I was quite shocked to see how long it had been since I last posted something - but I have been away and on top of that I am lacking inspiration.
But one thing does spring to mind today. At church this morning it was communion and the minister led a really lovely service. Hi sermon focused on taking time to work out what God wants of us and he reminded us of our promise to serve. He used the analogy of a steam train and how it needs grease for the wheels, wheels to move and coal to stock the fire and glow. I loved the image of being fired up for Christ. The minister was certainly fired up and glowing today.
I have been feeling quite fired up myself lately but I know I am not always like that. There are times that I want to hide from God and not be his visible presence. But I know that there is no hiding and what I should be doing is finding ways to keep my fire glowing.
One thing that is helping is the lenten journey that Christian Aid have put together - a Journey to Jerusalem that you can do on line. For someone who is an internet addict this is ideal!
