Jesus' Blood Never Fails Me

I feel delicate.

I've been worrying a lot about money - it seems I actually can't afford to be at university...even with the Student Loans Company.
I've been getting worked up over not being involved in a church or feeling very part of a church.
I've been missing my family lots - even though I'm gonna see them in 12 days.

I've just been soaking. God gave me a picture.
I was wondering around trying to make a movie, where I'm one of the characters, but I'm making the movie myself. There'd be a scene where I had to prop the camera up because I fall down, then I have to cut out certain bits like me walking away from the camera and getting in position.
And God just said...you have me to help you with your dreams. I'm your film crew. I'm your director, your camera man, your sound man, your makeup artist. Just come to me and I will guide you.

He is so good.
God you are so good to me. You put peace in my heart, yet you put the loudest joy in my heart also! I just want a deeper relationship with you. You've stolen my heart, captured it, it's all yours.

Gracious Words

I realised something today...
Throughout the year before University, I prayed like mad for a Christian friend, and for me to have some girl-friends, because I don't have many girl-friends.
I live with 8 girls and 2 guys. How cool is that?! God totally has blessed me, I've been here for 6 weeks and I've only just realised!!! How open aren't my eyes!!!
So...maybe try opening your eyes up a bit.


I read Proverbs 16:24 this morning about the power of encouragement. It's amazing how we're designed so that when we're complimented/encouraged we feel a bit more confident or happy. And I guess the bible has hit it on the head again (as it normally does) by saying
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones.

And it's not exactly hard for us to speak words of encouragment to someone each day is it? On average, a woman speaks 20,000 words a day, and men speak 7, 000. So it can't be difficult for 10 of those words to be a sentence of encouragement can it!?

Think about the biggest compliment you've ever been given...Mine would've have to be one of my friends saying that I was beautiful. 3 words...simple!
Try and give someone the biggest compliment/words of encouragement they will ever have been given.
Lemme know yours :)


God is good.
Freedom.
You girls are amazing.
