But hopefully will be doing it more frequently again. Once again i must say this is just my thoughts and opinions and me just bouncing ideas around whilst i write.
Completely of point i have been listening to this song recently

So yeah i have been looking the past week or so at Hebrews, gosh this book especially this chapter really spoke to me so powerfully. If you haven't read it recently or haven't read it at all i seriously with all my heart recommend that you do!
Hebrews 11: 1-40 has really opened my eyes to the past and what could and should be coming to the present!
Just the first two verses
1-2The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we can't see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.
I mean that says a lot in itself.
Faith is the firm foundation that makes life worth living , i haven't heard in quite some time truer words!
In honest if we do not have faith what are we doing with our christian faith.
If we pray but do not believe is it likely to happen?
If we want to be different but do not have the faith to base it upon is it likely we can change completely?
The verse 2 says its what set them apart from the crowd. In Hebrews 11 it goes through a huge chunk of names and stories about people who have had the faith to believe and trust in the Lord God almighty and carry out what they are being called to do.
I think that is the principle if you hear God pulling you towards a direction its having the faith to get out of the boat metaphorically speaking breaking out of your comfort zone.
Trust me nothing is more rewarding than the reward our God has for us.
This chapter really spoke to me so much so that i even wrote about it.
As many of us know David wrote Psalms to express how he was feeling before anyone jumps to any conclusions i am not comparing myself to David there are only few things we have in common. One Name, Two he had faith in the same God that I do!
I wrote this on the train on the journey down to London and just came so naturally if i had to force it i wouldn't share it but because it didn't i am going to share it.
Again this is based on Hebrews 11.
O how i wish to receive what you promised,
You promised to give me something so great i would be perfect!
I long for this day as a thirsty infant waits for their parent to return,
Like the water they receive your words nourish my soul!
I take rest and revitalisation from the Great God ,
who has saved many from all sorts of troubles without even batting an eye lid.
Papa your love is beyond the depth of my understanding!
Some days i really wish from the bottom of my heart i could put on my scuba diving equipment and take the plunge with you to the deepest depths to explore all about your love.
Some of my friends look across at me and think wow,
But i know i have to focus on God and in laments terms bow!
All the stories of Men of faith brings fire to my heart!
I want to do that and then some,
Teach me , mould me into someone who can do more than the stories have written.
I must have faith for this to come to fruition!
For it is faith which my burst of energy in this long haul race!
Knowing you believe in something and no matter how many questions are thrown in the my heart i know for sure its true, there Is no other feeling.
Its like a shot of adrenaline straight into my heart which ignites it into action and turns it into a blistering blaze!
A fire that can never be extinguished!
If i can just stay true i know my life will seem less blue and i may become like those few!
Cheers guys for reading this again any questions comments dont hesitate.
