The complications of life

Well, what can I say, been a stressful few weeks. Really enjoying my job at the moment and have been blessed with making new friends in Alsager.

Trying to remember that God has a plan for my life and that in his time all things will happen and that I am in Alsager for a reason!

Moving house this week which is stressful in it's self, let alone when it's right in the middle of Easter, one of the busiest times in the Church calender. Luckily I know what I'm doing and been pretty organised in the run up to the events.

Got to spend a few days at home last week and really enjoyed relaxing with my parents, sister and my nephews. Feel so blessed with my family, my parents are always willing to help me, even if it impacts them.

I signed up to tweet the easter story with Easterlive and then remembered on the day I was meant to start tweeting, but really enjoying looking at the story from different perspectives and just reading it day by day!

What makes you happy?

For the past few years I have been trying to be content with who

I am and being happy with what I've got.

This week I have realised that I am truly happy with my life, God has blessed with me with so many things I just need to take it all and be happy with who he made me to be!

The songs about love that always made me feel like I was missing something and someone now are just good songs to sing.

It's not because I started seeing someone new but because I realised that God has a bigger plan for my life and one person cannot make you completely happy, true happiness comes from God!

So take some time today to think about what makes you happy.

New Beginnings

I started this blog when I was about 16 years old and I am now 21 years old and have decided to start blogging again!

When I look back on the things I used to write on this blog some of them remind me of great memories, some of them make me sad and some of them make me laugh. I can see that the experiences I have had over the last few years have changed me into the person I am today, including the tough experiences!

So what have I done since I last posted back in 2006 well...

I worked at St.Mary's Church in Luton as a children's intern after I finished my alevel. I really enjoyed it so decided to get some formal training so have moved to Alsager, Cheshire where I am studying Children's Ministry and practical theology and on placement at a Church.

This means that I have had to move away from all my family and friends but I have made some great friends in Alsager and still have good chats with my old friends!

Its been too long .........

since I last posted a blog!
I remember when this used to be the craze but all that has changed now. Anyway the last week has really made me think about how much things have changed in the last year, I remember the summer I spent at the park having picnics and just chilling but now everything I do has changed. I guess that as we get older we all move on, the mates you used to see are off some where else and the things you used to enjoy seem almost childish. I now have the view that although everything has changed, I have gained new experiences which were different and good in their own way. Without moving forward we could never look back or have memories.

I would say I have definitly moved forward in my faith in the last year and that when I look back I remember the good things in the past and the people who have really impacted my life. Also the bad things I experience no longer get me down but have strengthed my relationship with God and with others.

At my youth group yesterday my old youth leader came to speak and it was an amazing talk, he has such an enthusiasm and I've missed his talks. Last night was a great night, I just had a sense of happiness and like nothing could touch me. I love the fact that me and Chris can worship and be hyper together, it always feels good to just have fun with him and he definitly makes me happy. Also when Gilly prayed for me I just felt a sense of peace, like a burden I'd been carrying had gone.

Anyway sorry for the delayed posting.

hmmmmmmmm

I have just read back over my entire blog and realised how in coherent it is, due to the fact I do not update it enough.One moment i'm getting angry and the next I'm saying how great things are. Sorry everybody who reads this.
I don't wanna write that life is realli good at the moment because even though it seems like it is every time I say that something seems to go wrong. I have realised missed hanging out wit my girly mates and going to infinity. The last few weeks of the summer went realli quickly and soul survivor was amazing. I am upto date with all my school work and I'm sorting out my university ucas application which is quite exciting but scary.
Things are sailing along nicely with Chris (omg that sounds so corny) and I can really see a future with him and its quite reassuring we can talk about it together.I have been seeing some mates who I have not realli been close to for a few months and its realli nice just to catch up with them. Gill and Tasha we need a girly nite soon !!!!
Anyway off to do my UCAS application.
I shall try and write coherently from now. TRY !
Hope everyone is refreshed after their summer hols and that God continues to refresh you even as we enter the winter months .xxxx

why?

Why is it that men always come between friends?

No-one will know wat I'm talking about but it just feels that men always come before mates even tho we say we're not gonna let it. Oh well

sorry for this random post !

Hows it hangin ??

well i'd just thought I'd post and say how i'm feeling at the moment, sim and chris are at my house pretending to be gay which is quite scary because they can pull it off really well !!!
Anyway soul survivor is in bout 11 days and to be honest I'm quite scared bout it, I'm going wit stopsley and I get in on with people there but none of my really close mates are going :( I suppose its a chance for me to get to know them better and really concentrate on my faith but its a new experience for me and I'm kinda worried:) Oh well.
