Keeps getting better! Today I had loads of conversations with my friends about God, eternity, sin, etc. God keeps opening doors to share the gospel! God is awesome!
This week has been such a bleesing to me and to my relationship with God, He has opened my ears to hear him better and it is wonderful! I just walked home from sixth form and God painted a beautiful rainbow! It was glorious! I've never seen such a vibrant and colourful rainbow before and just worshipped God! Isn't he a great artist?! I felt Him say "My promises are always over you, I never break my promises or transfer my promises to someone else. What I say will happen, will happen. My promises are over you." And I walked underneath that rainbow all the way home and when I arrived home the rainbow disappeared! Incredible! Thank you God for that experience! I want more!
I'm so excited to see what God is going to do this year, if we all surrender our lives to him he can do so much more! I've felt God speak to me recently about not clinging to anything but him. If we hold our lives in open hands God can give to us freely, yes he can also take away but you need to trust him. God is always good, in every situation he works for the good of those who love him. Let him be lord of everything and you will see incredible things. Bring revival Lord! Turn this nation around, turn my life around so I can be better equipped to serve you and share your love.
Tonight we will be praying for overseas and mission, particularly for our friends who have moved to other countries in obedience to God's calling. God meet with us tonight I pray, come Holy Spirit and teach us how to pray! Help me to worship you without distractions and let your will be done. Amen!

Third day
Loving life right now! God is good! He remains constant; he was, is and will forever be good! Today was good, just returned from the prayer meeting where we prayed for the church, ministry, mission, overseers, leadershi, etc. My small group leader and friend came up to me and prayed for me and afterwards said she felt purity coming from me and that God had a harvest for me, to keep spending time with God and he has much fruit to harvest for me. I then opened my bible and read this "then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine." That was so encouraging! Thank you Lord! Definitely up for spending more time with God and him speaking to me more! Can't wait to see the seeds I've sown harvested as well! Really exciting! Oh more God! More!
I love you Jesus! He is so good. Like I said, I've been praying for my boyfriend whilst he's away this week and we skyped last night and God is doing some crazy awesome things for him too! I won't go into details, it's his life, but God is speaking to him and meeting with him often and I just pray it continues even after he returns from this week! Thank you Lord for what you're doing in both our lives :)
I want to live in all the fullness of God! Let me experience that God, I seek you with all of my heart, let me find you! Thank you that when I seek, you are found.That when I ask, it is done. That when I knock, you open the door! You never leave me or forsake me and I am so grateful! Thank you God! I pray I would never become satisfied with living without you, let me continually thirst for more of you and continually be drenched in your spirit. There is always enough, thank you! Help me to love more easily, even to the people I don't know or have hurt me. Help me to love with your love, shape my heart to be like yours! I pray people would see the way I live and turn to you because of it! Not to us, but to your name be the glory! Amen!

Second day
Topics to pray for today:
Personal – pray for every believer:
Rediscovering “our first love” (Rev 2)
Spiritual ears to be unblocked
Walking well with God
Worshipping Jesus in daily life
Quiet Times with God - hearing his voice
To be full of the Holy Spirit
Strong marriages
Godly families
Honouring singles
Stewardship / financesThis is what our church is praying for this evening so I thought I'd pop it on here so if you're stuck for ideas of what to pray for then you can join us! I think this is such an important aspect of our lives; walking well with God! I want to have quiet times more often, hear from God more often and spend my life worshipping him! I'd love to have quiet times with my boyfriend sometimes too, my best friend and I used to occasionally do that before she moved but I think it's important to spend time with God alone and with other people who are important to you. There are so many benefits of spending time with Jesus, you will feel so blessed!
I find it really hard to try and live and walk in my own strength, I try to struggle against this culture on my own and I fail. I fall down, I get sucked into the world and don't live a life pleasing to God. I need his strength to carry on, I need him to help me. I need to spend time with him to recharge. He loves me when I'm good and when I'm bad. He loves me whether I spend time with Him or not. That's not why we do it. It's so we can experience the FULLNESS OF GOD! Don't you love that phrase? The Fullness of God! I want it! I want to experience the fullness of God, to experience heaven on earth!
If you're a creative person and find it hard to spend time with God why not worship him in creative ways such as painting or dancing or writing a song? God is so awesome! In games you can win and complete levels and even complete the game itself but with God you never reach the end of getting to know him; there's no end! God is eternal, no matter how much time we spend time with him we can never know just how good and awesome and full of love he is! He's just too big for our human minds! But oh it is so good when you spend time with him!
My soul longs for you Lord! Make me more like you! I pray that you would open our spiritual ears Lord, let us hear your voice more clearly! We are your sheep, we know you speak so help us to hear what you are saying! Help us to rediscover you and your love, to always put you first, you are the only God, you are the Lord, help us to stop putting other things before you! Only you Lord! Help us to worship you in our daily life and to spend more time with you everyday. Speak to us more God, give us prophecies and words of knowledge for others but also speak to us individually about our personal lives, speak to us more about your love and your plans and your goodness God! We love you so much! Thank you for giving us your Holy Spirit, thank you that we have your spirit dwelling in us, keep us longing after you, keep us seeking you. We ask for more God, more spirit, more love, more goodness, thank you for your grace! Thank you Jesus!! God help the church to be full of your love and to make a mark on this world, on this culture to change it! Form us to be more like you, living lives that are pure, holy and pleasing to you! Let us honour you with our hearts, minds, bodies and mouths. God we love you so much. I love you Lord! Thank you! You are good! You are the best! Thank you! Show us how we can experience the Fullness of God, show us the way Lord! AMEN!

Week of Prayer and fast
Today has been a good day. I haven't done much to be honest but I just spent some time with God which always makes it a good day! It's so great to have a friend who you can just unload your problems to and know that you don't need to worry about ANYTHING because Jesus is LORD over all. Whatever happens, He will NEVER be knocked off his throne! God is Good! Amen? AMEN!
So this week our church is having a week of Prayer and Fast and I have decided to focus my prayer on three main points (as well as praying for many other things): My boyfriend, The Ukraine and my College. The reasons? Well, my boyfriend is going away for a week on a church week away thing and I felt God ask me to pray for him. I'm praying that he will meet with God powerfully and God would speak to him clearly this week. I pray that he will become even more of a mighty man of God! He's such a great guy I thank God for him so really want to support him in prayer this week as he meets with God. Secondly, The Ukraine- Kind of obvious! I love the Ukraine and it's something on both mine and God's hearts, particularly street children and orphans so I'm praying for God's love to be revealed to them and for their protection. Thirdly, again kind of obvious, I know God's stirring up his power within my college and the lower school too so I pray that will increase and the guys there will be saved.
Life is good, I'm content, I'm happy :) God is awesome and I'm so excited to see what he will do over the next week as the church gathers in prayer. Looking forward to the first collective prayer meeting tomorrow evening and I shall update as I pray and hear from God.
Psalm 36:5-10
"Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
your justice like the great deep.
You, LORD, preserve both people and animals.
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
Continue your love to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart."

Over the weekend..
This weekend has been amazing! My friend and I had a day of prayer and fasting on Saturday. I had slept over her house so on Saturday morning we got up and wrote a list of everything we felt we should pray for. I wrote a list of expectations I wanted God to do throughout that day and he fulfilled every one again!
I found this verse and love it! Matthew 20: 21-22 'Jesus relied "I tell you the truth if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what is done to the fig tree but you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea', and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.'
As we were praying and worshipping I felt God speak a couple of words to me:
1. Last year, Snow didn't fall for ages; we saw signs of it coming and a little fell but it didn't settle or stay long. This year, the snow has came early. [This town] was one of the first places it hit- and settled! The last have come first. God is coming to do amazing works, his spirit has settled on [This town] and he is calling the people to him, he won't fade or melt away, this is it. The time for revival has come. ~ God then spoke and said to me "Open the bible, I want to confirm that" I opened it and read these words "The day of your watchmen has come, the day God visits you."
2. Jesus said he has compassion for the church; he sees we're hungry. He says he will not let us leave unfilled. He will feed the church, this is a promise.
3. God said he wants to change Christmas from a superficial Christmas to a supernatural Christmas. That we should humble ourselves by visiting the dying elderly and the children and show God's love to the poor! Christmas isn't about trees and presents, it's about the love of God, fulfilling a promise to the world.
Later that afternoon, we went treasure hunting. Basically we go into the streets of [This town] and pray for God to gives us clues. We write them down on our treasure maps and go and seek out the clues to bless the people and pray for them. God done some really amazing things! It was such a blessing to know that we were blessing others!
My friend and I also prayed for each other and she said this: "I felt God say you're on an unravelling path! You won't always be able to see what's ahead, but every time you take a step of faith forwards, he is going to keep unravelling the path before you! Keep trusting and putting your faith in him- He knows everything!" This was really cool because I was waiting for God to give me more directions about the future and this really spoke to me about doing what God has already told me to do so he can reveal more as I climb the next hill.
Sunday was also really good. My friend's dad did a preach which was really good. Then on Sunday evening I went to the prayer meeting which was also great! I think I'll try and go more often, it's great praying with other people.
Today we had our school prayer meeting at lunch which was fun too! I don't think praying is ever boring actually! ;) So I've had a really good weekend! That's all for now! I'll keep you posted!
