Electromagnets (and Ark Building)

This is one of many subjects in which I have an extremely limited knowledge.

The only thing I do know is that as the flow of electricity is increased the stronger the pull of the magnet becomes.

Right now it feels that God is on the move with me. It's almost as if there is a kind of electromagnet inside me and God is increasing the flow of electricity.

As a result of this I'm coming into contact with people and seeing opportunities and having ideas that all appear to be fitting together. It's exciting because God is controlling it.

When God is at work, we need to be ready.

God told Noah to build the Ark. He had to get ready before the flood came.

When there is a flood of the Spirit of God coming we need to get ourselves ready, else we will be washed away!

Rubbish

The other week I was walking to school with Abby when a dustbin lorry drove past. It was a warm day with hardly any breeze and the stench from the rubbish inside the lorry hung in the air. It was awful.

It got me thinking about how unbearable it must be for the thousands upon thousands (possibly millions) of people who live off the things they can scavenge from the enormous rubbish heaps around the world.

Most of us don't really relish the job of taking the rubbish outside, even when it's tied up in a plastic bag and then gets put in a big plastic bin with wheels. We have it easy by comparison, very easy.

What's my point? I don't know really, it just made me more aware of that very stark and very smelly contrast. I guess I need to remember to be more thankful for my own situation and remember to pray more for those whose situation is lot worse than mine.

Coming soon...

...blog posts about Rubbish, Rest, Electro-Magnets, Ark Building, and Prince Caspian!

In the meantime here is a trustworthy saying:

If we died with him,
    we will also live with him;
if we endure,
    we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
    he will also disown us;
if we are faithless,
    he will remain faithful,
    for he cannot disown himself.

2 Timothy 2:11-13

I told you the weeds are big!

My garden

This post would probably be more accurate if it had the title 'My jungle'.

It's amazing how quickly the garden becomes over grown with weeds. They start off small and I think that it looks a bit untidy and I should probably get on and sort it out...tomorrow.

A couple of weeks later the weeds are looking pretty big. It's going to take a fair bit of time to get that lot sorted and I'm just too busy.

Still more time passes. It's a jungle out there. Enough is enough. It's time to get things back in order and stay in control.

Don't put off today what you can leave until tomorrow!

Ghana update

Only two months to go until I get to experience house building Ghana-style!

Well over half of the money I need for the trip has come in, so praise God for that!

Please continue to pray that the rest of the money will be provided, and that I will be aware and responsive to God's leading as He prepares me for this trip.

Thank you.
