I think I've found it!

A few posts back I mentioned that I was trying to recapture the Christian life I loved when I was 13. Well I'm not saying that I haven't been high about God since then. But that was when everyday was amazing and each day was an adventure. And as I said last post that everything amazing was happening in my life, well it hasn't stopped!
On the same day all the other stuff was happening I got a phone call asking about an interview for a job. But let’s mention it wasn't any sort of job - it was at NEXT! Shops that I LOVE woo! So I went to that interview and I got the job and I start tomorrow.

So that’s one amazing thing because I was beginning to think that I was never going to get a job.
Also this morning at church I knew God wanted me to tell the church about everything He was doing in my life. I was all hyped up because I was on fire for God and I got a comment from Luke saying that I was especially hyped up for that time of the morning. And let me mention that I get scared of public speaking ‘cause I always worry that I will say something wrong. So anyway I was all high about God and while the worship team was praying before we went up I began shaking and speaking in tongues and I knew that the worship then was going to be immense. So we got to the front about to start the service and I whispered to Matt (worship leader) if I could open in prayer – man was I nervous and excited at the same time. So, without having a clue what I was going to say in the prayer I just went for it. I think what I said was alright – but it was all a blur to me, I was in another world. We began singing, well I tried but it all came out like a mush of words so I kept the microphone away from mouth and brought it up when I could make a clear sentence. I slowly began to make sense and I still had this feeling that God wanted me to speak and I was telling God that I was scared and He just kept pushing it. We were then at the end of the last song and William (Pastor) started praying to begin the service and I was standing at the front in floods of tears and God was reminding me that I had to say something and I was thinking well I’ve lost my chance now and He told me no you haven’t. So when William finished praying and people began sitting down, God pushed me to William and I asked him if I could share something – lets remember I was still crying. So he said yeh sure and I had no idea what I was going to say I just knew that I had to say it.

I began speaking and I was trying to make my words come across clearly over the tears and God gave me all the words I needed and I was just telling people that God has really been moving in my life recently and that instead of blessing us with one thing that he blesses us with many and that his blessings are endless.

It felt so good what I was saying and doing and I knew God was happy with me and as I sat down I was greeted with hugs from my mates and I knew that was Gods physical love for me. I knew I couldn’t have done any of it without God and that all the words I spoke were Gods because I was a blubbering mess. Btw I was crying ‘cause I was so happy and excited and in awe of God.

Living life to the full or extreme

My life just gets more exciting each day!! I wasn't sure if I was going to mention it all on here but it's too exciting now to keep quiet. Well because of being on christianbands a guy heard me who runs a Christian radio station online(called ChristFM) and he liked it so he put me on his site and when you listen you can request my songs (they are under G for Girl with a mission) and they come up and you can hear them and stuff. It's so exciting and amazing. Today at school we had the site on and after I left the room to go to my lesson the music teacher and my mate turned to radio up and the guy on there was apparently talking about me and my song and stuff and apparently saying stuff like I'm passionate about God. I was so happy when Sara told me. Also today my singing teacher told me to email Sony in the USA so to get Diane Warren's contact details(a very big Hollywood songwriter and wrote songs like "I don't want to miss a thing") and then to send her a sample of my CD. She even watched me send the email to Sony. WOW! ALSO, I got home after school and listened to the answer phone message I got on my mobile and it was this woman asking me to audition for a choir and that my singing teacher had gave her my contact details. It's like everything is going on at once - it's so cool and I'm so excited about what things may happen. And I do have to give God all the glory because I asked God last night that I will really be able to live life to the full! I think I'm getting there! Woooo

Quinta 2005

Weekend just gone me and my church went to Quinta. An anual event that we do and we spend the weekend playing games, going out, quizes, worship, scavenger hunt etc. We had such a good time. Like last year the youth were put in another building away from the adults and children - we were loud and crazy yet some individuals not naming anyone (sara!) were boring and went to bed at a reasonable time whereas me and Claire were awake sneeking around and being naughty (hehe). The sunday was the best when we had a quiz including a scavenger hunt and the guy running it said that we were going to need a range of ages in the team and that all the youth shouldn't go together - we decided against that but added my mummy in just for wisdom along with Terry. One of the items we had to get on the scavenger hunt was a cheeseburger from McDonalds - we were in the middle of no where but Cathy still got in her car and drove to the nearest McDs to get one hehe. It was worth a lot of points and i should think so. Well anyway we had loads of fun getting random things and we had pretty much everything. When it got to the marking of scores it came out as the teenagers winning woooo haha! Who says teenagers aren't just great!Anyway I can't be bothered to write anymore - I'm way too tired after the weekend and the 100hours gig last night (who were mint btw) so I'll catch up with you guys another time - btw check the Flickr for more fun and fascinating photos (I'm doing them now sara!!)
