Delirious? and Cornwall!

Hey! I'm sorry for no responses on here for ages. I was thinking about stopping blogging, but I've decided to carry on, as especially when I go abroad it will be a good way to keep in contact with people.

I have done a lot recently. The picutures below are from the Delirious? concert we went to in Newport just over a week ago. It was a great night! Tim Hughes sang first, and as you can see we were pretty close. The funniest thing was when we got there, the security people at the front asked us who was playing, they had no idea what was going on. So us and the people near us said to them it was delirious? a big Christian band. They just looked at us as if we were crazy, and then asked if they were any good. And we said yes! They were there to stop any problems, and of course nothing bad would happen here, but they weren't to know. When people started to worship though their expressions were even funnier, with people having their arms in the air in praise, and their eyes shut in prayer. Lol :) I will never forgot their look when we were singing Our God is an Awesome God, and then Our God Reigns.... I think that will stick with me for ages. I think they were completely taken aback by how powerful the evening was, and what a great witness Tim and delirious? were.

We were in Cornwall last week, which was great. The weather was bad on some days, but great on others. We stayed in our grandpa's house which is part of a housing estate and they have a tennis court between them, so guess what we played every day?! We also went to a local church there, and got to know the youth really well. We acted really stupidly, so it was funny when they really wanted to do things with us. We ended up going bowling with them, which was fun, Tom almost broke the whole lane?!?! Anyway we look forward to going there again hopefully in the next hols. Our grandpa was also down there, it was a great chance to see him, as we don't get to see him much. The hols were great.

I also got this great line from a meeting down there...Love is spelt TIME, and how powerful is that!

I have been worrying about things recently too, as I have a lot going on in the next few months. I have a driving test next week, which I'm not sure if I'm ready for. A university interview next month, and then spending 5 months abroad. However it hit me, why worry, as God has a purpose for me, and if it involves me passing my test next week then I will, if it doesn't then it is part of his plan for me. Above all, God reigns.

I will try to write more in the next few days, and get the blog going again.
In the mean time, God bless you guys!





I added this picture as it was us down in Cornwall in the summer and I loved the time then! This is my Aunt and baby cousin Katherine, who is sooo cute!! I love looking after her!

God be my strength, be my guidance

God you are AMAZING!!!!
I can't believe you died for me, and for my sins. I am so grateful for everything Lord, and for you giving me the opportunties you have. I have come to realise how even hard times are great chances to grow in you. I am happy with everything in my life as I know you are always with me. God please help me to keep a smile on my face as I do things, even if they are hard, and help me Lord to choose the right choice in situations where I can show your glory. I pray you cleanse me Lord and keep me clean, and help me to keep my thoughts always on you and to praise you in all that I do. Please pray for me that would be so cool.

I'd like to keep the North Korean's in my prayers too, as their situation is so hard in the dictatorship. I didn't realise how bad it was until they tetsted their nuclear bomb today. On tv they said that the people have no idea what is going on in the outside world at all. There is only
one tv channel controlled by the government and one radio station with all others blocked out. The peopl are so disillusioned by the government that they even think they are in better postions than most people in the world. How dreadful is that? God's people need our help, as how are they ever going to hear about our saviour Jesus. They are crying for us, and are desperate for the Word. Please pray for them too.

'For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son Jesus Christ to save us all' and 'He created us all in his image'
