We need to stick together to make a difference

Hey everyone! As you probably know I support Reading! Anyway we went to watch them at the weekend as a present for my birthday (which is tomororw) against Tottenham (Spurs). It was a fantastic match, and the best live match I've been at. Spurs were on 10 games unbeaten before the match, and we'd lost 5 in a row! Spurs are one of the best teams in Europe too, so to see the players for them was great. For example Robinson (England keeper), King (England defender), Dawson (England defender), Lennon (England midfield player), Defoe (England striker)... the list just goes on really.

We went 1-0 down to a penalty, which Robbie Keane scored, but after that we played great, and won 3-1. The best goals for Reading were Shorey's (hit from outside box), and Doyle's (a quality finish!). It was a record attendance for Reading too, at 24,110, and was shown on tv, so all in all it was a pretty good day.

I've had a good week really, I passed my driving test last week, yay! I'm now insured on my mum's picasso! I also spent time with my youth group, we went on a prayer walk on Saturday, around our town praying for different streets, which was fun. Our nation is so much need of a revival, and it's down to our generation to do something about this. And by continually praying for your town, and area, and country it's one way of helping to make a difference. We need to do this together though. Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic (quote from Vance Havner). It's so true too, as together we can make a HUGE difference! Think about that! This also links in with the football yesterday as Reading could so easily have lost, but they played like a team, whereas the better team Spurs didn't look out for each other as much, and their team work wasn't as good. I know it's not a great example, but one individual could not win it for Reading, the whole team had to win it. And I think it's like Christianity, in that one person can make a tiny difference, but put that one person in a team, and the impact they can make can be dramatic. Us Christians need to stick together!
God bless
