Easter

During the Easter holidays, many of my friends and their families went away to a Christian conference, called Spring Harvest. This place is meant to be amazing as I've been told my many of the people who have been there. When they went off, and I felt like I had been left in the dark to just sit around and wait for them to get back, so I could be part of the fun!

But then I thought, wait, I don't want to just go to Spring Harvest just become my friends are there. I want to go there because I an be with God. But, I can do that here! Yes there may be a crazy atmosphere with loads of others there. But I can encounter god here, at my home, just as much as at a christian conference.

He died for me, he shed tears for me, he rose again for, and he loved me and continues to love me. forever. Amen

My god is awesome and when he wants me to know something then he will let me know and tell me, I don't have to be somewhere crazy!


For me the most beautiful place for me to talk to my Lord, is a beach about an hour away from my home.
It gives me time to think, and to just be. 
It's peaceful and joyful surrounded by his creation.


I need to take another trip down there soon!! But for now I will meet and spend time with my God here <3

Trust and His will be done

Where it all started

Last year I went on a mission trip for 2 weeks to Uganda, where we worked in a orphanage and primary schools and helped build a new pharmacy for the local medical clinic. Working in the orphanage and primary schools I learnt so much! 

I had an idea of what I was going to expect when I was out there, but when actually out there, it was soo different!! As soon as we stepped of our bus which had arrived at the orphanage, the little children and toddlers came running towards us and honestly, as lovely as it was to give all the babies a big hug, it was heart wrenching. I didn't want to be able to give these kids hugs, and i didn't want them to be desperate to have our attention and love. I wish that i didn't have to go on that mission trip and i wish that i was stuck at home with friends.

Why is it that there is so much devastating poverty in our world today?! One story that stuck out for me, was a 6 month baby girl at the orphanage. When she was born at a hospital with her mother, she was kidnapped and taken away from the hospital where her loving mum was. The police found the kidnapper, but they couldn't find the mum, so they put this little baby girl into a nearby orphanage. There could have been a loving beautiful mummy for this gorgeous girly, but now, she will be a orphan forever, with such a hard future ahead of her.

Last night at my church youth group, my leader was talking about igniting your passion up again, no matter  where it is because NOTHING is impossible for God.  What God is calling you to do, you should go and do it, because NOTHING is to big for god.  This really inspired me to just trust in God, and I am waiting at the moment to see where God wants to take me and what he has instore.

"Heal my heart and make it clean 
Open up my eyes to the things unseen, 

Show me how to love like you have loved me

Break my heart from what breaks yours

Everything I am for your kingdoms cause

As I go from nothing to
Eternity"
Whatever he wants me do, I will go, because by the grace of God, he can do anything.
Trust and his will be done
