attitude determines the person you will become.
just got home from youth. it was great, laura was preaching which is a change to usual, because normally it's pastor jim, and laura's a youth leader.
i actually didnt expect to get much out of tonight, and my mind was on other things but i was shocked by just how much i did.
her main points were about learning to love yourself as God loves you, and learning to love others as God loves them, and that a good attitude will follow.
long story short, in the middle of her message, she kind of hit what i guess you would call a block, she didn't really know what to say or where to go from where she was, and she needed help. i really felt for her, because her message had been so good and so relevant up to that point but it was as if she just got completely lost and had no words really, or kind of like she couldnt make sense of what she had written and what she was thinking.
at that point i felt God saying to get up from my seat and go and pray for her into the microphone infront of everyone, which to me, i was like haha no way am i doing that, so i left it and she seemed for a minute like she had kind of got back on track a bit, then she kind of got lost again, and God was saying so strongly to her, go and pray for her, go and pray for her. and i was still kind of pushing him away saying no, no, i can't, then i swear he said straight to me, step out of your comfort zone, she needs this right now, prayer is the only thing that can help, ask God to give her the words.
next thing i knew i was out of my nice front row seat, taking the microphone out of her hand and praying to our awesome God that she would be given the words she needed, and that God could speak through her to deliver the message we needed to hear.
oh my gosh, i was so scared, i was like shaking.
but the amazing thing, i guess faith as small as a mustard seed ey, because it worked, after that she had the words to preach and she spoke so well and the atmosphere of the whole night changed completely.
so yeah i guess i learnt that sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone, because God conquers all and he will lift you through the things that are tough, and mould you into a better, stronger person because of it.
oh and that your attitude towards things determines the person you will become.
(Laura you actually taught me that one later on when we were praying in small groups, you are a true inspiration)
so yeah thanks Laura, and thanks Jesus Christ, my Almighty Saviour, the Conquerer Of All.

goodnight world.
xx louise may.
