Happy Easter!

Ha! Had an amazing morning with Jesus today. Was physically knocked to my knees today over a scripture – that’s never happen to me before!

I really struggle with the whole Bible thing. Our church sees it as "the infallible word of God" and being the big over-thinker I am (or "reading something into everything" type which may well not be a good thing) I struggle with that. Infallible? There are lots of anti-God websites that will pull out the "evil" and contradictory parts of the Bible for you so I won't but there are some bits which have lost social relevance over the years...so I kinda feel that undermines the idea of infallibility. Guess I have more of a "God-breathed" perspective.

Anyway. Today just went to show, no matter how clever the devil thinks he is - Jesus is always the victor!

Today God spoke to me through Isaiah 40 and my guilt knotted my stomach. But I'm not too proud to bow before Jesus and apologise for the brat I've been. Just because I have "issues" with the Bible doesn't mean I need to distant myself from the church, God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit. In fact it’s those things that will help me see it through!

As much as I have held the Message version of the Bible at arms length in the past I found it to really ring true this time, Isaiah 40. Check it out if you have the time.

Must go and stuff chocolate in my mouth now, purely to stay culturally relevant of course!! (Gave choc up for lent so feel I deserve it in some sense!)

Much love & best wishes
