A little sleepy

Today i'm tired, my body is exhausted and i have bags under my eyes the size of suitcases, its either bags or smudged make-up.

I guess this is the price you pay when you're fighting on the front line and when you put everything you are into everything you do.

I'm taking time out and i'm grabbing my rest because the fight is unrelenting and there is much to be done.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am gentle and humble in heart, and you will rest rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30

God is holding on to me so tightly, guiding me, loving me, restoring me, challenging me, breaking me, singing over me. Although i'm shattered my soul is so rested and i'm still so excited to be used by Him.

A little true story to entertain

This beautiful young man shares an office with me and has done for the past 6 weeks. His name is Eddie. On Friday night i had a party at my house, my kitchen was mostly full of my housemates friends who i didn't know.

I was in a slightly naughty mood so was easily persuaded to change my outfit completely and re-introduce myself to the party as my indentical twin sister Gem (Meg backwards). I left the house rang the door bell and started the confusion.

Gem has just graduated in business and ecconomics and is looking for a job in journalism, hopefully with the financial times. I/she was chatting to a couple of people i had just met who had no reason to doubt me, it was quite fun lying to their face but i felt quite deceptive so went off to introduce Gem to my mates from work. Eddie was my first target, he was a little sceptical to begin with but pretty soon he took the bait hook line and sinker.

I then went out and changed back into Meg. When i re-entered the room eddie's face was a picture, utterly convinced at this point that he had just been chatting to my twin sister and that he had really offended her by not believing she wasn't me. I pointed out that it happens alot because we have the same face! Ha ha.

I have been sitting next to eddie at work for the past 6 weeks - surely in that time i would have mentioned my twin?

Brilliant.
