Today I am thankful for a day of rest...And things that I have learned.

So...its hard sitting, reading and thinking-I know it probably sounds like a great day to most.It is dont get me wrong, but what I struggled with today was handing my day over to the Lord and glorifying Him..Yes as I get up and go about a working day or a day full of plans I find it a simple joy to glorify Him in all I do.However give me a day of leasure at home and I seem to fill it with many visits to facebook, eating random food such as two eggs and a slice of cake for breakfast..coffee and cake for lunch and popcorn for dinner!!very nutritious indeed.Other activities of the day included mulling over the thought of going for a run..so much so that Ive almost convinced myself I have!!
Key things missing from my day...the Word and prayer.

You see my focus was not on the cross...and so I was lost.

Before I used spend many a day wasted like today...I'd be waiting for something to happen, to have some purpose to my day. You know whats also crazy..I began to relax into this self-pity,waste of day so fast that I forget to look out the window and realise He is there..all around me.I almost subconciously avoid looking out cause I know the beauty of the trees at the moment with there leaves vibrant with firey colours scream out HERE I AM.

And so I wasted my day...I did not glorify my heavenly Father, I had my head stuck in the sand-avoiding all the truth, avoiding the only answer to why I felt demotivated, slugish(bar all the cake I had eaten!!), uneasy, lost and generally dark..the only answer was that I was not in my place with Him,I was not willing to be used by Him to glorify Him. I was being me without Him and I am nothing without Him.

Even though I did waste my day, God still turns the bad into good..He has shown me that yes these days may come when I will waste my day but He will never change and He is always there, with all of us through all of our days..whether we want to believe it or not, whether we want to except Him or not, whether we have ears to hear or eyes to see He is still there, Always.

Now I must turn to Him, repent for such a wasted day and thank Him..for once I was lost but now am found was blind but now I see.

Ok so now I think its time to go for that run..Ive eaten enough cake today to do me three birthdays!!
God Bless!

So yes as Katie Tunstall says in her song Weirdo..."Still a weirdo after all these years"... yes yes I truely am. All my 23 years or at least what I can remember of them I've been unique,quirky even. I think we all must feel that way, that we are extra weird compared to the next person..we see it every day, people trying to fit in , be it with there clothes,lanuage, music, taste in films, hair do's, hair donts, tan..too much tan, no tan at all, friends, opinions, bringing each others group down so the one we are in, the "norm" we fit into seems like the "right" one. Are we..no matter what group we fall under or how much we try not to be in a group.. still trapped in that cycle of not comfortable in our own skin?? Yes some days its easy to say "well yes I am comfortable in my skin and happy with who I am" but how many days are there with the doubt,the unsureness, the self conciousness, the unsatisfation with our own bodies, our own minds, ...

Have you ever noticed things happening in your day or events happening in your life when you say to yourself..that was just weird, not normal or no one could have forseen it..like incidents were planned to happen, ment to happen but there was no way you or anyone else could have seen it coming...or even planned it for that matter! Its weird when that happens isnt it. For me its been happening a lot lately, but I really do think it was always happening in my life and also in your life but we just dont see it, or if we do we write it off as being some odd coincidence. During this summer I've been longing to study the bible more and more..ok so that doesnt sound like everyones cup of tea but it is mine-its like a big mug of barrys tea to me! Friends of mine have and are studying in a bible college in Siegen, Germany (Calvary Bible college). The more and more I heard about the bible college and studying the word, the more I grew excited about having the opportunity to study and tau...

For when I am weak, then I am strong.

The testing of our faith, the trials...to persever, to grow weary...finding our strength in Him. For the past four days I have been wrestling with my own heart. Battling with my flesh, pressing forward even though much of me just wants to stand still but I dont like to stand still, if there is one thing I dont like the most of all is not getting to know the Lord new each day and just giving into self-pity and this want to put a hault on time. Yes, life is ever changing and moves happen, new people come, others go! Yes, family are missed and friends too, and of course I dont have answers for people when I am asked where?... what?.. when? and Why?...but none of that is anything big when my vision is set on Christ. This morning I continued to read in Psalm, amidst Psalm44 there is a gem, in verse 8 it says:  In God we boast all day long, And praise Your name forever. No matter what is going on around us, or how we think we feel, we must be open for ...
