Well it's Monday which means my boyfriend is coming home from his jollies will the lads. Looking forward to it, Part of me was looking forward to the time on my own as when he is not around I tend to spend a bit more time with God, reading my bible or praying etc so that side of it was really good. And this isn't my boyfriends fault I just find when he's not around I have more spare time to spend with God. but I have really missed him as well, arrhh I hear you all say or YUK! either way I don't care I just cant wait to see him and give him big cuddles and kisses.
Went to cathedral last night instead of going church in the morning. They do a service at the local cathedral called 'cathedral praise' on a Sunday evening which is open to people from other Church's. Its great cos its on in the evening so I fancied a lay in yesterday so I went their instead of my own church. Two of my friends came with me and then we went to a bar round the corner afterwards. During the service John Irvin asked whether anyone had anything to share from the alpha holy spirit day and he said he felt someone had something to share. I thought is he talking about me? so I just sat there and didn't say anything and then the moment passed and no one shared their experiences. So I later caught his attention and ended up sharing with the congregation my experiences.
I remembered also that when it came prayer time on the holy spirit day I was very nervous about praying for the guests, as I pray for people normally but not for them to receive the holy spirit. So I said a quick prayer in my head and asked God for some help. the next minute John came over and said he felt God compelling him to pray with me and this guest. Afterwards I realised God had answered me then too. He had provided John as support for me when I was praying. So I shared that and also shared about the message God had given me for this other guest. I felt a bit nervous getting up in front of all these people at the cathedral but afterwards realised that its a good thing because sharing these experiences of God working in your life can really encourage others.
My friend text me today as well and the message was really nice, she has been sharing stuff with me at the moment and she asked for prayer last night at the cathedral. She shared with me the issue and I gave her my advise and opinion etc. Today's message says 'Praying God will bless you tons today babe! Thanks for being such a special and understanding friend. I thank God for you. Be encouraged today' how nice of her, I do have a lovely friend in her.
