i learn new and exciting things about him, we can never get to the end of him he is soooo amazing!
i have to keep remembering that he is sooo awesome we can never fathom him out and he see's and knows all things.... so when i get down cos nothing seems to be happening i have to keep in my head and my heart! that he knows the plan the blueprint of my life, he see's the bigger picture!!i dont know how, and why and when even who.... but he does! all i have to do is trust him because he loves me and wont let me come to harm.
can you imagine sitting at the feet of Jesus how many questions would you ask! well you can do that even now sit at his feet and pray , talk to him and know that he will answer you he will be found by those who seek him!

name above all names!!!!!
This is kinda turning into a journal for me so sorry if you are bored but i am the kind of person who needs to write things down. I am bored this week all my friends are away on holiday and its lonely! i hate sitting in on my own- too much time to think! and there is never anything good on tv to watch! hey ho , its back to work next week so i will be busy again:)
I am reminded of a christian song that is a praise song to God in it it says:"Name above all names, You are worthy of all praise" and is talking of Jesus He is the name above all names... think about that for a minute above all other names like...cancer, disease, even death if we believe and trust Him. He already beat death and came back from the dead so what else can stand against him?!!!
amazing eh?!
He truly is worthy of everything we can bring him. And if we do praise his name , lift him high above our situations we will see change and experience healing, believe me i have seen this.

let it snow, let it snow, .let it snow!!
wow! woke up this morning to a blanket of snow, amazing:) everywhere covered in a beautiful white blanket looking untouched and without blemish... until we all start rushing about and spoiling it!
The world looks peaceful covered in snow, calm - you would never know what was happening around the world by peering out at the snow covered scenes, but it does go on- and the answer??? the ONLY answer is Jesus Chrst, who can make our lives as pure and as white as the snow covered scene we see today, but it can last for eternity.

what is a normal day?!
so today has been a normal day as far as normal goes! but what is normal anyway? life is so tiring, days seem to get shorter but workload seems to get bigger and then there is everything we do when we get home :) everything is so fast paced, so p.c, so much change and no time to adapt -
crazy isnt it? God says" come to me all you who are weary and i will give you rest" if someone offered you a day at a spa you would take it,a free holiday or a week off work fully paid... of course you would! God offers us a life with him yet what do we do? do we take him up on it, or hesitate, or simply choose to ignore the offer? how foolish can we be!!!
why not give him a try, he might just be the thing you have been searching for! surely he knows whats best for us i mean come on... he created us, created the earth and see's the bigger picture who are we to argue?

Have been at church today, God is amazing, He knows just what you need when you need it!
we had a guest speaker today he spoke about the plans God has for us there is a verse in the bible that says "I know the plans i have for you , plans to prosper you and not to harm to give you a hope and a future"God does have plans for us and sometimes life can get in the way but if we just come to God he will make a way where there seems no way! Did you know God never breaks a promise and he has no favourites so all of the promises in the bible were written for you as much as me, as much as moses! awsome!!!! My year has been awful but i know that he has something amazing waiting for me to collect at the end of it all and what doesnt kill me will make me stronger and as he has a future for me he aint gonna let it kill me!!:)
