summer

so these past few weeks ive been back in the UK, attempting to prepare myself in so many ways for next year.

for something like leading, can we ever be prepared though? surely it is a job that you can only learn the basics of, and then reaarange the lessons to suit the people you are leading. untill you get to know them, surely there is only so much you can do?

life can suddenly take a turn. one minute you are in control of your journey, job and heart, and then the next minute, God moves in a deeper level and everything is thrown into confusion.

for example, my life has taken a huge turn all of a sudden. one second i was quite happily preparing for another year in canada, after some incredible training in manchester and a fab week with some friends from pais in leiceseter.
then my heart is overcome by a new friend. new feelings and new ideas wash around in my head. new feelings that i wasn't prepared for and was ready not to even feel.

but doesnt God work like that? In love, He comes in when we least expect it to rearrange our lives because He ultimately knows better. a whole lot better.

after all He is the creator right?

and that is such a mirror to His return. He is coming when we least expect it, but at the same time there are so many hints. Matthew and Luke have chapters dedicated to the return of Jesus, and the signs that we look out for. and the Jesus Himself says that He doesnt know the time or day He will return, only the Father knows. the Father who speaks time itself into creation. the Father who breathes soul and spirit into every beating heart and spirit. the Father who continues to love His children dispite everything they ever do to Him
