Love locks of Liverpool

I recently went to the place where all the padlocks are. If you have never visited Liverpool this is the place right next to Albert dock between the museum and Albert docks. These locks contain messages of hope, love and even proposals etc. I stood and read a few messages just trying to remember their visit over where I love you or thank you or even remembrance. I don’t know who started but I’ve looked into the history. It's called the “love locks at Albert dock”. It's supposed to signify an unbreakable bond of love so it sits differently now doesn’t it. It apparently started during the Second World War when women would write the name of their loved ones before they went to war. I’m wondering if I can find a great great relative. Simply beautiful as well and sad all at the same time. What could be more strong than a lock hey. I wonder if they put the lock on and throw the keys away. I’m not sure why I’m talking about this but maybe I will understand soon. Makes me think how important words and declarations are. Those women would write their name on lock in the thought they would never see them again. Sounds a bit deep but in reality it was the truth. It makes me think how much are we willing to give up for love to lock away and throw away the key etc. In the bible Abraham was willing to give up his son of promise to God. Moses left his family to go back to a land that he grew up in and people hated him. It makes me think of promises that I hold on to that need to be given back to God. Or what is the thing that God is asking you to do ? God could be asking you to give up something or to leave or even to stay in the place you’re in. What is he asking you to shut the lock on. It could be a bad attitude or mindset or even judgment. It could even be an opening to say goodbye to the past hurts and look to the future. I don’t know what it is but I hope you are willing to change. 

Hope you guys are well and God bless xx

The Secret Garden

 Hi guys it has took me so long to write on my blog so if there is mistakes you know why. I got the inspiration for this blog while watching on of my favourite films called 'The Secret garden'.

If you haven't watched it or even read the book I will encourage you to do so. I was recently reminded of this story on Good Friday. Well anyways let me tell you the story as well I can A young orphan girl is sent to England to live with her family a uncle and younger cousin. This little girl being very nosy starts to explore the garden and eventually finds a secret door hidden and locked up to the world. Don't want to ruin the story for you behind the door is a secret garden rejected by life which is so beautiful. Recently I have really though of how this can be a metaphor of life I know big word. How many times have we rejected parts of our life that seem to be rejected we feel like it would be better to lock behind a door and let weeds grow in it and life to. After watching it again the newer version of the film its a bit more dramatic if you know what I mean. The uncle has locked up the garden preventing himself from healing. It made me think how many times have we locked up past mistakes or harden our heart to from the pain of things that have happened. If you watch the film there isn't just the healing of the uncle its about here cousin as well and the little girl also. If you truly look at the story with a open mind it is so beautiful. the little girl holds the key to healing literally she hold to keys to tend the hearts of her family. Sometimes we don't realise who helps use to heal. I know in the older version of the film the little girl tends the garden. If your reading this and your not a Christian it’s a bit like God. It says in John 15 about God being the gardener he tends. There also sometime when he needs to cut off the bad fruit in order for us to grow. I know sometimes cutting off the bad fruit can be painful but that how we grow. Making room for the good stuff hey. I think we need to open up that secret door and let life come in. Are you ready ? 

God bless I will be praying for you x

Worrior Woman time to stand.

Hi sisters I say this cause I feel its right to call you this if you read this chances are you like me in someway hey. I actually wrote this last year during lockdown felt it right to share now to encourage women to keep going.

Now to start talking about the title right. Well I first most discussion a warrior. They to me are stronger and more courageous then they might seem. Warriors will not always seem strong and some will seem weak but deep down they are fighting with all there being. To me I have met a few women in my time some have fought the good fight and are still fight. Then others who are still fighting and finally there is people who have given up.

I'm still trying to figure out which one I am I think I'm still fighting but sometimes I've thought of putting the sword down and giving up. Got to be honest sometimes it gets to that point where everything that weighed on you feels like to hard to carry and sometimes you need to take a rest I think. 

One of my favourite film recently has got to be wonder woman I think I've watched it about maybe about at least 10 times . I love the fact that even though a lot of people tell her not to fight she still does it anyway. She knows she need to do something she never gives up.

Especially there is one part of the movie where people tell her there is no hope and she go ahead anyways and fights with all she has. Don't get me wrong we don't have superpowers but we do have someone fighting alongside you.

If you're a Christian or not one I hope I'm not to direct and I hope this blog will challenge you to fight. Are fights are not always easy but we most remember that there is someone who is carrying are weapons for us and fighting our battles. 

Want to challenge next time the battle comes along pick up you sword and remember there is always a sister nearby. 

Ephesians 6 10-18.

 

Thank you

 

 

No longer a slave to Fear

Hi if you ever read my blogs or anything sorry I not wrote for a long time. lets just I've a hard couple of years and most of my writing has been focused to journels and random writing that is sorta turned into a book.

The reason I'm writing this today is a number of recent inspirations and also realisations really. 
I have recently realised how much braver I am than I used to be a strange but interested fact when I was up the radio city tower I looking down and realised if u had said to me 3years ago I would have freaked out.

So I've decided to write this blog to encourage you that fear can be overcome and so maybe hard than others like I'm not perfect yet I still get scared on escalator but I'm getting there.
 To truly understand this I most write done some of the things I was afraid of and how I feel I'm no longer a slave to. 
1. Fear of new people- Used to not approach new people with a fear they wouldn't like me. 
This came to a point of leaving social occasions due to fear aka I left a party and made a stupid accuse to go home. 
2. Self Esteem- Still have a slight time where I feel rubbish but not as bad as use to be. 
3. Mirror image- Hated looking at myself in a mirror fearing that If I truly saw who I wouldn't like me and everyone else would feel the same. 

There is alot more but I'm not gonna voice them cause lets face It, I'm not longer a fear to them and I don't except a life like that. In fact I am not define my fears they made me me In someways but at the end of the day they don't define me. 
This kinda feels like therapy you know if I can help just one person by being so honest I hope I can tears always run down my face. 

What is FEAR ? I don't know got to be honest what I know of it can be powerful and even paralyze you but If you know that there is a more powerful thing and that is God.
 If you ever like watching film one of my favourite quotes has to be from Hunger Games 
'There is one thing stronger than Fear and that Is Hope'. 
If you can hope that even though it seems so scary and you can't move with the fear hope can help you to overcome.
I believe so much I can spend forever talking myself out of situations and feeling trapped but I'm so much braver than I seem. 

Being able to look back today I can say If have perservered and not given up. I still have fears to overcome but you know what I feel like I'm getting there. 
I wanna set you a challenge do something tomorrow that scares whether its getting in a lift or speaking up in a school where everyone speaks lies. Face the that fear soon don't wait around for 10years its boring and not exciting. 
Hope this helps someone today please comment and I will try write something new soon

Don't Be Afraid To Fly !!

Once upon A time there was a bird he want everything but mainly all he want to do was to go further than he have ever before.  But he couldn't his wing was weak and injured all he could do was lift it and all he want to do was fly higher than all the other birds. It was holding him back from who he was and what he want to be.

Then one day a stronger and more powerful bird came along.He started to point out all the things that was wrong with his wing and how he could never fly and how he will spend forever alone in the nest unable to fly. The bird feels like given up and spending forever alone.

Until one day a little girl came to along to the nest picks him up and places him into her hands.
She bandages him up and help him to heal.
     'Don't be afraid to fly no matter how much it hurt you will always have me to help you'.
 She encouraged him never to give up no matter what the struggle and no matter what the other birds say.

Despite the pain and discomfort that bird flapped and flapped his wing to he started fly and as he soured further than he had gone before. He never forgot what that girl had done for him a forever visited her for thanks cause she was willing to care for him each day no matter what the cost. 

The End

No You have read this I want you to read again first you are the Bird damaged and in Pain and alone.
Now imagine that the little a girl is God encouraging you to see the world as he sees it and picking you up and holding you in his arms.
 'Don't be afraid to fly no matter how much it hurts I will always be here for you!'

If I could do it all again!! would you?

If you could turn the clock back and change one thing about your life what would it be and why?
Sounds a bit morbid but think about it if you didn't live this life and you hadn't made the discussions you made today what would you have done.
I started to think of this recently If I could change a thing in my life would it be and why would you change your career path, loves and losses or would you change a mega discussion you.

I challenge you look back to a discussion in your life and think would have I had done different where would I be now. I have an example in year 9 I have choice for GCSE I was really good at two things they was Music and I really love child development. I had to make a choice cause I couldn't do both I choose I knew which ever one

Just Jump In!!!

When you was little was you a wading in person or did you dip your feet in!!

how many time did you walk in slow at the tide and never truly jumped in.


Bet you have no idea what I'm was talking about. I thought about this just a moment ago reminiscing actually how many times when I was at the seaside did I gradually dip my toe into the sea or did I run till I got wet.

I remember constantly running to the sea but slowly as I started to see the water getting closer the speed would slow down and at the edge I would slowly tip toe into the cold to see. Then eventually I would just jump in and swim to get wet so it wasn't so cold.


Why am I talking about this? well how many time do you fear the unexpected are you a person who steps out or you some the stays still and look on as other people jump in. I was think this recently I've got to be honest I have probably been more a sit back and watch as people are getting blessed etc. But If I do this I forever stood at the edge of the sea still dipping my foot in waiting.


When faced with the uncertainty or fear of whether or not I'm going to get hit by a gigantic wave and fall over or my bro comes up behind me and pushes me in that is very like. Why are we in constant fear of what we can see or what we have no idea of ?

I think what I'm trying to say with this blog is Just Jump in!!!

We need to stop fearing that something bad is going to happen and lighten run and enjoy it.


'So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.'-Isaiah 41:10
