So as some of you know, I live in a christian bookshop.
so I guess I see a lot of things about christian culture that disturb me a little. But I;m not gonna crack on about that...
I guess I never understood alot of christian culture as a teenager because on the IoW, no-one is into it.
One of the things I;ve been discovering lately has been through the teaching of the conference I went to in Australia when I was out there - When Heaven Invades Earth. And it was this - God wants to hear the desires of our hearts. As christians we stand around waiting to hear from God giving us the next direction, but what God actually wants is to hear the desires of our hearts!
I was praying about this and it caught my attention that if not dealt with carefully, this concept could be quite a dangerous one because we can put all sorts of things down as desires of our hearts, pray them out and then possibly do some damage to ourselves by praying the wrong things...
Largely though, I agree!! God wants to hear what we as a generation want to see him do! There are so many things that we want to do that have to some degree already been carried out, so we need God;s wisdom and creativity to define what it is that we are about...you get me?
The desires of my heart?...you'll have to get to know me better before you squeeze that one out of me...
On another note...I really miss Australia!
Why? Because it's different? Because I had an awesome time there? Who knows...but I miss the lil city my sis is livin' in.I miss the town and the big plaza shopping mall place.I miss Kingswood station. I miss Penrith Library. I miss cheap Pizza's. I miss the salad bar and the girl who smiles at you when you walk past. I miss the intesity of the sun.I miss hearing the sea.
I guess I need to get some photos up here so the few that read this can see what I saw. So many things that words cannot describe.
Will get pics up when I can...
