Another night of the prayer room to go - though it has been really fruitful!

Last night was really cool (if not a tad tiring), the young people in the church are really ready to do something and I have decided to let them go for it and support them in any way I can. They have great ideas, and also they have talents and stuff that the church needs to really engage - else we're going to see them dissapear somewhere else!

Also wrote a poem, which was quite cool, all about our life being a journey to God. This morning Dave and Pete came over and we sang worship songs which was really cool, what better way to end a shift in the prayer room! God Bless...

I'm on a journey

It's not a journey of self-discovery
Though I've learnt a lot about me
It's not a journey from one place to another
Though I'm getting to where I want to be
It could be a journey without a destination
At least from an earthly view
Though I know where I'm going to end up
And believe me, it'll do!

Some days I'm ready for travel
Others I'm really not
Some days I wish I had more
Others I'm thankful for what I've got
Some days I make good progress
On others I go nowhere
Some days I find myself going backwards
Other days it's a nightmare

I'm not the first to take this journey
And I doubt I'll be the last
There's a lot of future to live
And a lot to learn from the past
Though this is my journey
I have never been alone
Though companions have come and gone
I've never been on my own

Sometimes I journey in victory
Sometimes I journey in pain
Sometimes I journey with my hands lifted high
Sometimes with my head hung in shame
Sometimes on the way I've fallen
Sometimes on the way I've sunk
Sometimes I've crashed onto solid ground
Sometimes I've been drowning in gunk

Ahead of me lies new lands to explore
Behind the past fades to grey
Ahead lies experience and opportunity
As yesterday dims and I live for today
Today I might march on my journey
Though I might skip, plod or walk
Today I might sing on my journey
Or perhaps I won't even talk

As I look back on my journey
I see footsteps etched in the sand
And I know in times of trial
He held me in the palm of his hand
My journey began with a simple phrase
"Lord I believe this to be true"
And Lord I know my journey ends
By going to be with you
