Today I talked to God

Today I talked to God.
I told him he was great because he is. He made the world and he made me.
I thanked him for loving me. I thanked him that he loved me so much he died for me.
I told him that I loved him because he loves me and because I find him amazing and wonderful.
I told him I am looking forward to seeing him in the future.
I told him about my work and my life. I thanked him for those things and asked him to help me work well and live well.
I told him the things I know I have done wrong and asked him to forgive me.
I thanked him that he forgives me because of Jesus.
I asked him to make me more like Jesus.
I thanked him for my friends and asked him to look after them and help them with their difficulties.
I asked him to remind them that he is loving. I asked him to change the hearts of those who don't love him.
I asked him to help me be less self-focused and a better friend by putting others first.
I asked for his help to tell other people about him because often I am scared to do it even though I want to.
I thanked him for the day ahead.

Outside the City Walls

This weekend some of my friends from the city are getting together outside of the city. We're meeting in a hotel - which is a bit odd - but because no one has a house big enough to house us all we have to stay somewhere. This hotel has a gym, a swimming pool and beautiful grounds apparently. Nice. We're going to spend time doing what families do - eating together, chatting with one another, laughing (at least I hope so!) and the men at least are going to do sauna together.

We're also going to be hearing talks on the subject The Doctrine of God. That basically means we're going to hear about the king, architect and builder of the city.

I hope to blog about the talks (and the sauna chat) next week.
