Merry Christmas! :)

Happy Christmas! I hope you had a really good day! I did! We had all our family over in the afternoon which was really nice, my brother has moved back in with us and is currently sleeping on the sofa bed in our lounge so we had to wait a bit longer to open our presents whilst he woke up! My parents are thinking of turning their bedroom into 2 smaller rooms so that my brother has a bedroom, then when he moves out again me and my sister won't have to share a room because we can move into the separate ones! I really hope they can! As one of my presents I got a CD player so I can now play music in my room without using my phone! Unfortunately, because I share a room I can't play music non-stop and my sister and I don't have the same taste in music. I also got quite a few books for Christmas; I am in the middle of reading one which is called "Love walked among us" which is really interesting. I haven't been out much this week so I don't really have much to say but I hope to share some interesting news the week we get back to school! I am very excited for this coming year! 

Another video!!

Another one to watch! If you like ;)

The Social Network Christmas!

This is a video that was shown in our church and I just think it's a really cool way to tell the world the good news! Please watch!

Nearly a new year...

The realisation hit me earlier today... it is almost the end of the year! At the beginning of this year there were a lot of prophecies about this being a new year and amazing things happening to the youth, and those promises have been fulfilled. My new year's resolution to bring someone to Christ has been fulfilled also! I can't wait to write next years resolution!! I wonder where I will be this time next year and what I will be doing. I think I have a rough idea but it's up to God; I'm waiting to see where he leads me! I am so excited!

I was in Biology today and I was thinking about how my teacher was teaching and I imagined teaching children at some point, specifically poor children who have no homes or families, and I thought that there are so many children and what would be a nice number to take off the streets and look after and I thought to myself: "8? Yes, 8 is a nice number, I can do 8" And as soon as I said it I just felt God laugh! It was so hearty that I started laughing too in the middle of my lesson! I don't think many people noticed but it was very funny. So I am thinking that God has a lot more children in mind than just 8!


I have also been thinking of mission trips and I am interested in doing one next summer, it is for a week and I have signed up for it. There is a selection process so I suppose if God wants me to go then I'll get through and be able to raise the money! It's all so exciting. I would love to be involved with a church plant as well, to watch a church's growth from the beginning. I think that would be so exciting! I think my family might be taking part in one pretty soon!


It would be so cool if a stranger walked up to me and handed me plane tickets to Ukraine with the date on that I was supposed to go but it doesn't always happen like that! Sometimes it does and that is so cool when that happens but I had a dream that my mum told me to start saving for the Ukraine flight now, I woke up and I remembered it very clearly. So, I need to start saving my pocket money! I can't wait until we go back to school next year! My last school year and it's going to be amazing! I know that God has some huge plans ahead and he has written his name on our school as his so we wait for him to spread his revival fire!

The fire is back!

Wahoooo!!! God is so awesome! I love him so much! Last night, we had Youth Group and it was one of the best! The worship was incredible! God really spoke throughout and I really felt his presence! Then we all prayed for each other, someone would sit in the middle and we gathered round and prayed and prophesied over each other. These were the words people prophesied over me: "I see you on the front lines, people have been placed by the enemy to taunt you but you have a huge smile on your face, let joy be your strength. God will use that to overpower." And; "You are on a surf-board on a big wave, surfing- you are panicking a bit. Focus on God, enjoy the ride, don't fret. Enjoy the exhilaration of being on the wave." Also; "Being fired up isn't just a phase, 'to he who has, more will be given'."
   They were really spot on because I have been panicking about the future a bit- the deadlines for handing in applications for 6th form is coming up and I really need to make sure I'm doing what God wants me to do, and follow him. And also, a lot of people at school are being rude to me about me being a Christian, so that was really cool as well! And I want to be continuously fired up for Jesus so they all hit the spot!
   I got home and opened the bible- I couldn't wait to read more of God's word! It opened in the psalms and I read the first few sentences which said "Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all nations, the taunts with which your enemies have mocked every step of your anointed one. Praise be to the Lord forever! Amen and Amen." (Psalm 89:50-52)
My eyes then brushed over the last few sentences on the page and read "The seas have lifted up, O Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea- the Lord on high is mighty." (Psalm 93:3-4)
I thought that was so cool! How both those verses were the things prophesied over me! I love how God does things like that!


And  apart from being sick at 10 to 3 in the morning I am feeling great! I am listening to some worship music whilst my family has gone out for my little brothers birthday, I love it when I have the house to myself, it's so freeing! Well, that's all my news for now. I will update shortly because God is still holding our school in his hands and he is going to do some amazing things! He hasn't forgotten! Expect the unexpected!!

The A-Z of Me!

It's only 18 sleeps until Christmas!!! I get so excited! I love Christmas except the going to sleep on Christmas eve part. I can sleep every other night except that one! Why is that? I have no idea, but I hope I get some sleep this year! I think the most annoying thing is being tired and not being able to sleep.


I have sort of ran out of things to post but because I love it so much I've decided to do something a bit weird.. I am going to write an A-Z post about me! I thought I would write down the things that link to me beginning with those letters...


Abigail- My name. It means delight/joy of the father. I love it! ♥


Baths- I love having really long baths, I can read for hours until the water gets cold!


Carpathian mountains- I advise anyone who reads this to type it into google images, it is the most beautiful place I have ever seen in the world (which I haven't seen very much of!!) in pictures


Daughter- No I do not have a child! I love being a daughter; I love my parents very very much! I also love being a daughter of God!


Elisha- She is more than my best friend, she's my sister in Christ, we're both quite different but share the same passion for God! I know I can tell her anything and everything!


Farm- I have lived on a farm my entire life and love it! My favourite time of the year is when the lambs are born!


God- Didn't have to think about this one! I hope that God will always be my focus, my rock and my centre. I couldn't live without him and I know I don't have to.


Heaven- I can't even imagine heaven because I haven't even come close to seeing it! I can't wait to be there, with Jesus!


Imagination- I love imaginations! I'm always daydreaming but what I love more is hearing children talk about something they've made up, they have the best imaginations ever!


Jackie Pullinger- A woman whom I admire very much! She was a brave woman with a big heart! 


Knitting- this relates to me through my mother, who loves knitting! She has her own knitting group and she's not even 45!


Love- I think this word describes God, but he loves us in a pure, holy love. I love God's love, I also love the love of friends and family.


Mail- This might be weird, but I love getting letters! Me and my cousin used to write back and forth all the time, we've been really busy recently but I'll try and start it up again! I love having something with my name on it and opening it, someone wrote especially for me! Also; memories, I love looking back at good memories!


Nightime- I love this because it means that you can go to sleep! But I also love it because if you go outside (I only like doing this if someone else is with me!) and look up, you see the amazing beauty of God's creation, I love how you can't see the stars in the day time but when the sun goes down, it's the stars time to shine!


Orphans- For people who are politically correct and say that they aren't orphans because they are God's children.. look in the bible. It uses the word orphans quite a bit. I have a heart to look after those who can't look after themselves, especially young children. I want to help them and show them the love of Jesus.


Prophecy- I love it when God reveals his heart to his people! I love it when someone's life is transformed because God speaks to them and uses us! Everyday, ordinary people as God's messengers!


Quiz- I love playing guessing games like Articulate and Taboo!


Rabbit- I have 5 at the moment! Soon it will go back to one once I have sold the babies! They are very sweet!


Spring- I love Spring! I love it when the trees start growing back and they stand tall again in their glory of green leaves! I love it that the animals give birth to new life and I love remembering what Jesus did for us at Easter!


Teaching- I love being taught, especially by just watching people. I really like teaching other people too, especially children.


Ukraine- My favourite place!!! (Even though I haven't been there yet!) I fell in love with it when I was looking at the pictures on google and I can't wait to see it properly!


Victorian era- I love all old-fashioned things really, I love the clothes they wore, especially in Pride and prejudice! It was such a simple way of living! Although I do love this time as well!


Walking- I love going for walks through the countryside, especially in Spring and Autumn when the colours are so vibrant!


X- I'm afraid I have to leave this one blank because I don't think anything relates to me directly that begins with X, I don't watch the X-Factor but otherwise that would be on it!


Yes- this word changed my life when I said yes to God.


Zapata- I couldn't think of anything for this one so I chose Zapata, apparently it means "to have a long, flowing moustache"! I do NOT have a moustache thank goodness! I just found it pretty funny! ;)


So that's me! A tiny insight into who I am and what I like! It gets harder to think of words towards the end!

Love, Your DadAlmighty God

Love them like Jesus...

I read something in a book last night which was.. pretty awesome! The book was the bible and it said this: "But I tell you who hear me: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who ill-treat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If some one takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking you tunic. Give to everyone who asks of you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back." (Luke 6:27-30)


I have read this passage before, but it hadn't really stood out to me that much. I read it again, and realised that actually, I have so much to learn. You see, I got this cup for my birthday, it's a Cath Kidson mug and I was really pleased with it. However I don't use it that often because it's quite large and I usually only want a small cup of tea or whatever, but it was still mine. Then, my sister started borrowing it and for some reason I got really annoyed. I told her not to steal it because it's mine and I didn't want her to break it. I kept getting angry with her every time she took it. Now, having read that, I could have let her take it. I could have offered to make her a cup of tea with it. When my sisters want to borrow my clothes I could let them borrow them, then they wouldn't be 'stealing'. If we share everything with everyone, there wouldn't be thieves!! If my sister takes my favourite jumper from my wardrobe, I could offer her my best hat to go with it. That is love! It's grace! It's loving like Jesus! We all think 'What Would Jesus Do?' But do we all think 'What Did Jesus Do?' Jesus gave everything he had, when people persecuted him he prayed "Father forgive them" When the poor came to him, he blessed them. 


I know that I have so many things, a lot of it is junk, as Christmas comes closer I will obtain more "stuff" but there are people who own nothing but the clothes on their backs. I have so much that I can give, what stops me? I honestly don't know the answer to that question. I want to give and share but why don't I? Maybe I value my possessions far more than I should. We come into this world with nothing and we leave with nothing. So technically, that means that every possession we own, doesn't really belong to us. We're borrowing it whilst we're on this earth. If the world didn't value "stuff" so much, every one would be more satisfied. People say money doesn't buy you happiness, I don't completely agree. I think it buys happiness for a while, but it will never buy satisfaction. Some one spends their whole life saving for  this one object because the media or their friends have told them that it's amazing and that it will bring them happiness. And they buy it, and it does make them happy! For a week or two they're overjoyed with this "thing" that they have, but then they see an advert for a car or a new phone and suddenly, they want that instead. The thing that they so desperately wanted, when they have it, they suddenly see it's uselessness. True happiness comes from serving other people. I'm not talking about becoming a slave, I'm talking about helping others. Some people might spit it back in your face, but the people who accept your help and are grateful, that will make you happy. When you make someone smile or say thank you or laugh, don't you feel all bubbly inside? It makes you happy knowing that others are happy. It is impossible to be happy when you are walking through a street with children dying both sides of you, a war zone in front of you. And not just because you're scared you could die, but because you see suffering. Unless your a sadist you can't smile when you watch destruction and suffering. But when you help those people, when you make a child smile, then you start to smile, knowing that you just made someone else's life worthwhile. If you're unsatisfied with life and don't feel that your life is worthwhile, it's because your not doing anything worthwhile! I can spend my time playing computer games, reading novels, lying in on the weekends, arguing with my sisters, these are all pointless things which do absolutely nothing. If I didn't do these things and instead I spent time with God, I helped my mum with the tidying, I went and spent time with old people who are dying and with newborn infants, then I would see the meaning to this life, I would be humbled. 


Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go at anyone, I do it too! I live an unsatisfying life because I am selfish and I place too much value on worldly things. I want to be humbled and full of love and grace! I can't do it on my own, that's why I need God to help me. To ask him if he will soften my heart and open doors to help people. I need him to help me get rid of the selfishness in my life and give me a heart of love. I am going to mess up, it's going to happen because I am only a human. I need God to help me, but even if I don't change, even if tomorrow I go shopping and buy lots of clothes and ignore the homeless guy on the street, God still loves me! I can't stress this enough!! You are free by grace! God died so that we don't have to earn our way to heaven, if we accept him and ask him into our lives, we are going to heaven!!!!! *CELEBRATE* but I want the most out of my life, I want to live a life full of love. 


God love us so much! He thinks about us all the time! He can't take his mind of us! We are free! We are children of God! I read this the other day, it's a love letter from God, they are all verses from the bible put together to make a letter of love from our creator God. I just read it and it is quite long so I will put it on a separate post... Please read it, it's amazing!!

Let it snow!

As I'm sure most of Britain did, we woke up this morning with snow!! So that means we're not at school today :D Yay!! I have put a couple of pictures here because I never put pictures on!



This is a picture of my sisters foot and how far it sinks in the snow!! It's even higher in some places, a bit further down the road it's up to our knees!


 This is our lovely puppy called Pip, she loves eating the snow!

 This is in our garden.. and our other dog called Jazz, she prefers knocking our snowmen down to eating them!!!

Me, my sister and my brother starting a snowman!





























The next day, I then finished it off and took lots of photos with different outfits! The last picture is my very bad editing skills putting the snowmen family together... We don't have photo shop unfortunately!

That's all for now, just pray that the electric doesn't go out! It's freezing already!! That's the trouble with living on a farm!

Incredible Love...

I decided to write a list of some amazing books because if you haven't read them then you're missing out big time! So here goes, my favourite books (in no particular order!):
Compelled by love (Heidi Baker), Always Enough (Heidi and Rolland Baker), Chasing The Dragon (Jackie Pullinger), Moving In The Prophetic (Greg Haslam), Story Lines (Mike Pilavachi and Andy Croft), More Than Conquerors (Simon Guillebaud), and The Holy Bible.


Anyway. I was writing this post because I had read something in Story Lines which I found absolutely incredible. I always used to think that God was a bit harsh and a bit angry in the old testament and couldn't understand Him...As a bit of background to the bible if you've never read it, God created the world and made People (Adam and Eve). The world and everything in it was perfect, just as God intended. God's presence was with Adam and Eve and He loved them. God gave humans freewill and they ended up turning their backs on God. Each generation after that continued turning their backs on God and became 'unclean' and rebelled, but because God loved them He wanted to still be with them so He created these laws for them to be purified so that His presence could still be with them. The people didn't follow these laws and they ended up making idols and worshipping "Gods" made of wood and Gold. They even sacrificed their children to please theses man-made "Gods". This is an amazing example from the book I've been reading. Now imagine this:
    Your best friend gets married. She loves him with all that she has but she comes home one day and finds him having sex with another woman. How totally heart-broken she would be. Instead of walking away, your friend chooses to forgive her husband and continues with the marriage, still loving him as much as she did before. She comes home a week later and this time he's sleeping with somebody else! The months go by and he sleeps with anyone and everyone, he does it publicly and without feeling any sense of shame. One day she comes home and finds to her utter horror that he has murdered their children to please another woman. Your friend is beyond devastated; she is totally shattered and absolutely broken. She comes to you for advice. What do you say? If we were God's counsellor and this moment we would've said "God, you've given it your best shot. She'll never change; she's had way too many lovers. It's not just that she has broken your heart, she's completely humiliated you! You've done everything you can to save the marriage. Now for your sake, walk away- no one would blame you!" An issue some have with the God in the old testament is why he got so angry; our honest question, having read this, is why didn't he get more angry?


Wow. I just think that is incredible. I mean I wouldn't blame God if he gave up on us, in fact I'd probably even advise it! Instead, he sent his only son, Jesus, down to earth. To live as a man and then die and pay the punishment we deserve. We deserve total separation from God, we deserve to die, to pay the price for what we did. I used to think that because I had never murdered anyone it meant that I was a good person. Actually, we've all done something wrong. If you say you haven't you just lied. The thing is The Holy, Perfect, Incredible God can't be with us if we aren't completely pure. But he loved us, his creation, so much that he sent his son to die a horrific death that we deserve. The best news is that it's free! We can now be in his presence 24/7 because Jesus made a way, he pulled the plug out so that God's presence can flow again! God planned it from the beginning because he knew we couldn't do it! All we have to do is accept it. Believe it. It's free for anyone, from the murderer to the queen! If I gave you some cake for free, it's still free but it's up to you to take it, and if you do take it, if you then do something wrong, I'm not going to take the cake away from you! When you accept God's grace and love- it's for life. We don't and can't do anything to deserve his love but it doesn't matter because its free! It grace! Gods Riches At Christ's Expense! God loves us when we're good and he loves us when we're not! All we do is accept this amazing gift of Grace. Sounds incredible right? It's true! We will never be able to understand everything about God because we, in our human mindsets could never do what he did for us. Jesus said "Greater loves has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends". Jesus has that amazing love because he willingly gave up his own life for us. Guess what.. There's more. Not only did he die for us to cancel our debts forever, he rose again! He CONQUERED death! He slapped death in the face and rose above it! If we simply accept what Jesus has done for us then our sins are wiped away forever! I bet there's one thing you've done that you would cringe if anyone found out, well God wiped it off the slate. It's gone, forgotten because he cancelled it out and payed the price. All we do is choose to accept it.. or turn away. We have the choice because God gave us free will.

What do you choose?
