No specific subject, trying to think about everything at the same time!

Sorry, my mind is all over the place this morning so no rational train of thought!

We just had a prayer meeting at college - a group of us meet for an hour of prayer and worship every wednesday morning, but lots of people were away today so there were only 3 of us. It was great though, really felt the presence and peace of God...without the usual pressure that comes with having lots of people there. It was really good to just spend a relaxed hour chilling out in Gods presence, praying for the things that He put on our hearts. 1John 5:14-15..."This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him"

I've got a job interview tomorrow...I really need this job so if you're the praying sort please pray. If you're not the praying sort, please go on an Alpha course and then pray.

I came out the house this morning to walk in to college (8.30am, give the lad a medal!) and it was freezing! Can't help but think back to Estonia...I had an email yesterday from a girl I met there (thats a story for another time) saying that they had snow. So it's started - when we went to the Lines where the people were living with absolutely nothing, we were told that before long there would be 2 feet of snow and it would be -20degrees and still these people would be stuck there with no electricity, water, heating, food, doors, windows, roofs (burnt down by lighting fires inside their wooden huts) etc. I didn't have the heart to complain about being cold after that.

I've just started reading a book by Roger Forster about the doctrine and theology of the Trinity. I've only got as far as the introduction and most of it is over my head...but one thing that stuck out to me as I read it was the concept of unity in diversity (thinking about it, it might have been diversity within unity, I'll check!) - three separate beings being as one. So there might be a blog about that soon. Whilst on the subject of the Trinity though, I was at cell group last week and Rogers daughter was talking about creation, how to read the whole creation in 7 days thing and how to approach things like the big bang, evolution etc...was really interesting. But she said something about the Trinity - although it is never spoken of directly in the Bible, it is hinted at a lot and starts quite early on (I'd never picked this up)...Genesis chapter 1. Father: verse1, creator. Spirt: verse2 "the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters". Son: verse3 "and God said..." - human connotations. How clever!

I've also been trying to work out the plagues in Exodus...if God sent them to make Pharoah turn to Him, why did He harden his heart and send more plagues when he tried to? (see especially Exodus 10:16-20). Why harden his heart when He could soften it? So there might be a blog about that one soon as well!
