So you're a Christian in your twenties...

As a Christian in your twenties you're in a really weird spot, some of your friends are engaged, some are travelling, some are ignoring adulthood completely.

But things are great, you're out of education and into the real world! Unfortunately there is some responsibility you have to undertake, but here's some things I find helpful to remember when you feel like things aren't going right.:

• Singleness in not a bad thing that deems you unimportant
• God's plan A is the church, there is no plan B. Get involved!
• Regular time with God is super important.
• Don't aim to people please.
• You don't go on the shelf if you're not married by the time you're 22.
• You are not of this world.
• Your future has already begun.
• Not everyone has it all together yet, no matter how much instagram says they do.
• Who you are dating makes a difference, they become part of who you are.
• Adulthood isn't as scary you may think. Enjoy it.

So remember, it's only the beginning, don't stress.

The Mission in Sewing

Today I attended a sewing club that my mum goes to. There are only four of them that go, three Christians and a non Christian. It's not intentionally an outreach, however naturally it is one.

This is because we are all missionaries.

Some people would see this as a very bold statement but it's true! Anyone who knows their bible will tell you, we are not of this world. We are only here for a short period of time, here to tell people the amazing news of Jesus Christ! Of his salvation and wonderful, gracious love. 

Now this sewing club I went to today, without forcing any form of bible based conversation we ended up discussing the question; "How can God allow suffering?" a very difficult topic, but the non-christian was the one who brought it up and God had prompted that and placed us there to be His missionaries. 

You don't have to go abroad to tell people about Christ, yes the work of OM and other mission groups is fantastic and if you have the facility then go and do it! But don't be disheartened, mission is also on your doorstep! 

The Lord has placed you exactly where he wants you to be.

So take what he has given you. We all have been given gifts, just remember to use them.

You can even be a missionary just by sewing.
