Such a lovely weekend! Friday: made burritos (chicken, black beans, guacamole, and the whole shabang) with friends/home-stay. Such a fun experience showing them how to eat a burrito. Sadly, my home-stay didn't enjoy it as much as shepherd's pie. After, we went to Presence (our college-aged group at church) meeting to find His presence, worship, and fellowship. Nothing better than praying with my brothers and sisters in Christ. Drank cider at a pub to end a good night. This is what America is missing...good pubs for conversation and laughter.
Saturday: Sleepover with Reality ladies...another girls night! Quite a long journey (2 hours by train), but so worth it to spend quality time with quality friends. Making dinner together, painting nails, watching movies (Parent Trap...filmed in London!), and playing with Sarah's cats (Onion and Kettle...the cutest names ever.) We slept in, made pancakes, and took the train to Reality. So blessed and encouraged every time.
Sunday message was about PEACE. No God, no peace. Know God, Know peace. I pray that we would call out to Him in times of trouble, instead of blaming Him for our circumstances. Instead of changing where we are, we need to pray for a changed heart. We need to repent first and thank Him for EVERYTHING. He is the one who gives us breath. He doesn't owe us anything, but still continues to love us. It made me realize everyday is a gift! Sometimes it's hard for me to be in this dark city, but I know my purpose in London...it's to be a light for Jesus in the darkness. I pray our light would shine brighter each day.
Love this worship song by Tim Hughes...
My soul is weak
My heart is numb
I cannot see
But still my hope is found in You
I’ll hold on tightly
You will never let me go
For Jesus, You will never fail
Jesus, You will never fail
Simply to the cross i cling
Letting go of all earthly things
Clinging to the cross
Mercy’s found a way for me
Hope is here as i am free
Jesus, You are all i need
Clinging to the cross
