Yesterday, I fell in love

Yesterday, I went to a conference center in Derby with some cool people who go to my church. I was going to lead worship with a guy their at a meeting in the evening. The journey was slow and quiet, well, so it seemed. There were plenty of voices around, as the little group of us who went all traveled in the same vehicle, the church mini bus. However, my mind was away-away. It was playing over chords to the music I'd be playing and I was wondering how I'd be able to stay awake as I was already so tired and the day wasn't even in full swing yet.

 

When we arrived at the conference center. We went for drinks and greetings and then were escorted to the beautiful chapel that the meeting was taking place in. As I walked through the chapel doors, I followed my eyes around the beautiful room, the lovely lights and big windows and wooden surrounding and then my eyes caught onto something else which I could not seem to stop looking at. Their, in the far corner of the room was a absolutely beautiful old grande piano.

 

I ran to it, ignoring everyone else in the room. I stood there bent over its case, just in awe of it and I was literally stroking it like a weirdo. Then the man who showed us to the room and who was going to be leading the meeting said to me, "You can have a play if you like." How I remained standing I don't know. I pulled a chair to the piano and lifted the lid. Keys. Lots of lovely piano keys. I gently pressed one down and oh the sound. It was different to an ordinary piano or keyboard, somewhat fresher and more individual, I don't know, but I loved it. I began to play more notes and let my fingers loose for a little while. Every time I stepped away from it, I wanted to go back. I was in love.

 

So there, if you'd like to get me a present anytime, a Grande piano will do just nicely. ;-)

Hold you tight and breath

It seems that so many of my friends are going through a difficult time at the minute.

It's like there's some sort of heaviness in the air, in the atmosphere. Though, it hasn't touched me.

I've read various blogs by various lovely people. What they've wrote is so honest and open, but so heavy and painful. Reading what they've wrote and then I'm wanting to tear my way through my computer screen and get into their world and push everything that's causing them such heaviness and just hold them really tight and give them chance to just breathe, but I cant. Only Jesus can do that. So I'm praying that Jesus would just get through to them and that he will be the person to push all the heaviness away and just hold them really tight and give them a chance to breathe. Love you all xoxox

 

Fully consumed

 

>>>Over the past few months, I've just begin to realise how much i want and need more of God. So many times i put other things in the way, things that causes blockages, stopping me from getting closer to God, not intentionally, but without even knowing. But i just can't do that any more.

 

I'm tired of just going round in the same cycle, one week getting really excited and fired up about God and living the right way for him, then the next week, having a bit of a downer and doing things that perhaps aren't quite pleasing God and binging glory to his name. I don't wanna be like that anymore, i don't want to do it anymore.

 

I just want so much more of God, i cant even explain. I love him so so so so so much, i want to be completely consumed by him and full of him! I want him to be my absolute everything. I want my whole life to be about and for him. Everything! Instead of relying on people, i want to rely and should be relying fully on God.

 

As my tears begin to fall as i write this and as they have many times before, i offer them to God, asking him to take them and see that they are real, from my heart. I just love him sooo much and want to be sooo much closer. He's so amazing and he's done so much for me and so many other people. The least i can do is fully surrender my life to him.

 

I love you Lord, thank you for this life and help me to glorify your name more and more. Fill me up God. xox

 

P.s A huge thank you to Hannah for guest posting on my blog! Love you!!

Neverland is for me

True love waits....

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

 ~ Inside every young women is a princess in search of her true prince ~

Rather than building a love story the way the world does (with a few Christian morals tacked on for good measure) why not go for a far superior way of building a love story…God’s way. After all, God is the One who invented the concept of romance in the first place! 

And God doesn’t need to imitate the world’s way of building a relationship…He has His very own perfect, amazing, beautiful way of writing a love story, and it is far more fulfilling and romantic than anything Hollywood could ever concoct. The foundation for an amazing, lifelong love story begins even before you meet your future spouse, by allowing the Author of romance to script your love story and show you how to love like He loves.

 

 

What does it mean to let God write your love story?  It means realizing that only after you give your heart to God can you ever really give it to someone else.  It means learning to wait.  It means living in the now for your future spouse, and honoring them in your interaction with the opposite sex.  And in the end, it means being set free from the shallow “love” in our culture.  We live for something higher.

Besides…who better to write your love story than the Author of love?

“If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.  And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.  God is love.”

~1 John 4:15-16

I've decided that i'm gonna go Gods way and leave it all in his hands - i cant do it on my own and i need his help and guidance-so i'll give him the pen to write my love story.

In the bible it tells us to

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;" so that's what i'm gonna do from now on. what are you gonna do?

A different feeling...

Oh my dear friends..... im away in another world right now and i dont want to ever come back *sigh* its beautiful..... ahh i guess you all know what i'm talking about?.....what a feeling! It's soooo wonderful!! <3

But i am young - so i shall wait before anything amazingly romantic happens until i am mature enough to take it all in properly.....<3
