This Summer I made a Bucket List. Not a life bucket list but a summer bucket list. I will share more on this in another blog post but one of my ‘things to do this summer’ was to make an Inspiration Wall. If you know me, have been reading my blog for a while or have spent around ten minutes with me you’ll know that I also love to travel and I fantasize about travelling the world everyday. So, I changed my ‘Inspiration Wall’ into my Inspiration/Travelling Wall. It makes sense to me. However, today I am going to share the quotes that I collected for my wall. I actually got really creative with scrapbook paper (Thanks Peta! šŸ˜‰ ā¤ ) and travelling magazines. So now my wall looks something like this:Ā 

Inspiration wallĀ (Sorry about the quality but you get the idea)

A lot of these quotes are from two books. Believe You Can by John Mason and Kissed The Girls and Made Them Cry by Lisa Bevere. These are both excellent books, I recommend them!Ā 

So here they are:

‘God plants no yearning in the human soul that he does not have a plan to satisfy.’

Ā ‘You’re like a tea bag: You won’t know your own strength until you’ve been through some hot water.’

‘A smile is a gift you can give everyday.’

‘At night, give all your worries and fears to God. He’s going to be up all night anyway.’Ā 

‘People would worry less about what others think about them if they only realized how seldom they do. They’re usually not thinking about you but wondering what you’re thinking about them.’

‘Love someone who doesn’t deserve it.’

‘There is a beautiful and divine connection between love and music. They expand and reveal each other.’

‘The prince calls her altogether lovely.’

”No one can be loved by a prince and keep it a secret.’

‘God is the ultimate musician. His music transforms your life. The notes of redemption rearrange your heart and restore your life. His songs of forgiveness, grace, reconciliation, truth, hope, sovereignty, and love give you back your humanity and restore your identity.’ – Paul Tripp

Of course, there are reason behind why I picked these particular quotes but I’m not going to go into detail. They are just encouraging and my wall looks pretty wonderful.

Also, yesterday was one of my friends 20th birthday. We spent the day strawberry picking, making pancakes, eating pizza and laughing A LOT. Here are some pictures:

Now, I should stop writing and do some homework. yup! I have to read a German book and practice for Music. Oh and Maths homework but I’m totally waiting until my brother is home from Germany so he can help me because lets face it, Maths is not my thing. He studies Maths (Along side other subjects) at University.. why? I do not know. Its handy for me though I guess haha! Ā Have a lovely day!

This morning I woke up later than I thought I would. Not that much later, about 8.30. Fifteen minuets later, I receive a snapchat. A Snapchat from Becca saying she’s off to Jesus Culture. I am so excited for them because I imagine its going to be awesome but I’m sad I’m not going. Peta, I can’t wait to read your blog post about it!!Ā 

So once Rachael got up we cycled to Asda on a doughnut hunt for going to the garden. We found some.. and also came out of the shop with Yum yums and fruit too! I’ll show you some of the pictures I took šŸ™‚

The Power of Patience and The Beach :D

Beach, best friends, bible, bible verses, church, Fellowship, food, friends, fruit, God, holy spirit, Jesus christ, life, love, patience, repentance, sun, technology, timing, trust, trust worthy, weather, world, worship

Today in church we were looking at another one of the fruits, patience.Ā 
Patience is very, very powerful.Ā 

Romans 15:5Ā 
“Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded one towards another according to Christ Jesus.”
1 Peter 3:9
“He is patient with you not wanting anyone to perish but all to come to repentance.”

For 120 years, God waits patiently. When your little there is a 3 second rule where if you didn’t do what you were told with in the 3 seconds, war brakes out or… at least, you were made to sit on the ‘naughty step’. God waited 120 years. He is patient with us!
Before we were born, he planted gospel seeds in our hearts. Gods patience is inexhaustible. Everything about God is inexhaustible. He works in the lives of people until they come to repentance. Ā Ā 

He is patient to that we will be like minded with Him. Why should we be patient?Ā 
1. “So that in me Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience.”
2. “A patient man has great understanding.”
3. “A hot tempered man stirs up dissension but a patient man calms the quarrel.”
4. “Better a patience man than a warrior.”

How can we be more patient?
Ask, abide, appreciate Gods timing. We live in an instant world.. even now, when everything is so so fast, where an email is sent with in a short couple of seconds, even then, we need to be patient with Gods timing.Ā 

God is not in a rush but He isĀ never late.

Today after church we had a BBQ at a beautiful beach. So, as always, take a look at some pictures šŸ˜‰Ā

God Is Love.

Now, I realize this was my first time back at church since before Germany so I think I am a bit behind with all the sermons but today we looked at a fruit of the spirit, Love.

God’s love:
– His character
– It’s everlasting
– For everybody
– The unlovely
– His motivation.Ā 

Let me explain.
How do we describe God? God is love. If you look into other religions, if you read the Koran there is nothing that says anything about God of love. Our God has everlasting love. Everlasting. Whether you are pleasing him and serving Him or doing things that break his heart, his love never changes. He loves you always. God loves the unlovely. For God so loved the world that He gave His only son. Why? because he loves us, even the unlovely.

We need to have passion for the lost. We need to love the lost like God loves the lost.
Love is: Patient, not jealous, not proud, not self seeking, no wrongs, rejoices in truth, trusts, perseveres, kind, does not brag, not rude, not angered, no delight in evil, protects, hopes, love never fails. We must not keep records of any wrongs!

Now, love is tough. God says we are to love God, we are to love each other, we are to love our neighbor, we are to love our enemies, we need to love with all our mind, heart, soul and strength (Just like Maria explained in the kids talk during the service).

There is good news! It is Gods love through us. *exhale*. That makes it easier right? Its a fruit of the spirit.
Our responsibility is to “Enjoy serving the Lord and he will give you what you want.” (Psalm 37 verse 4)

There are results of loving.Ā 
1. God gets excited.
2. The world is touched.
3. We are enriched.

The love of Jesus flows in our lives.Ā 
Amen.

P.s you have homework! Well, we got homework šŸ˜€ Our Pastor said we should read Ephesians chapter 3 verse 14 to 21 (The end of the chapter) every day for a week (or longer if you like;) ) Ā I encourage you to do the same šŸ™‚Ā 

Now, after church Rachael and I longboarded back to her house. Just for the fun of it. I did have a rather funny experience. Just as we were leaving Peta, your longboard decided to make its way into the bike compartment. Now baring in mind it’s a Sunday which meant all gates were shut and probably padlocked, so this led me to having one choice. Climb the fence. I’m about 5’1, I estimate the gate being double the size of me if not more so I had to sort of pull myself up over it, in a dress. Lol!! It was quit funny. I guess all those childhood years of climbing trees does come in handy in situations like these šŸ˜€Ā

flavor, food, fruit, green tea, How to, ice tea, milkshake, quick, recipe, smoothie, Summer, sunny, weather

Literally about 5 minuets ago I made myself some iced green tea. This can work for flavored iced green tea’s too šŸ™‚

1) Boil waterĀ 
2) Take ice cubes and fill your glass up with them.
3) Put a green tea bag or a green tea bag and a flavored tea bag into a mug and pour the boiling water in.
4) leave it for about 3 minutes depending on how strong or weak you want it.
5) Add about a tea spoon of sugar (more or less depending on what you like) and stir with the hot tea.
6) Pour the tea into a glass and mix to make sure the ice cools it.Ā 
7) Add lemon, lime or anything else and its done šŸ™‚Ā 


Banana and Kiwi Smoothie:

1) Take a handful of ice cubes and crush them in your blender.
2) Chop up a banana and 2 Kiwis and add into the blender.
3) Add milk until it covers the fruit. For a smoothie add apple juice or any you think works šŸ™‚
4) Blend it all together and your done šŸ™‚
5) To make it stay even cooler while in the sun add some more ice cubes.

We’re On A Roll

breakfast, excersize, family, fitness, friends, fruit, rain, running, smoothies, teenagers, weather

Well I wouldn’t call it a roll… yet!Ā 
A couple of friends and I have been going running . Today we went on a shorter run and the not wonderful rain came out and decided to soak us all. But, we kept going! Although I did slow down at times (because I’m a short distance runner. You might not think it by how slow I run long distance but I’m the fastest girl in my year for short distance, so just need to practice long distance:) )Ā 
It’s fun with friends, you can laugh at each others hilarious looking facial expressions when you have the I can’t go on any longer moments and also chat and then you don’t really realize that your running at all.Ā 
I want to try and go running a bit in the mornings:D Yes all the teenagers out there, I am going to get up even earlier to get all ready go for a run and come home to a lovely breakfast. I’m sorry but that sounds good to me! If it’s not windy and raining that is:) In the morning there is no one else around and everything is so quit, it’s nice I think šŸ™‚

Now, this is anĀ achievementĀ I just can not make smoothies… but today before going out for a run I decided that I would try. And… it didn’t turn outĀ disgustingĀ but still a bit of work to do. It sounds like the easiest thing, get some fruit you like cut it and put it in the mixer with milk and yogurt. Ohh but nooooo this has proved a challenge for me:D

Image LOL!!
