The Future

Last night a group of the youth from the church came back to my house to talk and be social. We played the coolest memory game. I have been told it is actually a drinking game. It is called 21, and basically you count to 21 in the group and who ever says 21 changes a number, and then must say the new word for that number. If you get a number wrong you must take a shot of something, we were not playing with drinks though. I am absoloutly terrible at the game cause i forget all the new names. Damn Gerald for trying to help me with his "Solid as a....", when the word was Stone not Rock.

Anyway we gave up on the game after we finished it and phil won. We began to have a chat about stuff and we got onto our futures and getting married. I know i must put God first and if he wants me to get married, then i will. But I cannot help thinking what if he does not want me to get marrried, cause i'd would love to get married and have children and all that. Obivously i must find me a girlfriend before i get married, unless i get me a mail-ordered bride like some Australian person that Phil and gerald knows. I some how do not see that happening. Its just i get bogged down looking at people i know and seeing them together being all happy and having recieved word that the person is the one for you. It make me want to have a relationship like that too. My friends keeping on pondering "who will Neil marry?"  and i do niot know.

I dunno, it is just a thing at the back of my head saying of i cannot wait to get married. I was told recently by a friend of mine that a relationship would not work unless you had a friendship that was working first, which is true and very good advice too.
Then say if you meet someone whom you do like and you have a good friendship and you have feelings for and you think  yeah maybe this could be the one for me, and you know that she does not have feelings for you outside of being friends but has feelings for somone else. What happens then?? Do you pray about the Two of you? or try to hide your feelings.?

I just would like to know what destiny God has put before me and if i am to get married or not. I still have not decided what i want to do with my life, will i go to college next year? will i travel?  I suppose i will have to be paitient and wait for God's word on it. (but could You please hurry up?)

Miracle in progress

Last night a group of people went to the McCarthys house to pray for Mary who is wheel-chair bound. I first felt a bit like i was intruding as it was my first time going there while the same usual people from our church go up there to pray every wednesday.

After we talked for a bit we were led in worship by rob. We began praying for mary, who could not move her legs or arms a few weeks ago. But now is swinging her legs and can move her hands. It is a miracle and is only getting better by the day.

It was amazing listening to peoples visions and pictures seen for Mary. Eilish saw Like a blockage in power lines which began to glow red, like there was a blockage. Then Gerald saw a larger vesion of the electricity cables in a big grid and the blockage was released and the glowing red flashed through the lines. This was so cool. Then Gerald saw marys wheelchair melting away and saw a disused wheelchair covered in cob-webs. This was so cool.

I also had a vision too. I have not had one in yonks, well i doubt too much and think what if i just thought that to be sure if it was a vision or not. I never mentioned mine cause i was not sure. Well what i saw was the cab of a truck. The truck would not start. You know the wy when a car needs to be push started it is hard until the wheel start to roll. Ther truck was been pushed but i didnt see anyone in the truck or pushing it. I saw the truck and got the sense it was being pushed and was not moving, then suddenly the wheels started to turn and the truck began to move. I thought that there was a release of pressure. 

After we finished praying Eilish said she had felt we had got into a flow in the prayer. I never realised in the past few weeks that this movement in marys body was actually a miracle until last  night when i put my hand under Marys put and she pushed down. I could feel the muscles in her foot. The doctors told the family that she cold not move the muscles cause of the problem. Doug read From Josuha i think and it was on about trusting in God work.

I never thought like that before that Mary healing has begn and that we just have to trust, I thought before that her healing would be when she would be walking.

A burning passion

Hello again!

On Mondays the youth group of the Church i go to do a bible study. Lately we have been focusing on baptism and the different types and how there is more than just water baptism, which i previously thought was the only one. This week we done the baptism into Christ, and we studied Romans Ch6 v1-11.  I found this study extremely enjoyable cause it states that by choosing Jesus as our Saviour that all our sin is wiped away and that we are a new man (or woman) . I heard that before but never actually thought about it. I really find this amazing just thinking about it.

In verse 11 and 12 it says " (11) In the same way, count yourself dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. (12) Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires"  
I think these two verses are very important, because even though that we are continually forgiven for all the mistakes we make that we still are tempted by all the evil in the world. The study this week sparked a passion for me to try harder to have a better fellowship with my God and show him the love and praise he deserbes.
Since monday i have been trying to do my very best to honour Him. I am not exactly the most grounded Christian. I cannot say that i spend as much time as i should reading the bible and praising God. However i have been trying harder of late.

Last night when i was reading my bible i was flicking throught the New  Testament and i opened Luke ch8: v 16 - 17, which reads " (16) No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. In stead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. (17) For there is nothing hidden that will be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open."
This passage really stood out to me like it had not before.  We should not be withholding or standing back, but be doing His work. I have been always lacking in the confidence to speak about God and all his work he has done for all of us. I do not like speaking before a crowd, and do not like being put on the spot. i just cannot do it cause i get to nervous, but i can talk one to one with people. From now on i want to let the passion for my saviour to be known and not leave it drift on by.This something that i felt i should share and hope you feel the same about it too.

Take care all.  In the words of mister Schwarzenegger "I'll BE BACK"
But for now, Goodnight

Another blogger is born

Hello everyone and anyone,

This is my very first post, i am a baby to the world of blogging. I plan to use this as just a way of typing my thoughts, daily experiences and various other things. Hopefully you will be a regular on the train ride of me and my tom-fool-ary. Another thing is i do not have the best spelling so forgive my mistakes.

Today i spent in my pjs, i still am wearing them. All that i got up to today was just surf the net and set up this very blog. I spent ages trying to edit it and stuff, so i hope ya like it. I still have to update more photos, which will be in due time as i still have a dial up connection so the uploading takes forever. I think that i shall be getting broadband soon enough.

Anyway i must depart to watch Top Gear, a new series is beginning tonight. Its such a great show. Well i am gonna depart, so until next time fellow bloggers take care and God Bless
