Last night a couple of friends and I went to a prayer meeting at Kings. This prayer meeting was a bit different to what I was used to, in a good way. Their was a band, colorful lights, blankets and cushions of the floor for those who want to pray there, bean bags, chairs, decorations and of course, tea. The atmosphere was so peaceful and happy. 

Firstly, we prayed for whatever we wanted, for our lives, for our friends, anything. Then, people came up and we concentrated on a number of things such as, Family’s marriages, orphans, persecuted Christians, youth, schools and others that I can’t remember at this moment. The one that stuck out to me was persecuted Christians. I don’t know about you, but sometimes at prayer meetings when we are concentrating on specific subjects I just listen to other people praying and forget to pray myself. Last night, there was a man who ‘took us on a journey’. He told us countries around the world that were safe and others that were not. I just stared at him in astonishment (in a good way) of the knowledge he had of all these places! I wanted to know the things he did. I don’t know if it was something God had put on my heart or whether this mans way of telling us about these places was just intriguing to me, but either way, I think we should spend more time praying for our brothers and sisters who are being persecuted while we sit around praying about ourselves and the troubles we have in our own lives. Even though our troubles are so important to God too.. of course! But I think that I spend too much time praying for things that I want to happen or things that I want to change that I forget that this isn’t the only country in the world and there are others suffering. They are our brothers and sisters and we need to pray that they have hope and trust in God and that he makes himself known to them when they are frightened. So, lets pray more for the ones who are being persecuted for their faith.

Vegetarian Week Review and A New Apartment?

I have been gone for a couple of days. I have had a lot on and I just didn’t find the time to sit and write to you all. I have noticed that I have homework almost every day which I didn’t have in fourth year. On top of that, I spend a lot of time with my friends. So tonight at almost 10.30 when my eyes are closing on me, I am here to write a blog post. 

As you all know, I had a vegetarian week. That week turned almost into 2 weeks. Until tonight, I haven’t ate any meat since last Monday. It was kind of strange because I don’t feel the need to eat it. I find that other foods do me just as good because you get used to not eating meat. I’m not a vegetarian as I think that I do need the Iron that meat gives me. Saying this, I might just randomly have a Vegetarian week here and there. Referring to the way I feel, I don’t feel any different which is good. I  haven’t lost any weight or anything which is also good because I am 7 /7.5 stone just now and it wouldn’t be be the best if I lost any more when I need the energy for school. 

Secondly, as I said, I spend a lot of time with my friends. Yesterday I went for a cycle with my friend and I took her to a garden that I used to go to when I was younger. Not many people know about it, I don’t think. It is in the town where I live but it’s not noticeable. We both think it’s beautiful. Now, there is a point to what I am saying. A couple of days ago, Rachael, mum and I went to visit an apartment. The reason being, there are electricity pylons right outside our place just now and my mum is always worried about them. I’m not complaining because I like this apartment better. if you live here, its like behind Asda.  So, one of the bedrooms has a really pretty view! I think my mum will have that bedroom and I will have the one with the nicer wardrobe lol! I would like the view too but my mum likes that so she can have it. But, what I am most excited about is that it is just a few minutes walk from that garden I was talking about earlier. Which means, I can be a geek and go there before school and read and journal and maybe even bring my guitar because it is so quite and so pretty.
