Welcome to "Erica ca ca land!"

Its written by John Mark McMillan but Kim Walker sings it in the video. I've not stopped listening to it. It's just an AMAZING song and the reason for it to be written is even more beautiful.... check it out!

Verse 1:
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,

HOW AMAZING IS THIS?

I havent typed on here for ages! But I need to let this out and speak about it in every direction I can! It is absolutely amazing!


Its the summer holidays for us teachers! 6 weeks with no lessons to give - just to recieve! And God totally knows that He has this specific time to work - and for any teachers or people on ridiculously 6 week long holidays we need to honour that!

I can't seem to shut up about this and as small as it might seem to some people - and maybe unbelievable to others I think it's HUGE! We went to Soul Survivor Watford last night for an evening of just worshipping God which was awesome. I was a bit apprehensive about the drive as there were 5 of us in the car... thats the most I've had in the car ever, especially down the M1!

Hubby found this on "Stumble Upon" and rather than ignore it he thought to send it to me.... which is encouraging, especially after a clash in concepts over the weekend!

"It's impossible"
All things are possible (Lk. 18:27)

"I'm too tired"
I will give you rest (Mt. 11:28-30)

"Nobody really loves me"
I love you (Jn 3:16)

"I can't go on"
My grace is sufficient (II Cor. 12:19)

"I can't figure things out"

We are all God's children and NOTHING will stop Him from loving us any less. Not one of us are worthy to live with Him but He ministers to us and helps us through the rubbish of it all. We are all guilty of sin, but whether we choose to keep on sinning or not does not stop and will never stop the past - Jesus dying for us!

So as this whole Robbie Card signing is going rather well (sending it on Monday!) I had the idea to send a card or letter or something nice to a celeb once a fortnight to let them know that Jesus loves them and to get peeps from church to sign it - rather than some freaky number one fan all by themselves. Its like a mini ministry - Celebrity Outreach, has a kinda ring to it dont you think? I reckon every church should have one. It was a bit odd at first praying for a famous person but the youth have taught me that you can pray about pretty much anything. And when I did pray for Robbie, I felt God smile and also want good things for him.

(Click on image to make it clearer!)

I'm sending Robbie Williams a get well soon card to let him know that I'm praying for him and that God cares and really loves him to pieces. I'm going to try and get other members of church, including the youth group to sign it too.

Yeah, another worship themed blog! But that is a good thing cus worship is like the one thing we should all live for is it not?

Our vicar, Mike Archer, asked me last night (during worship/music team auditions which I hope went ok) a really interesting question.... "How do you know when worship is going right?" And I don't think I gave a typical "musical" answer and I don't believe I should have done. And to be fair there is no real right or wrong answer when it comes down to it. People are all unique individuals and have different hearts for Him and they have different loves of ways to express their love - and I find that just another excuse to praise God even more. For me, I just love to sing and play my heart out to Him. If I could I would "sing of His love forever" and ever and ever if I want to use a famous band's words!
