Didn't last very long...

So turns out that wasn't the last post... I'm bored and felt like blogging. I've just emailed 5 people who have moved away to do things God has called them to do and now I feel a little bit jealous that I'm not on such a grand adventure! No, I take that back. My life is a pretty big adventure, I just wish it would get a bit more exciting! I mean, I really want to go abroad and do something like go to Kenya and teach primary school kids or go to The Ukraine and help street kids, or go anywhere that needs people to help the poor. I know everyone says the rich need to find Jesus as much as the poor but that's not my heart! My heart is to help the poor, particularly children and I'm going to feel restless until I'm out there helping. I love feeling needed and I just don't feel that right now. My 2 best friends have moved away to go to a music college, which is an awesome experience for them, but that just means that I don't even feel needed by them anymore. I don't mean to sound selfish but hey, isn't that what  blogs are for? My passion is to be in the heart of the action, helping people in a physical way just like Jesus taught us to in the bible. I keep praying for an opportunity to go somewhere but God's going to need to provide in a big way. My parents wouldn't be to happy about me going abroad but if it was definitely from God then they would support me. If God wants me to stay here for longer then I will, but I just feel like I'm not doing much. I wish I could be of more help to people who really need my help. I don't have much to give, I'm not special, I'm from a small town in England with a passion for Jesus and the poor and I feel like I want to do something with my life. Anyway, rant over! I feel satisfied with pouring out my feelings onto a page which nobody reads, it's quite cathartic.


That said, life is good. I'm a pretty laid back, happy person (you'd never guess that from my posts though!) and enjoy life for the most part. I know some lovely people and am completely in love with Jesus, I want to get to know him better though because I know I'm not living in the fullness of His power and I know I would be so much more satisfied with life if I was. If anyone is reading this and has a bible on them (Or just type it into Google) read Isaiah 58, I've been re-reading it over and over again this past week. It's so beautiful! When I think about God, it makes me happy :) So I can now leave this blog in a good mood again because I've just been thinking about Him. Jesus is awesome! I literally wouldn't know what to do without Him.

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!

Another school day... with a twist :)

Had a good day today, well, it started off badly. But by the end of the day it was awesome! Mfriend- a different one, who isn't a Christian- was sat next to me in R.E. I had brought my bible today (glad I did!) and she was asking me about the end times and what will happen, etc. I started telling her about Revelation and she was really interested. She said that she really wanted a bible to read so I gave her mine on a long-term borrow! I will try and get her one as soon as possible, God is so good!! I pray that you would speak to her through the bible God, that she would read things that you want her to read, open the pages on something that will change her life! Thankyou so much for all my friends and the great conversations I have with them!!!I really pray she would come into school tomorrow, joyful and blessed by what she has read and that it would captivate her! Amen!!
Great things are happening! Anyone out there, keep praying!!! Change will happen, and it may start with the Youth
WE WORSHIP AN AWESOME GOD!
