Easter

I have over the last 2 weeks found my way again, took a bit of a diversion but feel that over easter weekend I have been grounded again as my faith feel strong again. I watched the passion on BBC one over easter and the realisation of what Jesus did for me just hit me. ( I was disappointed with some of the story thouh the BBC didnt quite get all the facts right)

I am not going to Spring Harvest as I mentioned but it all works out good because I can go to work this week. Then next weekend my Vicar retires and its also my friends birthday so if I'd have gone I would have missed this. Also the next talk from my CEO is this Thursday which I would have missed if I'd have been away but now I can go so thats all good.

I have had a lovely weekend, going on our church's 'walk of witness' and singing to the shoppers at Asda, spending time with my mum, going to my friends for her birthday, spending time with my boyfriends mum and then later today I think we are going for a nice walk and then I am going a nice leg of lamb for dinner. NICE!!

Church at work

Well I went to the Religious talk at work on Thursday, quite enjoyed it. My CEO had alot of really good arguements for being a Christian, loads I hadnt heard before. Quite often as a christian you hear christians using the same examples when trying to talk about their faith to non christians. But this guy used new ones:
Think about DNA and how complex it is and how scientist are still trying to recreate it and have only really managed basic stuff. Is it too hard to think that a GOD my have done this and not science?
Then he talked about the stars and how earth is only possible due to the right mix of larger and smaller stars in the universe. If this wasnt exatly right then we wouldnt exist, if we tried to recreate the propbability of this happening then you would have to stack 2p on top of one another from all the different contenants to the moon and mark one with a red dot and ask someone to find it. Is it too hard to believe that this could of just happened with odd like that or could it be GOD?
Finally with the fact that alot of these scientific explainations to how earth started still havent yet been proven, people who choose to believe this scientific ideas are putting their faith in these explainations. FAITH!! just the same as a christian person puts there faith in the fact that God exsists and that the Bible is true.
You could see it really made the people who had attend were really thinking about what he had said and could see what he said made sense, whether in time any of them will believe it, we'll see.
But that started me thinking how great it would be if we started a church at work!! far thinking but could happen, maybe?

Not going Spring Harvest now. Well not for the whole thing, I have come up with a solution. Someone has stepped in and took my place which means I dont have to miss work. I have also found out that my friends are still gonna be there on Sat and Sun, so I am thinking that I could go at the weekend and stay in my mums caravan for free and just pay my entry fee. This suits all situations, means I dont miss work, can still go to Spring Harvest and dont have to spend money I havent got on a week of being there. God works good!

Spring Harvest VS Work

Well I'm due to go to Spring Harvest on Easter Monday til Friday and I'm not sure now whether I want to go. I have as you know just started a new job and there is really alot going on at the mo and I am really part of it all. I feel at the minute that I should not go spring harvest and stay at work that week as there will be alot that I wont understand when I get back as I will have missed a week at work. The problem I have is that theres no one to take my place and I cant afford to loose £165 its cost me to go. My friends I'm going with have been before and feel that I should still go as they tell me its life changing but I really feel I would now prefer to stay at work that week. I have prayed about it and will continue to do so, I know I should go but why go if you cant be arsed to go and you would prefer to go to work, will it be so life changing if I dont really want to be there?

Church

Well I had a meeting with my works CEO and we discussed these talks that he has planned. The first one is on 13th March so thats next week, it would be great if there was a big turn out, so if anyone feels like praying then please pray that we get people turn up that we may start up an on going small group which is where I think I may be involved.

I went to the ladies lunch today that we run at church every quarter. I have been going to my church for about 4 or 5 years now and I have never managed to get to one of the lunches, so I was determined to go this time. I took my mum as well so it was nice to go together, I think we'll go to the next one in june too.
