How great, how awesome is He??

Hello again fellow bloggers, how art thou?? What's happening... and stuff!!

Anywho, so last night was my church's monthly prayer gathering (which of course I went to) and I was just so amazed by everything that went on! I mean, seriously.... last night I felt so in touch with God and I really felt his presence among the congregation which was such an amazing feeling.

I did tons of praying last night and was really happy because it really felt like God was listening to not just my prayers..... but EVERYONES!!! Which totally blew me away!

There is a lot of stuff going on in my life right now that I thought I needed to cope with on my own but turns out that I really, really don't!! When I sat down and really prayed about it, I realised just how many people I could turn to that would help me in a heartbeat... like firstly God! In a moment of clarity I realised that God is always there for me... and that I, among many others, am always on his mind... I was the one who had forgotten about him!

Also, I realised I had my family... my brothers and sisters through God!!!! They will always be there for me and I know they will help me through my problems!

Side Note: I want to thank Ste and J9 for all their constant support, they are so precious to me and I love them muchly... thanks for praying for me also :)

So to wrap this very long blog up, God is awesome and I love Him lots!!!
Peace out!!!

Really, really

Ok, so hi guys again.... sorry I haven't blogged in a while but I haven't really had all that much to say that's important! So how are you all? Good? Great!

Ok so not a lot has been going on really... just chillin'... workin'... churchin'... you know the norm!
So last week I had some information about my placement in my gap year! You know... the one I told y'all about in my first blog?

No? Ok I'll remind you! I'm going to Japan for 6 months to work in a hospital and I'm doing it through a charity called 'Lattitude'. Look em up, they're awesome!
Anywho, so I was send a booklet entitled, 'Volunteer Handbook' which I read through and some other info like FAQ's and a letter about when I'll get the full details on my placement!

This incident TOTALLY freaked me out a little... (Did I just pull of an oxymoron sentence?) because it just made it so real! Like, really really real! I mean.... before it was just a dream you know? And now it's like... real and its kinda weird that I'll be leaving all my friends, who I love very much behind and going to a distant place where I won't see them!

However, I will still have God with me because he will never leave me! And I will still have the Internet... ah trusty Internet! I can blog to them... yay!

So ...... oh yeah and I almost forgot... this Sunday is like... Easter Sunday! At our church (which is Oakham Evangelical Church) we have lots of fun and exciting things going on like a morning service, a family service and an evening service which will have things like sketches, puppet shows, live music, drama, dance and many more things going on! So that should be awesome... would be swell if any Christians reading this would pray that it goes well and stuff. That would be sweet!

Ok, so I'm gonna go now cause its like... kinda late and I'm kinda tired!

Laters xxxx

Newsflash.... update? Ah whateva!

So hey its me again... obviously cause it's my blog duh! (Honestly... I can be such a tard sometimes)! Anywho... I am at placement this week which is always super fun yet monotonous (impressed with my big word... cause I sure am)!

So on Saturday I went to this thing at St Matthew's Church in Tipton called 'Just Music' and it was really cool! I really enjoyed just gathering to worship with other peeps who just love the dude upstairs (that's God in case you were confused).....

I am also wearing gloves in my house right now which is odd to everyone but me! My hands are never warm... it's odd. Any theories?? Post comments :P

Yeah also stayed at Claire's house for her birthday celebrations and stayed up way too late but has awesome fun!!!! Rob and Matt stayed too and we played Mario Kart and Mario Party and poker.... then watched Bill and Ted's Bogus Adventure.... how weird is the Grim Reaper right???

Well I'm off... sees ya soon fellow bloggers

Peace xxxx

Hello fellow bloggers and welcome to my latest entry..... firstly, how are all of you? Cause let's face it, it would be rude of me not to ask wouldn't it? So today has been kinda fun as instead of doing tons of boring lessons at college, I went to the Black Country Museum (it was a college planned activity so if you think I'm slacking take it up with them).

At the beginning of the day we weren't allowed to even go anywhere by ourselves (I mean, what are we... 12?) but after about 12 o'clock they let us do whatever we wanted which was cool. The first half of the day kinda sucked but after that we totally livened up! We went to the fun fayre and the coal mine, which by the way was totally tiny and un-stand-y-up-able in (was that even a coherent sentence... ah well)!

It was very interesting to see all the different houses and such and I also saw a silent movie which was really cool and totally hilarious (it was Laurel and Hardy so.... fun times)!!!!

After my time at the Black Country Museum, I went to church to practice with the puppets (which I am terrified of by the way). Surprisingly, I am starting to feel more comfortable with them which is cool as the fear of puppets is an odd fear to have.

(Side note: I also hate clowns and stuff that looks human but isn't)

Anywho, so now I'm just chilling at home which isn't the slightest bit interesting at all so.... peace!!!

Weekend blues

Hey guys! So the weekend was blue... very blue! Maybe that's because I went to see Birmingham City v Spurs the weekend. It was my very first football match and it was awesome! The atmosphere was electric and Birmingham won so that was cool!

I have gone back to college to be greeted by OFSTED (if you don't know what that is... look it up) which is sooooo fun! On the plus side, however, the tutors have decided to give us the day off tomorrow so that's pretty sweet! I can use that time to get some work done and get a lie in, so that cool!

I have decided also to let myself get carried by God more! I sometimes forget that I no longer have to do things in my own strength, which is a difficult concept to wrap my head around. I have been so used to feeling like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders that its odd to have that suddenly lifted. I also feel that I should stop worrying about little things as it just makes me feel crappy and it's not a feeling I like!

Well, the time has come for me to say fare-de-well so.......
Fare-de-well xxx
