had an amazing weekend in York with Kat..had dinner with her and her friends, went to see Benjamin Francis Leftwich in a church which was just lovely and then on Sunday we went and had a walk round York, bought some fudge and then went to the Minster, which i think is kinda like a Cathedral?any way it was amazing..so huge and i was just so in awe of the majesty of God in there..we went and prayed and read the bible with each other for a while..whenever i see Kat it is always good for my soul because God is just the reason why we are friends, and i love it.
Then we went to church with Tim and his friend and was just so lovely to be welcomed in and feel part of it..really enjoyed the church as its just about God, no fuss or pantomime..you can't beat just focusing on God..
here are some things i learnt in York

1. God must come first or it'll be a massive fail
2. God gave us lots of good things, people, food, music so that we would enjoy them but also so that they would bring him glory..we should be thankful for food, and point to God in our relationships and worship with music. it is not an end in itself, simply a means to worship the creator rather than the created.
3. I am very blessed because God is good.
4. God is with me always..
5. Peace and rest are readily available no matter what is going on around us, we just have to ask.
6. I want to live in York
