Youth leaders conference

This weekend has been amazing. We (Me, Amy, Vicky and Jon) went to a young leaders conference so we could get some training for the stuff we do at church. It was really useful for me because I want to me a youth leader when I'm older. When we were there we made a group of friends, 4 main people -Dan, Tabby, Arron and Paria! They are really friendly and became friends with us despite the slight craziness we have haha!
During the weekend God spoke to me a lot. He taught me how to walk by faith every second, which I have been putting into practice. Also he gave me a vision and 3 pictures to go with it. The first pic was of 1000s of young people praising and giving their lives to God (I was either on the stage leading them or in the crowd, he decided to not tell me that slight detail.) Then the next was a circle(He said it was me) with 5 lines coming from it. Then the 3rd was a start button. I'm still chatting with God about it but it all sounds very exciting and scary.
Walking by faith...

We did it!

24hour Famine

Yesterday was so amazing! There weren't thousands of us taking part but the people that did managed to finish it and last 24 hours without food. We watched DVDs, took funny photos, played games, prayed and worshiped! I was so happy that it all worked because I was unsure that things were going to but everyone took part in things and we had such a great time. We all had our moments when we really needed food. And at the end we did a countdown and everyone ate minieggs. But for me I carried on till 30hours. I stopped eating food at 10:45 on Friday night and I woke up at 4:20am on Sunday with a violent tummy pains. I knew I had to make sure I finished. So I got myself some milk and a banana (I don't even like bananas) and waited for 25mins-in pain. Then I had my feast lol and the banana tasted nice. And now when I eat food I can taste every detail of it+I don't take any of it for granted. Thank you Lord for Food!

2moro- 24 hour FAMINE

I just got the info pack about it - because our group started late we are kinda behind and haven't had much time but it's ok because every penny counts. I keep thinking of all the things I need to organise and what needs to be done and what things we can do. I'm worried that a group of teenagers aren't going to want to listen to another teenager, it would be so much fun if they did. I've got a ll these ideas planned and I have to wake up early in the morning to get everything organise before people arrive.
Please pray that everything will be alright...."Everythings gonna be alright in Christ"

Attcchhhoooo

With the upset I've had, my immune system has crashed and I now have the flu. I got it quite quickly, my mum told me to calm down otherwise I would get physically ill and she was right.
I got some sleep last night which isn't as nice as it sounds because for some of the night I was up coughing and getting annoyed with my blanket.
I've got a lot of revision to do but I'm finding it hard to get motivated at the moment so if anyone wouldn't mind but I could really do with some prayer.Thankyou.

Things happen for a reason

I've broken up from school now. We broke up on Thursday and today I've been hanging out in the church office (where I did my work experience). One thing I've been amazed at recently is how quickly your friends and family will be there helping you when life is down. For a really long time last night me and my parents were getting along really well together as they were pulling me through this upsetting situation. I don't want to explain what the situation is because it's not a place to say it but I read my bible and God kept telling me that He knew the plans for my life and I just have to trust in Him. And that is what I'm going to do - I'm still upset but I know if I stay with God I will be ok and He will look after me.

Valleys!

24 hour famine

The advantages of freeview have given me the opportunity to listen to premier radio which is a Christian radio station. Me and Luke listen every morning before we go to school. I've been hearing recently on it about a '24 hour famine' and how its a fundraising event to raise money for orphans in other countries. Poverty kills 30000 children each day...thats 3 children each second. Imagine if all your friends and family died each second, you would be alone. And this is actually true for a lot of people. SO when I heard about it, it didn't leave my mind until I found out more. I asked a few of my friends if they would be interested and they said they would be and I'm hoping that more people will be. I've already registered for it and sent off for an information pack. The event is on the 18th- 20th of February, so I don't have much time to get everyone prepared but I'm praying that God will help us...I know he will! If you have a group spread the word and tell them.. I'm sure you'll have enough time, just don't wait around for answers if you want to do it, go for it!One person can make a difference!Well I'm asking for your prayers and support please, thankyou and God bless xxx
