A colourful weekend

 February and Spring are in full swing here in Cork and I'm loving the change.
 
There are only 8 weeks left of lectures in college and the months ahead look packed with fun weekends and some challenges but with Spring comes new life and I know that whatever comes my way nothing is a surprise to God.
 
 This weekend thanks to a dear friend who donated some left over paint I started to paint my bedroom. Over Christmas my sister and I changed rooms which has given me lots of room for creative fun. I have to be honest since I begun the 'be creative 2013' project I have been overwhelmed with ideas with things I can do to make my bedroom functional, colourful and pretty. Projects like these take time however and I'll have to do it all in bite size chunks. College, work and life have to go on too :) So this weekend I painted part of my room duck egg blue... I really love the colour. Its fresh and soft and fits perfectly with my cream furniture.




 
 
 I also had these old picture frames that I was given as a present years ago from my nan which had become faded and so they got a makeover too. I love these projects which cost nothing but brighten up the day and the room.
 



I would definetly recommend trying out some free creative ideas. It has helped me through the cold, dark month of January and Im looking forward to what else February has to offer :)

Todays verse from 'verses in a jar' was:

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.    -Romans8:28


Life isnt always easy and sometimes days can feel hard, like a battle, the last few days have felt like that for me but in the midst of them God has so many promises for those who love Him and recognise Him as Lord and I am so thankful for this. Creative fun does help and I do love it. But without Christ I would never have had life like I do now. He makes all things beautiful and I am blessed to get to read about Him and know Him each day. It definetly is an adventure...one which you are never on alone.



Happy Sunday everyone.

Love, Eimear

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...

College year 2012/2013

Its been a little while since I wrote last. When my writing stops or I go quiet, sometimes its because I am kinda standing still in my life in a way...this time it has been because of fear. The last two weeks have flown by...each day has been such a mix, with hopeless moments followed by encouragement from the Lord. His steadfast lovingkindness definetly sums up my last two weeks. College is a huge challenge for me. I am so thankful to know that I'm ment to be there. God has shown this to me clearly through His Word and opened the doors for me to go to college. It was given to me by Him and its a gift I am thankful for it. But boy is it a challenge!! The course I am doing doesnt have a whole lot of class hours, I havnt had that many exams so far and overall it shouldnt be that intimidating, but to me it is. I am 25, (26 next month...mini life crisis ahead!!:)) and I have never been good at dealing with academic stuff. I have always wanted to teach children. Always....
