Message

Well as you know I previously wrote how I feel discontent and that I need to spend more time with God etc. Well last night our small group discussed this passage:

Ezekiel 47 1- 12

(I'm not gonna type out the whole passage but you can use the bible gateway link to view it if you like)

It talks about the river and as with most bible passages it has a meaning that makes sense from what you read but then a second meaning where God is trying to give us a message. In this its the river represents our relationship with God, how it starts as a small little trickle and then grows and grows. People and things all around us our nurtured also through the relationship we have with him. We had a prayer time afterwards to reflect on that and were asked to consider where we were on along the river and where did we want to be.

This is obviously really relevant to me as it is what I have been thinking, Where am I with God.
Anyway it was great cos I felt like God said:

'Come Deeper with me Emma, Don't be afraid'

How fantastic is that! so watch this space.

My friend also gave me a copy of Redmoon Rising which is a book written by Pete Greig from 24/7 prayer and I was debating on getting it for a while but I decided to buy Brian Heasley 'writing on the wall ' book first and I was gonna read that first but now I have both. Well actually Writing on the wall is on its way over from America, but I have redmoon rising now to take away with me.

24-7prayer

I go away tomorrow with the girlie's so I wont be Blogging for a while but will come back and keep you all updated about how much fun we had and may add a few photos.

Also the passage from previous blog wasn't the same one that came with my ring it was this

John 13 V13
34"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

Which is something that I should consider more as sometimes I can be quite quick to Judge.
