I had a Feeling that I belong

Hi guys its been ages since I've had a free moment to blog. I thought it was about time I did so what new with me. I have started a bible course on theology which is very challenging but it is very interesting. I started doing more waitressing much to my dismay it is very boring.

Recently I start to question who am I? Where to I fit in to this big master plan that so many people talk about. Well I don't know much but this I know I fit in. I have a feeling that I belong know matter how different I am to everyone else.

On a different note I came to the realisation while walking home with my dog. Lets just say some of my best thinking moments have been spend while walking that dog. I find the best theologists are those who look on life with simplicity. We don't have to have the brains or meerly the looks just the ability to see life the way God sees it.

So for me to truely know where I fit in I should really start thinking and reminding myself  who God is and what he truely thinks of me. So from now one I am going to do this and try to documents my finding on the voice of God.

So look forward to read each week.

Thank you for reading.

It Is Time!! Stand up

Hi if anyone reads this still but I know I'm writing for someone to read. Lets do a recap since my last blog I have been to an interview down south where lets face the job was amazing and I was thinking of moving there for a moment.Then after not a lot apart from these very recent riots that hit London, Manchester and then later Liverpool. In these recent circumstance I think What if . But could spend are whole life on what ifs buts and maybe we would be constantly going in circles.

Well this what I think we all have a path right that we most take and a lot of the time we live in fear of whats next but we defo shouldn't. I prayed about the recent riots in are city that would stop and people wouldn't fear to go out after and this is what God gave me:


'He will cover you with his feathers,
   and under his wings you will find refuge;
   his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
 You will not fear the terror of night,
   nor the arrow that flies by day,
 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
   nor the plague that destroys at midday. ' Psalms 91v 4-6 


He always protects us and its so easy to be right under the line of fire so to speak and to think about giving up. I can honestly say I've had a couple weeks I've felt like giving up and thinking that's the only way, but do you what that's whats shaping us in to people of God.
We have to carry the light into the darkness and remember God is the light of the world and his flame never goes out.

And now is the time to stand up and speak up and step up to the plate I am telling myself this its scary. We know these are the signs of his coming and we should be doing something as there is still some good people in this world as well as bad. Not to say we can't help the bad. We have a big fight ahead to fight.

I hope this hasn't freaked you out and has encouraged you comment below thanks

Beyond The Madness

Well I most admit I haven't had a clue what to write about Hench the lack of blog. I've been busy very busy but also not very busy to so I have no excuse.  This what gets me I've had all this time but what have I done with it. That's what God has really kicked me up the butt about.

Am I really a Martha or a Mary? to enlighten if you don't know the story I shall give u a brief overlook Martha and Mary where sisters and they invited Jesus to there home to stay right and Mary was sat at the feet of Jesus listen while Martha was very busy preparing everything she then complains about how Mary isn't doing anything . Jesus then reply and said 'you are worrying to much ' basically he was say she need to stop worrying about what she was doing and to start listening. I sometimes have to stop myself from being to busy and trying to please God as much as I can I miss what he trying to say sometimes. Sometimes we think to just sit and listen Is lazy but those are the best moments. I myself have had many amazing moments just walk my dog to the park and admire the beauty. I have to take my mind out of the madness to look beyond it all.


I still have to say I'm not perfect right I still learn things everyday from God things I've heard before but shown to me in a new light. I would love to be a Mary everyday but occasionally fall into Martha I suppose your not human if you don't.

To finish off my advise is this try you best to step out of the madness even if you have to take a imaginary dog for a walk. Start listening cause you know what the best place to find God is in the stillness When All Is Stripped Away.  I will do the same and lets see how many answer you get to those questions you've been nagging God about for years.

God bless

Give it all up for him !!

Hi I have started a fast today so I'm gonna write everything that God speaks to me about and hopefully It will bless you.
Day 1- Sunday - Remember that Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart !!
Also sometimes others are going to take the lead so you most follow .God is going to humble you. Go where God is leading even If you think you getting pushed to the back so you can have team work. Humility John 10v1-6.Isaiah 61v1-3-Bind up the broken hearted !!

Day 2- Monday- God is Holding you together -Laminin molecule and he will sort it out !
If you don't this its How Great is Our God http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KqziOKZ4AE
believe me this blessed me.
You will grow weary but God will renew your strength. I will Fear no evil for my God is with me.
Day 3- Tuesday- This was housegroup was on the prodigal son and I most admit didn't really get much out of it but I looked other some old notes that kinda spoke to me anyways. Ephesians 3v14-20
God love for you is far deeper than we can fathom.

Day 6- Friday Look after your sisters always have sister in the Lord to spend time with. Sisters are anyone that is female in the church they are the people you go to if you going through the wilderness. Praise God even if you don't feel like praising him.

Final Day- Sunday Matthew 6v19-24- Stop storing up your treasures in things that are going to mould and get ruin start storing them in him right ok cool .
Sometimes the best fights are fought in the desert and the valley places when all is stripped away we have to go there to grow into a better person.
So my finally word are this spend time with God cause you will be surprise what God talks to you about. He I so massive compare to are tininess. He loves are heart and everything about it and he is always waiting for us to run back to him. So my advice to you is this Give it all up and start walk or running back to him cause he is just waiting to throw his arms around you and tell you how much he loves you.
God bless love

Is this one for the people?Is this one for the Lord

Well since my last post I've had many times with God the best times you spent are mostly just listening. I've found I have thought I could go it alone leaning on my own understanding so to speak it hard but true. Well If I was to tell you everything I have heard from God I would actually have to write a book called what God says or something but who can tell the true mystery that he has to say. What I will tell you that the best has yet to come and we will have struggles of life that we most face before we have a victory. The reason for the name of this post is this I have spent most of my time listening to

 Dc talk song -What If I stumble ?

Yes I most admit most recently I found it very hard that everything is going to be good. I am unemployed still living with my parents and 23 almost 24 and when faced with friends around you marrying ,having kids and basically living independently kind makes me think what have I done. I might be unemployed but you know what God has me here for a reason beyond my control. I’ve come close to moving out many time but wasn't ready or my mum got sick but do you know what I now don't regret it and when I finally leave I'll know it for a good reason. And who truly know Gods plan hey. I would rather acknowledge Jesus with my lips than deny him by life style.

Christianity and believing is hard I'm telling you there is times when I've though what I stumble ? and you know what he always reminds me of what he has done for us. While we was still sinners he died for us he could but have took the easy way out but he didn't.
So on my final note remember these things . God loves you !! He died for you!! and He already won the fight. Don't deny what he has done and start acting like your a Christianity the last thing non Christians want to see is a fake Christian lead them the wrong way. And you know what I know its hard I've been there got the T-Shirt and the hat and the book and all the what if this or maybe this life would be so much easier if you could skype God.

 I'm writing this at 2am almost so most b wise. Final words are these:
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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” Jeremiah 29v11-14.
God Bless

'Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air'

'Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need To see me through

Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you've got the love I need to see me through'

You have no idea how music can effect you mood at the right time'

http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=PQZhN65vq9E

It is funny how your life can sometimes reflex music but believe me I have felt a lot like throwing the towel in so to speak in the past week or so from my last blog.  And I agree I find it tough alot I mean I used to be the shyest person ever never used to speak to anyone.You can usually tell when there is something I really stressing about or worried about as I try my best to fade into the background alot. And I've done that a lot very recently. There is times when I feel rubbish quiet honestly that something Ive prayed about do not go right what so ever or really don't know what God has to say. 

When I moan at God I moan about everything but Love,relationships,marriage so eventually moan 'when this going to happen blah blah blah' and I give in and finally STOP! and that when he speaks to me. If your a women reading this your probs thinking I do this all the time. Well I don't Its usual what I think about yes but never moan at God its always been that thing I don't talk about just you take it Lord I don't care but really I do!! 

So this is why this weekend was so amazing to me Friday some of the women of are housegroup decided to go to Manchester to a meeting for Women obviously I didn't expect a thing just nice music and a chance to talk to women but what I got far more than I bargained for. First a verse that has followed me everywhere Isaiah 61v1 mostly 'The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,' That one it made me listen or to start then the preach got up and she started to speak about being seated in heaven places and how much he love us and stuff I was like I've heard this before. Then she talked about the worries of life and I was thinking on like pain and suffering that sort of thing. 'NO your worries can be anything' she said ' Stop worrying about finding Mr Right this is a worry of life root you self in things of God not this' Let just say crying and lots of it embarrassingly. 'Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things'  
Colosians 3v2. So what ever was said on Sunday kinda followed it was God tell me how much he loved me and to lay down everything. Need to start carrying tissues seriously. I have defently layed it down no doubt about that.

Its not like it stop there it carried on till Monday so UCB spoke to me to will save that for next blog. So remember God Loves you stop listening to the worldly things and worries that seriously annoy you and go to God at the end of the days worries of life always get you Down But remember he got love to bring you through !!  And Stop Moaning about it or Him and Start Listening ok !! God bless thanks for reading !!

Just keep Running...

I started my week to be honest quiet tired after a full weekend of God speaking to me in so many ways.
You know the Monday blues when you know that the fact you have to get up and go to work in the morning and make an effort . Let just get this right I'm a volunteer which means I work a lot and I get nothing in return right but you know what I love it so much to know is having a servant heart at the end of the day.

So I eventually get to Tuesday which is housegroup day the day I always look forward to every week and this week funny enough was the subject of perseverance- Not giving up. You can possibly imagine I needed to hear and it would later become my motto for the week I took it all in that we need not give up till God gives what he has given us keep on knock despite the answer. I know that God is constantly tell me to step up and do what he has told me to do and I stop cause struggles of life get me down.

Now let me explain how it became my motto the next day Wednesday was my last day of work for the week as I do 3 days a week. And believe me I had one of those day when working with kids,where all of the kids kick off at once.
I had two fighting, one swore at me for no reason just because I told him off, then two kids started crying and then another just started to pinch and punch people. You wouldn't believe that was actually a quiet day I tried my best by shouting at the top of my voice but that just made them louder. It wasn't until I started to sing they stop and much to my amazement the song that stop them was 'jingle bells' yes ! .
Now I was think of shouting for help but I like was no preserver lizzie don't give up ! talk about working under pressure or what.
Now to think about It I will use this situation later in life.

So remember do not give up on what God has told you to do or told you to say or whatever it is just don't stop persevering even if your getting shouted at, punched, hit or anything just remember speak truth in love cause who know who is watch and is think wow that person really does love God.
'Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 
 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart '
Hebrews 12v1-3

Hope this blesses you in some way and isn't to much of a ramble

bye for now x

Love is..

You know what this might be my first blog but I read enough I thought I might write something for you. I started my weeks statuses with the words of 1 Corinthians 13 aka the love chapter to most people.

Why? Not only is It one of my favourite verses in the bible I most admit breaking it up over the week has help me To find the mean more clearer. What does this say to me well before you read it in full after I’ve finished the statuses.
I say to you that I have always known God is love and this verse describes how we should live are lives as an a example of how God loved patiently and kind. Its not talking about the soppy kind of love where the ooh and all that it the love that surpasses all understanding love that is unconditionally I bet you all think ive heard this one before right.
No the truth is we should live each day and speak truth in love with Gods help and with a heart that isn’t out to gain a buck or bum on seat it about reflecting the presence of God through his love.

'If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.'

If I leave this life just sharing Gods love in his way rather then bringing anyone to Christ I will be happy.
 I say the greatest blessing is to show your love in God way not by your own gain but just for the true compassion of the Lord.
