So...Ive spent the last hour chopping and squeezing lemons. yumyumyum. so I thought this blog would be all in yellow :D

oh what a joy it is, to spend your days chopping lemons. woopwoop. So yesterday I helped my Spanish teacher with the open day all day, which I thought would be pretty easy, but actually was NOT!! man alive...I was soso tired by the end of the day. But then I went to Notting Hill Market to get churros con chocolate, and that was a bit silly, as I'm lactose intolerant, so then I got rather ill. But yeah, so I won't be eating anything with dairy in it...ever...again. :[

So yeah, the explaination as to why I've been squeezing lemons for the past hour. It's was one of my best friend's birthdays last Sunday, but I couldn't see her, so this week at FLEX our Bible study, Im throwing a mini suprise party for her! Now, she's like me with food, and like me can't have sugar or dairy, so Ive made her a strawberry dairy and sugar free cake which is going to be totally scrummy, I just know it!! And now I'm in the process of making some lemon and lavendar sorbet, but there is some sugar in that, but not too much of it (:

So yeah, WAHEY! Ooh and yeah, Ive been looking after a woman at church's chinchilla Yoda, and usually she gives me a gift of money, but this time she bought be a beautiful, hippyish bag from India!! :D Im so excited and sososososo happy!! :D And praise Jesus, me and Andrew are getting on fine now...well amazingly actually! XD because my God is great. (: *love you JC*

Anyway, i guess this is toodle-pip!

More soon (:

So, I went to see The Lion King last night, it was pretty good!!

Had an argument with my boyfriend, kinda ruined everything.

Not feeling so great today.

But I know that if God wants us to be together then we will be.

What God has brought together, man cannot separate.

Genesis

So yeah, at the moment I'm reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, and I think she's pretty cool!! The story is GREAT, think I'm gonna invest in a copy, this one belongs to the library! But I have no idea how no one guessed that it was infact a woman writing, and not a man. It's so clearly a woman's writing!! XD

Well, tommorrow I'm helping at the college open day, in the Spanish department, and that should be fun.

I get paid twenty-five pounds! :]

anyway, I'd better be off to my History lesson now.

The earth is the Lord's

Well, I need to sort my life out. I'm not spending time with God, I'm not looking after my body, I'm not doing very well.

So, from now on, I am sorting things out. I have intolerences to lactose and sugar, so I am cutting them out. (natural sugars are ok.) and I am going to make sure that I have a God time every day, and that I'm putting Him first in my life. :] Good?

1.

So, I was feeling bad about not being the woman of God that I'm supposed to be, and because earlier today I let things get a little too passionate with my boyfriend, only for a second, but still, it's not what God would want! And I was feeling really ashamed and terrible, thinking that God wouldn't want me back, and I was led to this passage in Isiah:

Forget the former things;

do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not percieve it?

Isiah 43 v 18-19

And then I realised that God loves us SO much, that he doesn't dwell on the past. He doesn't scold us when we come back to Him after ebing bad, but rejoices with gladness at seeing us coming back! He just wants to get back to spending time together, and he forgives us if we ask for it. My God is incredible, kind and amazing!

2.

Over the past few weeks (well actually my whole life really!!) I have been eating healthy on and off, and now I really need to prioritize my life. God comes first, and what God wants comes first also. I have realised that God has given me this body, and it is my responsibility to look after it, and make sure I am putting only good things into it. This was confirmed to me by this verse from 1 Corinthians:

Don't you know that you yourselves are Gods temple

and that God's spirit lives in you?

If anyone destroys God's temple,

God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred,

and you are that temple.

1 Corinthians 3 v 16-17

And this has made me realise that God wouldn't want me to be putting harmful things into my body, would he? God has given us so many lovely, delicious, natural, unharmful foods to eat, and I should be happy and thankful for it! Also, with my allergies, I still eat the things I'm not supposed to, and yesterday I had a small amount of grated cheese and I ended up bedridden, not being able to breathe and crying because I was so scared. Also, it is medically proven that eating things that one is allergic to releases toxins into the body, just like the toxins in burned food and in additives, and these cause all sorts of diseases, the main one being cancer. In my opinion, this is God warning us that we shouldn't be having things like that. So from now on I am going to eat as naturally as I can, with the Lord's help, ofcourse. :)

So, its goodbye and God Bless for now!

Speak to me if you like <3

The most amazing morning

I have had the most amazing morning!! Andrew and I were on the bus, and the woman sitting next to him asked him what he was reading, and he told her it was a book about a chinese Christian called Brother Yun. She thought it sounded really good, and then I got the verse from the Bible that says 'The earth is the Lord's and everything in it' and I remembered that actually, the book isn't ours to have, it actually belongs to the Lord, and therefore, if He wants someone else to have it then so be it! And at that very moment, Andrew turned to me and said that he felt God wanted him to give it to her!! Then we were talking on the way into college about siezing opportunities that God gives us, and I talked about how my friend Helen was on the bus and felt God say that she should preach there, and at the end one man came and said he used to be a Christian, but had fallen away, and there and then he gave his life back to Christ. And then we got into college, and I went down to the careers centre to send of my UCAS form, and I had been really irritated yesterday because I wanted to get it done then, but there were so many people it wasn't possible. And I was so angry that I would have to go in today when I usually don't have any lessons on a Wednesday. Well, I can say that, just as Paul saw God in every situation, so should I. When I got there there was only one man there, and he checked my form and we had the most amazing conversation about God, and he told me that he used to be a Christian and had fallen away, 'lapsed' as he put it. I know now for sure that God wanted me there that morning, to put Jesus into his mind again, and I am certain that some day soon, he will come back to Jesus and get to know Him again. So I am praying for him now. Then I had the most amazing God time on the way back from college, all the way back to my house, and it has kindof just carried on, with a few interruptions, for the rest of the day!! I have never felt so on fire for Christ in my life!! I thought I would write in this blog to encourage others and to share what God is doing in my life.

God Bless
