So its ALREADY coming to the end of January 2013..hard to believe I know. It has been a quick couple of weeks.  College is back in full swing with only 10 weeks of lectures left this semester, the plan to get my running mileage up is on the go and my read the bible in a year plan is well into Genesis and Matthew. Its been a good month so far!

One thing however which is still not settled is my desire to find ways of being more creative this year! Last year was such a great year. I got to live in Germany, travel to Turkey and stay in China. And this was all before returning back to Ireland in July. Last year because of the grace of God I got to know who I am because of Jesus and what He did more and this included my likes and dislikes. He healed lots and brought so much light, life and joy into my heart. One of the things that I found more and more was this huge urge and desire to be more creative, which is fun but finding ways to be creative was a bit of a challenge.
   
One of the ways I have let some of this desire out is through this blog, but you may have noticed Im not very consistent with writing on it!

Every week I spend time looking at pretty, inspiring and cool things to make and do but I often come up against a  problem in these cool projects. So many of them cost money. No surprise there I guess!  So I have decided that part of my 'be creative 2013 plan' is to once a week do something creative, and something different...but do it without spending a cent. It sounds like a good idea right...who wouldnt want to have fun creatively and different every week and without spending a cent...but how long will this last.

Im excited and a little nervous about this expedition...the weeks go by so fast and really how creative can I be? I already think I dont have enough time for everything on my to do (or think I need to do list!!)...but the excitement for this project wins out! And also I totally think that the fun and journey on the way will be worth it.

A creative project a week...that costs nothing...

Well here goes nothing. Week one begins today!!! I will keep you posted on what this weeks project will be.

Wish me luck!

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 ...
