Anywhere is

Hello there,
How's things?
I hope things are going well for you.
Today, I want to talk to you about your journey.
No matter what you're doing, or how your feeling, we are all on a journey.
No matter if you're crying through the night, wondering where God is now, or perhaps you're praying in your  ''War room'' for a break through.
Perhaps you're wondering where ''Anywhere is''.
I took this idea from Enya's song, ''Anywhere is''.
And I have had a look at the song and it's quite interesting as she sings about being on a journey,  if you're a stay at home mother, wondering if you make a difference, or the office worker, a lawyer, or a police officer, renforcing the law, or the parking meter man writing out a ticket.
Or maybe you have a battle with cancer, or if you've lost a child, if you're aching because you're lonely.
Love has found a way my friend, you don't need to fight anymore, you don't have to keep being strong.
Or maybe you're starting off in your journey or perhaps you're near the end.
If you are dry and weary, when there's nothing left in your reserve energy tank, if people see you struggling, let them help you.
Even if you're the strongest person, that you know, we all need to help others, even if it's just doing the house work, or making the meal for the friend who is finding it hard to take kindness.
We all loose our way, and it's ok to have not a reason to say how you are, or why you haven't gone to church for a while, it's ok, just to have a break from things once and while, Jesus did, Elisha did, even the best  music bands in the world do, some even change lead singers for a while.
Being ''Anywhere is.'' is ok.
You don't have to be super women, man, or Miss or Mr Marvellous all the time.
You don't always be kind to people all the time if they need to hear a hard word, of course be kind to them, but sometimes if you go and rescue the person all the time, worrying how they are, and all of that, and if all they have is, you, well who do you have when things get hard?
We start off the day with breakfast, and if you skip breakfast, you know what it does to you, if you don't have breakfast, you lack concentration, you tire more easily, and if you don't take a break, you are at risk of fatigue, and a risk to your workers.
Same goes with your realationships, be careful how you pick your friends, and who you like and don't like, and be honest with them.
So many young people are dying in the hands of people who been in dangerous relationships, and it's time to stand up and say enough is enough.
But how do we go and do that?
Do you have to be ''called'' like going into the mission field?
What do you do if, some tells you things that  are secret and just don't seem right?

Firstly, if you think someone is in a harmful sitiation, don't keep secrets, tell some pastor at your church, don't tell everyone, or tell your mentor what's happening, and see what they would do.
If it's bad report to the police, because they can help the person, that's what they are there for.
Be careful about the ''laying of on hands'' when you pray, when you have a special need, and sometimes it's better to be slient and pray quietly.
God already know's their story and he is already working in their lives.
So lets just pull it in a bit and discover what or where  ''Anywhere is''
If you don't know, perhaps church is just a tired place, or perhaps for some unknown reason you don't go along much, and you don't know why, it's ok.
But don't  stay there too long, talk about it, and see where God is leading you.
God's plan for you isn't a one size fits all, plan, he designs it for you, and he works in your best interests.
God isn't mad at you he's not like your past relationships, or your family, sometimes we go around with  condemnation, and such a worry on our shoulders that God doesn't want you to carry.
Lets break off our chains that bind us, lets see what God has in store for us, and lets live as Christians that we are supposed to be living.
Love
Chloe
