Spiritual side of music Jordan Sparks: One step at a time

Jordan Sparks: One step at a time As with most songs of the modern era this song is about problems faced and solved. We all rush through things and religion isn't an exception. We all want to get as close to god as we can as quick as we can and normally it comes back to bite us. We try to go for a walk with God without a plan. One of the biggest problems is trying accepting God into our hearts before we are ready. We want what others have without knowing what the consequences could be. Your walk with God is not something that should be rushed we need to take it one step at a time. Once you do start walking with God doors will close on you and you will trip over. Your walk with God is not a easy path. Just like starting our relationship with God the walk is one we need to take slow and steady. To fast and we miss things. Take it at your own pace not the worlds.

Soul Food

How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a]) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” This story in the bible is one of the many times that Jesus refers to food and drink in the bible. The reason for this is that is was easy to relate to for the people of the time. Jesus often even referred to himself as bread. We need food to physically survive. It's fuels our system an keeps it going. As does the bible for our spirit. The bible is food for our soul. Consider it like a cookbook. It tells us what ingredients we need. It also gives us reviews and ways to change our recipe to work better. Not only do we need a recipe but we need the right ingredients. We need to be surrounded by people who Jesus and we need to go to church to get new recipe...

Something different

I have just got back from camp and I am so tired. So I am going to try something different. Gesine showed us this song at youth a while ago. So i'm simply going to post the lyrics and video. Reflect on it and let me know what you think. If you have prayer requests or just want to ask me something, you can email me at 'thombilton@me.com' or Text me '021 2383 891' Shadows fill an empty heart As love is fading From all the things that we are And are not saying Can we see beyond the scars And make it to the dawn Change the colors of the sky And open up to The ways you made me feel alive The ways I loved you For all the things that never died To make it through the night Love will find you What About Now What about today What if you're making me All that I was meant to be What if our love never went away What if it's lost behind Words we could never find Baby before its too late What About Now The sun is breaking in your eyes To start a new day This broken he...
