Best birthday party ever!
I went to my best friends birthday party on friday, it was so much fun! We bought her 16 presents because it was her 16th birthday which she loved! We went to a really nice restaurant; I ordered a chicken breast stuffed with parma ham and soft cheese with sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The food was lovely and we went back to her house for a sleepover afterwards and watched a really good film called ghosts of girlfriends past. It was so much fun! We had some really great conversations and laughed for ages, especially when we used the helium birthday balloon and recorded our voices! It was so funny! Yesterday I went to a Christian Youth conference which was amazing! It was talking about future plans and we prayed and prophesied over each other. Today we made a facebook group for our prayer meeting (Revive) which is pretty cool! It's so exciting what God is going to do at our school! This is another short one because this room is freezing so I'm going to a warmer room in a minute but it doesn't have a computer in it! Chat to you soon!

Revive Prayer Meeting!
We now have a permanent room for our school prayer meeting (Revive)! We were meeting in a maths room but people kept disturbing us or the teacher forgot and locked the door so we couldn't go in. Well, we decided it was time we found a more suitable spot so we are now meeting somewhere permanently until April/ Easter then we can find another permanent spot from there on out. We meet every Monday lunch and sometimes Thursday lunches. Now that we have a room of our own, we can publicise it, so we are going to make some posters and/or handouts- Keep praying that loads of people will be interested in praying with us for our school!
Why can I think of absolutely nothing to say?! Oh well, I guess this one will have to be short! Expect more news very soon!

Our Life
Until it's burning bright for you
It's everything that i desire
Can i be the one you use?
I, i am small but
You, you are big enough
I, i am weak but
You, you are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with you
There's nothing i cannot do
Nothing i cannot do
I wanna feed the hungry children
And reach across the farthest land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the father's hands
I, i am small but
You, you are big enough
I, i am weak but
You, you are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with you
There's nothing i cannot do (x2)
My hands my feet
My everything
My life my love
Lord use me
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
'cause lord with you
Nothing i can't do (x2)
I'm gonna set the world on fire
Set the world on fire
There is nothing I can't do because of My God! Fire spreads so rapidly, it only takes a few of us to be on fire before the whole world is aflame!

New year resolutions
Happy new year!
It's came around again. That time of year when you promise yourself that you're going to walk the dog more often and limit your chocolate intake to once a month... we all know it's not going to happen! I figured that out a while ago. That's why, for myself, I don't like resolutions. They can be really helpful and I'm not saying don't write them! They can be very useful but I find it's just a list that gets stuck to the wall for a month before it falls off and hides itself under the bed.
So I decided to write a list of expectations. Jesus is so cool and he is going to do some awesome things this year. Even though I expect him to do amazing things, I still put him into a box. A box which is labelled "Expected plans and safety". Jesus doesn't like boxes. So here are my proposed new year expectations.
1. I expect to see revival come to my school before I leave this year.
2. I expect to spend time with God more this year.
3. I expect to help lead hundreds of people to God this year.
4. I expect to see revival hit Weymouth this year.
5. I expect God to speak to me more, prophesies from God through others to me and to others from God through me.
I write this down so that this time next year, I can see the amazing things God has done, all the promises he has fulfilled. I realised that by writing this I just put God into a box again so I write another:
6. I expect God not only to fulfil all of my expectations but to completely and utterly surpass them in ways I cannot imagine, to be even more than I expect! I expect and ask that God would be unexpected this year!
I am so excited! God has promised many many things, and he is always faithful. This year is a new year. The end of last year was just the warm-up. Get rid of those boxes, get rid of the safety nets and the comfort. Get God! When we clear all the rubbish out there's more space for God. Don't give him the leftover space; give him first place in your life this year. I'll try too!
Don't worry if we mess this up. Jesus' arms are always open, he loves you unconditionally. Don't be afraid to ask for his help. We won't fulfil resolutions by our own strength but we can do everything through Christ who strengthens us.
I wish you the best and I hope that 2011 is a really good year for all. Have an amazing year! God bless!

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!

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!
