Yesterday I had a long tiring day. Me and my mates went over to my youth leaders house and we watched all of the extended lord of the rings. The first one and the second one so that was about 8 hours and then we went to the cinema and watched the third one which is about hours! We started at 9 in the morning and finished about 11 at night because we had to eat and stop for a bit. By the third film I found myself falling asleep but it was really good. I'm not going to talk about it in here just in case no one has seen it yet and I give it away.
Today I've got so much coursework and homework to do. I want to get it out the way so I can relax for the rest of the holidays and not worry about it. For my English coursework we've been reading 'The Crucible' it's about witch hunting and killing people and the devil, everything I hate! It's quite a religious book because it's meant to be based in a theocratic society. But the book is boring and the corkscrews is hard.

Wow this is great, people can now leave messages on my blog and everyone can read them. Thankyou matt(my brother) for showing me how to do that :) So now I can read what you think about what I'm writing. I've had a long day today but a good day.
Last night I couldn't sleep so I decided to read this book called soul sista which is good and I was reading this part about destiny. It was talking about how God gives you your heart desires and how you are special and explains how you can use your gifts God has given to you. For example I like singing and at church I sing in the worship band, and I think God gave me a gift of singing (even though I don't think I'm very good, but I enjoy it) and I can use it to worship and praise God. Also my Dad has a gift of talking(and if anyone knows him you will know that) and he can go up to random people and start a conversation with them and then after 10 minutes he could come back to me and tell me all of that persons life and living and what he believes in and that's amazing. So being able to talk to loads of people means he can talk to them about God.

Day after Christmas, I'm feeling the effect today from everything thats been happening, I'm tired and losing my voice. But at least today i can chill by watching tv and playing on my funky new guitar. I decided to clean my room yesterday so i didnt have to do it today. And good job!

*5 days till Christmas*
I got an email today off my friend. The idea of the email was to see who was better: Jesus or Santa? And it started off like this;
'Santa lives at the North Pole ...
JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh ...
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year ...
JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies ...
JESUS supplies all your needs. '

.....and at the end it finishes with;

'While Santa puts gifts under your tree ...
JESUS became our gift and died on a tree.... The cross.

We need to put Christ back in CHRISTmas,
Jesus is still the reason for the season.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16'

I thought this email was an amazing thing to read and great to remember near Christmas.
If anyone wants to read the whole email just email me and ask and I'll send it to you!

Remember me saying that I wanted to start a youth group, well the pastor at my church came and spoke to me about my idea and he suggested that I stayed in the adult meeting and encourage the youth to stay in as well so I could show responsibility. Normally I don't find the meetings interesting but because I was trying to set an example I listened to what was being said. To be honest I actually found the meeting interesting and I learnt a lot from it and it has became helpful in my everyday life. I think I found the meetings 'boring' before because I had a blocked opinion of them.

Well my birthday has come and gone and Christmas is only 13 days away. I haven't been writing recently because I've been busy with work and Christmas. I think Christmas is so exciting because it's a time to be happy and have presents but most impotantly it's the time when we remember Jesus coming to earth as a baby. The king of kings and the lord of lords!

Today had been hard. I didn't speak once but I was tempted to. So many people were teasing me but I'll get them back tomorrow hehe! I was thinking today that people who can hear and talk and move are very lucky. Not being able to talk got me really annoyed and I really wanted to say something and I felt sorry for people who can't communicate. People who can't communicate must have a gift of patience because I know I didn't today, I was banging my feet on the floor and getting really annoyed. But God was with me all the way through it and it will be along time before I do that again.
On another note it's my birthday in 2 days (Saturday) I'm really excited and Christmas in 21 days. I really don't like it when people say 'xmas' it's wrong because its replacing Christ with x as if he no longer existed, I think its extremely offensive.

On Thursday I'm doing a sponsored silence to raise money for this charity called C.A.P which means Christians Against Poverty. The charity helps people in debt and I'm doing this silence for 24hours. Whovever knows me knows that I talk a lot and it would be hard for me to remain quiet. I've only had the idea for 2 days and I've already raised £70 which is really good for me. Please pray that I will be able to do it all and that no one will trick me into talking. Thankyou!

How freaky, I have a GCSE exam tommorow I feel like it has all come so quick and I don't feel ready for it. One thing i am ready for is my birthday which is in 10 days ahh! And christams in 29 days. This year feels different normally I keep thinking about the true meaning on christmas instead of the presents and food and decorations. How God sent a son down to earth to show us how to live and to act.

Well today started off with me being late for church because my friend slept over and we didn't get up till 10. Finally I got to church and I was real tired. At my church during the middle of it we split and the children go out but the youth group have to stay in (which non of us really like because the talking is really boring) so I tried to go out of the meeting with my friend and help with the kings klub but one of the leaders told me to get out. So I decided to go and help my mum in creche because she said I could and the leader came in and told me to get out. I was really annoyed because half the people my age were out of the service. So during the time when I had to stay in the service I was thinking about how it could be changed. And I remembered how I run a c.u at school. So I could run a youth group at church. I feel like God is saying this and I really want to do this one for God because he has done so much for me. And this talk from God couldn't of been a mistake because I was speaking to me mate and he said that he had been thinking about it aswell.

Today what a day. Long tiring and boring really. All i did was revising with my mate for our GCSEs that we have next week.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost but now I'm found,
was blind but now I see.

I just love that song (I have it saved on my computer so I can listen to it). My friend once told me that the first time she heard this song she cried. I can see why, it is really moving and has amazing passion to it.

Just to update you all my mate is better and was at school praise the Lord.

Did anyone watch that programme that was on about a month ago called 'Does prayer work' and they had different religions praying for people in hospital who were about to have an operation and only 50% of the people were getting prayed for. When me and my mum watched this we predicted at the very beginning that it wouldn't work. For one case some people were going to be prayed for anyway because if they were a part of a religion their families would be praying for them. To be honest that program really annoyed me. Oh well!

Relationships have been a big part part of my life during the last two months. Not with just boys but friendship as well. As I've been thinking about it a lot, I found it very interesting that my brother had a link on his site to this magazine article which talks about relationships and why to go into them.

Also last night I was praying really hard and I don't think I have prayed that hard for a while. I really wanted my mate to get better because he has been ill for a while and he has been missing a lot of school and this year is when he does his GCSEs. But when I rang him today he was off school still and was still ill. I don't understand why God would want this to happen but I've only been praying for it for about 24 hrs so I guess I have to pray until something happens P.U.S.H!!!!

I think im getting by now! But for how long?
I just know when I get settled again that the devil will come and trip me up, so should I settle? Should I always expect something bad is going to happen? What is the next turn? How long is the journey going to be? Will I be in it the whole way? Will I ever try and back out?
Saying these questions reminds me of this story I heard called footprints:

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed 2 sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him, and questioned the LORD about it. " LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then when I carried you."

I was going to write something because I have so much in my head but it's all mixed up and I'm all confused!This week my life has been here there and absolutely everywhere. I feel like each day I've gone to a new theme park and I go on all the huge scary roller coasters.

I sang at my friends church today. It was really cool and my mates sis can really sing shes amazing!

It has been a very weird week. I can see that the devil has been trying to attack me this week. Yesterday I had Christian union and we have it in one of the re rooms at lunchtime and about 17 people come. We wanted some privacy so we locked the door because people like walking into the meeting to disturb it. So we were playing this game about fears and I went to stand in front of the door because some of the kids were messing around near it. Then this girl came up behind me and started banging on the door and she came in having a shout asking where the teacher was and she had ago at me. One thing I can is that she scared me when she came up behind me! After that the key had disappeared and we were looking all over the place for it. I was getting upset at this point because I had all this stuff to do in c.u and it was all being wrecked! I then spoke to my friend and said, if we all pray about it it may just turn up and then at that second they found the key. A random boy just brought it to the door, it was amazing. So after that we carried on with c.u. I think C.u is better than it started out at the beginning which is good. I wish more people could come!

So after my stressful week I came home from my mates last night and got the chocolate ice cream and a big mug of hot chocolate and watched a video on my moms bed. That was good!

A very very very stressful day! It started off with a strange man coming to the house and he was waiting there for 10 minutes just sitting in the car watching the house, then he went. I then tried to walk out the house but he came back for another 10 minutes and then he went and came back again. Luckily I got out before he came back the third time but I was really shaken up about it and I was late for school. Then for the rest of the day my hormones were here there and everywhere. I had a mad stress at my mates but they understood and I love them to bits. So, at the moment I'm de-stressing and i have to go and do some chemistry in a bit. I'm so pleased God is on my side!

Life has been slow recently. I went on a GCSE music weekend with the school and there I was really tested by God. I was woken up at 5:30 in the morning by my friends and they put their hair dryers on and put music on full blast. I was really annoyed but I never had ago at them cuz I didn't want to fall out with them. I felt really good about it aswell because when I came home i told my brother and he said that he would of thrown the radio out the window, so I'm pleased that I didn't. Also there was drinking and stuff like that going on and I was pleased that I was never dragged into it. And my mate brought a ouija board and said that she was going to use it in our room where there were three christians in, so all the christians weren't impressed and there was disagreements going on.
Many of my friends have been ill recently and one of my closest friends told me they were ill and he had been ill for a while and I've been getting really worried. So alot of prayer has been going on.
Also exams are drawing near and i never have time to revise and I keep getting worried about it. Everyone tells me not to but I still get that feeling that I need to worry about it. Please pray for me to relax and find time to revise.

Recently I've been helping people and sorting out friendships and relationships and stuff. I do normally when I can but it seems that I've done it a lot this week. I've also had a really good talk with my mates and building on relationships. I think now I need to build more relationships and let them develop. As a Christian I find it hard to act how I'm suppose to. I also seem to get tempted into doing wrong but I try to resist most the time. I feel like in the Christian union I have at school that we need to get organised and ready and get out there more! I might bring in new things and try out stuff and see what happens. I don't know if in my cue that im meant to include non Christians or not because sometimes I want to do a lot of Christian stuff and people that are not Christians might find it hard. Prayer has been working for my friends recently and I think I need to start having more faith.

Today has been so long and most of it boring until my mate came round. My mate is so cool she is the nicest person ever. We've never fallen out or anything and she is so funny, she is my bestest mate ever! I think friends are something you should hold on to in life and I've known bec for 10years.

Do you guys like my 'quote of the day' if anyone has a quote they want shown on my site please email it me.

Half term...shorter days...stress from school...getting over illnesses...brothers birthday...parents anniversary! I really don't like GCSEs I'm getting stressed about it already i can't be doing with it!

Aww how cute I got an email today saying get well soon. I haven't been very well this week at all. I had all week off school. Loads of my friends have been ill and off school too and one of them missed their work experience.

Yesterday I was talking to my brother. I don't normally get to talk to him because he's up the other end of the country doing Christian stuff. Anyway I was talking to him and we started talking about random stuff and then I asked how his friend was, who happened to be a girl and he started having ago at me saying 'oh you typical girl asking such a typical question' bla bla bla! Chill out! I love him anyway, I thought it was cute when he said it .*hehe*

On friday I went to this christian youth meeting and all my mates were praying for me. I just love it just being in the presence of God. Then we were praying for my friend Luke, to bless him, and apparently me and this girl both said, when we were praying out loud, the lyrics to a song that someone knew. So she put the song on and we all listened to it and half of us burst out crying because everything that was in the song was amazing and true. And we started praising God out loud and we felt really sorry for the people that didn't know God. I also went to a meeting on the saturday night and the guy was talking about getting a life and it made me think of all the people i know who don't actually have a life. Then at church the pastors son said the same stuff that was on the cd that we heard on friday and he never knew we listened to it. (oh this prob don't make sense, because i can't really make sense of it) but it was really obvious that God was speaking through to me! GOD IS SO AMAZING AND TRUE!!!
I can't even start to understand how much God loves me, he loves me more than I could love him because I can't love that much, it is actually impossible to love him as much as he loves us! HE LOVES YOU!

Would I be able to cope in a country of diseases, fights, dirty water, hardly any food, no parents and me just a teenager with a few other christian teeagers wanting to help the children there?
It's an oppotunity given towards us from God, I can't ignore it, I must go on, even if I'm scared or injections and flying. God will be there!

I was reading my brothers blog and he was explaining how someone was doing something weird in front of their prayer house. It was known in that area that they did curses and stuff. So they had to pray round the house to take the curse off (not that I believe in curses but it's still the evil spirits). When I read this it reminded me of camp that I went on in the summer and we learnt about demons and spirits and stuff. I remember feeling of an evil presence in my room one of the nights, it sounds all babyish but it was real and I prayed so hard that I night, God was always with me.

I bet now your thinking well why did God let this happen to a Christian, well God gave us a free will, from birth, to live life how we want. We can choose to obey him or not. Well no one can be perfect even Christians mess it up and this is all because of sin in the world that Satan brought in. Also, Satan don't like some of the things that God does and what Christians do, so he trys to scare us and make us run away from God but if we ask God to protect us he will. You have to have faith to get through hard times and thats what I did and I got through it ('',)

The pains of braces!!
Listening to people talking in Maths today I felt really sorry for other people, I do normally feel sorry for other people but they were taking the mick of each other and having a laugh but i felt like that whatever they said about someone would be like them saying it to me.

Recently I've been doing a lot of singing, I really enjoy singing and i think it's amazing how God gave me that gift, I love it so much! I wanna be able to go and do stuff for God, I feel like i can't do much just sitting around, ok i go to school and stuff and I know i can talk to people at school but I just wanna get out there, I'm really keen, I need to learn how to take the time I have at school and use every second carefully, every moment is important! Wow i feel that I've got something important to do cool!!

I'm so excited because I have a Christian Union at my school and the school have allowed us to do a big display board and its going to be so cool. Everyones going to see it because people are going round the school for an 'open evening'. Oh yeh and at open evening I get to sing which is cool because i love singing! Also im going on a church weekend away next weekend and its gonna be so cool because we're making a film hehe! I love u lord!

I'm really tired today because i got home this morning at 1! I went to cardiff with my choir which was cool it went really well adn stuff. I can see how God has let me do these things with choir because I didn't got to one of the most important rehearsals just to go to my mates baptism. Just have to have faith, God is own your side!!

When u look at the keyboard above the arrow keys u can see home, end, page up, page down etc. Well i was just looking at it and it kinda relates to life. For example 'home' the beginning of your life some where u begin and then when it 'ends' u either go 'up' to heaven or 'down' to hell depending what happened on ur life on earth. I thought that was interesting.

I've been told I have to look for work expereience(well think about it anyways) and I'm not sure what i wanna be when im older but i want to be a missionary or a youth minister person-but what work experience could i find for that. If anyone has any ideas please send me an email. thankyou

What is going on?

I got really annoyed today when a teacher said at school that school should be your first priority-because we are going on a weekend away and one girl couldn't go- it reminded me about the baptism.

Good news my choir is letting me go to Manchester and Cardiff with them so I may bump into my brother. He comes back from amsterdam tomorrow.

Why can't i have grace, love, patience, self-control. I meant to be an example to others, how can i, i'll be known as a hypocrite!

Before I started this year I made a promise to myself about something but I couldn't help to notice that it only works one way but there were to ways to this and I couldn't avoid the part which I recently found out, it's kind of annoying though.


I've got a cold at the moment which doesn't help but I always wonder what's the point about having this cold, ok that must seem to be confusing and also I want to apologise to my brother about what I said about things happening for a reason but if you think about it God has a plan for your life and the things that happen in it must have a purpose, also we don't always know the reason, this is all my opinion though.


I really want to get out of school and go out into the world and 'talk'! I want to make friends with the world because I have the bestest life ever and I know the greatest person who has ever lived and I want to share him with the world. I do know though a school that it is still a great place to be to just 'talk' because I started a Christian Union which is like a foundation for the school but obviously the devil hasn't liked what me and my friends have done so he has uninvitedly helped and chipped in a bit. So can I please have your prayers for it....So that the Christian Union will work and reach out to the school.

In 24hrs ive learnt to accept things that happen and to take things how it comes im going to make sure i listen to my mum in future cause really that happen to be right all the time, which i know is really annoying but im going to accept it.

Did i tell you that Im a firm believer that everything happens for a reason!

My life is tearing apart and i had just become happy with how it was going and now i feel abused and that im losing one of my bestest friends ever just because of horrible rumours. I feel like im loosing everything my whole world I just wanna go into a circle and cry. Ive been told by my choir that i can't go to a very important baptism because i have to go to this rehearsal. Why does all these thing have to happen this year and at all at once. Can anyone who reads this pray for me I need help, bad ways!

I am quite amazed how God works. I know God is trying to do something but I'm still not sure what, yet! My friends are going to be baptised and I'm really happy because these guys are really special to me and I really want to be there. But the first date that we had for the baptism I couldn't make it because I was on holiday so they changed the date and I was on my other holiday. So then they changed it to sept 14th and till now ive been able to go but I had a letter about a compulsery rehearsal with my choir on the same date. But today we found out at church that the date was changed to the week before (next week). I don't know what God is doing but I'lll find out soon.

I've all of a sudden become aware about the things that are happening to me like when i get delayed 'oh this must me happening for a reason!' springs into my mind even when i do the smallest things like open a door, it's kinda strange but at least I'm connecting with God in my everyday life.
Also ages ago I phoned someone off the house phone to their mobile and i was talking for ages (36mins) and i thought the phone bill was going to be huge and normally when I'm being naughty I might just not say anything, but without thinking, which is kinda good, I just told my Mum that I had done it and that i would do jobs to pay for the phone bill. Just a minute ago they got the phone bill and it only cost £3.36 I felt relieved about that but I felt good that I had said something, the truth is always better than lying.

"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness" (Matt. 5:10).
IF YOU DON'T EXPERIENCE PERSECUTION, PEOPLE PROBABLY DON'T KNOW YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN.

I like this because everyday at school I have to put up with people persecuting me, at the beginning when it all started it hurt me but now i actually like it because i don't want to be like everyone else because God made me unique and i like that. I got this email the other day off my brother and he gave me this link <24-7 Articles>
and I thought it was very inspiring for me.

Ahhhh im getting stressed good job my baby guinea pig is here hehe! Say hello Squeak (thats his name) vjjjjjjjjjjjjlkkjuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllouuhjo isn't my baby clever. I don't know what language thats in hehe!

Im so excited im going to Paris tomorrow!!! Hehe! I have to wake up at 3 in the morning, how wrong is that! hehe! Oh well im happy!

Faith is a key ingredient to become closer to God! Today I had a seriously bad pain in my stomach. I couldn't breathe or move and this pain seemed to take over my whole body the pain grew and grew. I was getting worried because i had a choir audition at 3 and it was 2 i needed this pain to go so i could sing. I prayed, my mates prayed, my mum prayed, my dad prayed and people in the church prayed. It came to the point when i had to try walking so i got out of bed and i managed to walk down the stairs without falling over and i stumbled over to the computer gasping for air. i started talking to my mate who prayed for me, i said i couldn't cope and he said 'in the name of Jesus you can' and at that second i felt this flow in me and i was able to breathe easier but I hadn't totally recovered. I started to panic because it was nearly time to go to my audition, I kept praying and never stopped. My mum gave me a hotwater bottle and I grabbed my music and went to go out of the door when the phone rang, it was my mate jake, he blessed me when i found out that he rang me to see how i was because i left church early. I got in the car after that and went on to do the audition i felt a bit more moveable now. I prayed more and more. I got there and I could walk much better than before and I could feel myself being healed. I got up there and I had a tiny little twinch in my tummy. I got in and did the audition and after that when I walked out I felt free, the pain had gone, I was healed by the name of God, he had blessed me because I had faith in him. Praise the Lord!

I'm hungry.....yumm dinner!!!

Does it make you upset when your close friends fall out. I don't understand why people don't forgive each other, it's not like your going to die but imagine one day you fell out with your best friend and then the next day she died without you to becoming friends again, imagine how bad you would feel. So why don't people be friends and forgive each other, anyway isn't that what friends are for.

I feel like I'm already in year 10. We have teachers down our throats every minute of the day. We've already started coursework and yesterday the year 6's came.

I'm now starting to learn in my christian life how important the situations and experiences i have are. On Monday i had the day off school because I wasnt feeling so well. And i watched this DVD called 'Contact'. The impression I got from it was that we all need to have faith and i felt that believeing isn't always seeing. i know your meant to learn these things when your little but this actually put it into (or felt like) real life (even though it wasn't because it was about aliens). I can't really explain what it was like but it felt like the first time that I got to know God and the faith and belief I had and still have now.

Wow ermm thrers a bit of a change to the blogger site, this has kinder confused me, oh well i'll live.
Music, music, music
Thats reminds me, I'm going to Wales next week to sing in the eistedfferd (however u spell it) competition, I'm nervous! I'll need to practice. And I've got two school concerts and a violin workshop, oh my life i can't cope and I've got an audition. Ahh!!

Heya my best mate Jayd wanted me to say that she loves nick ALOT so there u go jayd!!! heya peeps its lise lol essy's m8 lol im v.bored lol lol lol (lol means lots of laughs)

Oh my life does anyone else want all this stress i have.I have a singing exam on the 19th june also on that date i have a concert and im meant to have my braces put in on the 17th i have a concert on the 24th 25th 26h june i have a concert on the 8 9 10 11 july an audition on the 12th july i go to paris for a show on the 18 19 20th july AHHHHHHHHH!!! So really im kinda in a tiffey and thats all the i can rememeber. My brother is getting graduated so im going to sleepova at my mates and i have loads of birthdays too. Ok this is a time for me to pray and try to relax myself.

Heya im at school at the moment and i'm in R.e (Religious education for all you old timers) and I'm meant to be doing this project and I based mine on Jesus but I can't do anymore so i'll wait till i get home.

Wooow wot would we do with out technology!!! talking through a microphonethrough the internet hehe its really cool!!!

Sarah is here at the moment and we are waiting for food mmmmm!!! OH i nearly forgot to say Sarah has become a chrisitan WOOOOOOOW!! Praise the Lord!!!

Wow, I've only just gathered my thoughts together, i mean i've had the most best year so far in my entire life and ive only just realised. You see for the past 2 years i have been praying for my mates to become christians and after the 1 year i was starting to loose faith and thinking while isnt God answering me, and during the 2nd year loads of bad things were happening to me and making me feel upset and this got to the stage where i felt why is this happening to me, what have i done wrong. Then this year I prayed for a good year and the Lord answered me, and He answered me beyond belief, 2 of my mates became christians and my other mate now wants to, this is so cool!! I also found out today that my mate believes in God but doesn't believe the stories so i know wot I need to do there it would be so great if my best mate became a christian, I'll have to pray about it. It would be so great if all my mates became christians, Just pray!!!

Yo! Did I ever tell you that I'm trying to read through the whole bible, do u actually know how many pages that is, well in my Bible that is 1405, i've never been able to finish a 500 page book. Well something that is keeping me with it is that my mate Phil is doing the same thing and we keep telling each other where abouts we are(at the moment I'm ahead of him!) My favourite book in the Bible must be Proverbs because it has really short sentences about everyday life which are easy to remember. At the moment my fave verse is:

'A gentle answer will calm a person's anger, but an unkind answer will cause more anger'

It always comes in help to a teenager.
Anyway tomorrow is Easter, the day that Jesus came back to life! Also my matt is coming back tonight and i havn't seen him in ages. Happy Easter!!!
Love and God Bless Essy Christian Teenagers

Heya all!!!
Don't you think the weather is so nice, I think I've caught the sun a bit. Well tomorrow is good friday meaning it is the day that Jesus was crucified on the cross so he could forgive our sins. I get quite annoyed when i find that good friday doesn't have a big impact on people when actually it changed the world, why can't people see that?
i really don't know where my ideas come from but I've had a brain wave that i can't tell you now. Hmmm!!! Anyway I hope you all have a good easter Love and God bless Essy <><

Bonjour, ca va? ca va bein merci! France was so cool! I went for 5 days and I came back this morning at 3am and I slept until 3pm hehe!

I went with the school and we left Monday morning at 6am and arrived at Portsmouth at 11am and we finally got there (Dinard) at 11pm!!!



On the Tuesday we went to Saint Malo (shopping) and me and my mates got lost, I realised that God can test you in many unexpected situations and He did so on this occasion. It was 12 and we all had to meet back at 12:30 outside the casino. Me and 3 of my other mates thought we should start heading back just incase we got delayed, we started to walk down this hill because we thought it would be at the bottom but we were walking for 15 minutes round all these winding roads. Then we decided to ask someone if they knew where it was and my mate went to this lady and said in french do u know where the casino is and she told us the total opposite direction from where it was so that ended up delaying us even more. I had to start praying because I knew God was calling, so I did. We then asked someone other people if they knew but they didn't this came to the point where I was really praying, it was 12:20 and if we weren't back by 12:30 we would have missed the next booking to go to the aquarium. I then went to this lady and asked her and she said that we should ask in a local shop, which we had never thought of. So I ran into the local bar and started to yell out French (which I found comical) saying "Je suis anglais, tu parle anglais?” (I am English, you speak English?) to all the workers. There was finally someone who was English and told us where to go, m mate was in tears and we started to run all the way back it was about a mile or less and we ran so fast it took us about 8 minutes. I was so relieved when I saw familiar faces that my eyes filled up with tears. We were only 5 minutes late but we never missed the aquarium.

PRAISE THE LORD!!!


All in all I did have a good time in France and getting lost did allow me to practice my french, I need to go to bed now because my sleeping pattern has changed, Love and God bless
Au revoir!!!

yay yay yay i'm going to France at 6am tomorrow i'm so excited see you laterz bye

I thought i should tell you about how i became a christian!!!


All my family are christians, so I was influenced at an early age. When I was old enough to understand who Jesus was I became a christian, at the age of 5!


When I was 7 I went to an Ishmale concert where I learnt more about God and there I asked Jesus to forgive my sins, because he had died for me!


Recently Jesus has worked through me because each day i get to know him more! When I started secondary school I was scared about the situations that were going to lie ahead, so I prayed to God to give me strength and sure enough he answered my prayer and I have a lot of confidence!


A month after I started school I felt it was time I should talk to people about my belief in God, that was when the questions began! These questions weren't easy and most of them were trying to trip me up so I prayed again for God to help me know what to say by putting the right words in my mouth. Also I prayed to God to fill me up with His Holy spirit and once again the great almighty God answered my prayer!


Jesus isn't just my Lord and saviour, He is also my best friend, helper and Father!

Yo!!


wow I'm writing not on a Tuesday!! today I dossed about in DT, I went to my piano lesson, I went to Drama practice for the easter play and I went to extreme and we did an 'M' theme evening!!! Also between piano and drama me and Bec went jogging and i did lots compared to what i normally do!!


Recently I've felt that I've had no time for God, well I feel like I only think about him when I really need him and church and the other times I feel like I can do everything by myself and I never do!! I've been reading my bible and understanding it and learning about Him but I've been reading the old testament and it makes me feel that some of the things that happened were bad, i can't really explain but can whoever wants to can you pray for me to remember to pray and talk to God everyday thankyou!!


Night and God Bless

Heya all!!!

I don't see why i only write on Tuesdays, it must be easier for me (I don't see how)

Well today i had CU at school (Christian Union) where we arranged the rota for the rest of the year and we got told off for being to loud!! Also today I got my hair cut, it's soo cool, it has been serrated down the sides and i've also got one of those side fringes!!!! :)

never forgetting I've had my singing lesson and orchestra *sigh* if i wanted to i could give u a rota of my life

Whoever is reading this could they please pray for me because in five weeks I have my year 9 SATs and I don't think i will be able to remember everything and when I get to exams I start to panic thankyou!!!!


Well tomorrow i have choir, so that will be interesting indeed!!!

Tuesday 25th March


Man it took me ages to publish the first one, I only manage to do it today. This website thing is quite hard, well it should work for now on.

Well today I went to school after not going yesterday, I was not very well and I'm still not feeling the best ever *sigh* !!! I've just come back from doing a concert in the Symphony Hall and it was very ermm interesting I could say (hehe)!!!

Last weekend was the most hectic weekend I've had in ages. On Friday I went jogging with my mate and then we both went on a travelling dinner party with extreme. A travelling dinner party to those who don't know is when u start at someones house and you have a starter and then you go to someone elses house and then another one and another one and another one (Busted's Year 3000)!!! After that I slept over at Bec's and we watched Lord of the rings, not all of it but we watched the extras and guess who we saw, aragorn (Becky loves aragorn.)

Then on Saturday I went to spotlight in the morning (hippodrome) and did acting singing and dancing followed my shopping and more dancing. In the evening I went to Vanessa's disco, which was really good!! And wow Sam has never danced so much (Disco Diva)!!!


All in all a tiring weekend and I'm just getting over it.

God Bless Essy xxx <><

Tuesday 18th March 2003

The beginning!

Hey, I thought I should start my own website because the one before was silly and not worth the bother! Oh, if you were wondering about the flames, well there is an explanation: when the Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost, He appeared as flames on the heads of the apostles (how cool is that!).
Well today I had an interesting day because firstly I woke up late and I ended up rushing about (as usual). Then I had a normal boring day at school! I got home went to my singing lesson, which was good but the traffic was outrageous. Then I had to go from my singing lesson in Walmley to Orchestra in Bloxwich, all in 30 minutes (well my Dad can put his foot down when he wants to (in the speed limit)).
Well that's my typical Tuesday. I'll try and keep up to date with this. I better get ready for school now. Night and God Bless <><
