jesus :: cube :: us

Fun.

Being in third year is not fun work load wise...at all.

But the ONE night we went into the cube last term was lots of fun.

I cannot comment for the rest of the motley crew (Naomi, Fiona, Holly, Karen, Nathan, Quintin) but I was elated to be back at the wonderful night of Fat Poppadaddys (www.fatpoppadaddys.com) and loved seeing people I knew and people I didn't.

There was however a sense of it being a battle of us being there as a united front as me and Naomi both for no apparent reason felt sick (not alcohol related before you skeptics jump to conclusions :) as we both had not touched a drop of the stuff) and as soon as we sat down and chatted together- which is always good (love ya Noomes) and prayed the sick feeling left... hmmmm.

I can't enthuse people enough about the awesome awesome priviledge it is to be the gospel to people.. not to spout it at them in some hope of conversion but to first take Gods hand and say 'Lord, what is it you want me to do/say/not say/how can you reach this person through me...' Lord help me to first love and appreciate and get involved... why would you want to miss out on that??

Ok, its late and I could rant forever and ever about the awesomeness of knowing God and consequently how we can know other people and as Paul says 'be all things to all people'.

I want to share one instance from the last (academic) years excursions... I remember God telling me that night that I must 'Speak the Truth'- seems obvious, why would you not tell the truth...ha...but we (ovbiously including myself here!) can so easily not tell the truth by avoiding it. And I believe if I had not heard from the Lord before a conversation I later had with an old hall mate on the dance floor I would have talked round the subject or worded it so it wasn't so clear...

Anyway, he is a Jew- not particularly practising which doesn't bother him as in his word that night after entering a conversation about heaven said 'but I'm a Jew' and was saying how this meant regardless he would go to heaven so it didnt matter how he lived his life and didnt want to give up certain worldly things/'sins'.....

He then said 'So do you believe if you don't believe in Jesus you go to hell' this is where I momentarily paused and recalled what God said to me earlier and thankfully said 'yes'.

He is the gate, no?!!

Anyway my brothers and sisters, much love to you all (and Power for this coming year ahead, may you know Him in ALL your circumstances, thoughts, dreams and fears....I want this so He will flow through my actions in this 'lost and hurting world')

'For His Power is made Perfect in our weakness' Amen. Bring it on, I'm weak... have you noticed Lord :) ?!
