Back to blog

So, over this christmas period, well - a bit longer than the christmas period...I took a little break from blogging..So I've decided...I must must must start writing again. Man, I've missed this pretty layout! If you don't mind, I'm actually going to start writing about anything and everything, instead of just.. shopping!

Over the busyness of the holiday period, you sometimes get the 'January Blues', not me! I've actually loved January so far, and have realised how blessed I am for so many things in my life. 
I've been working tons, seeing friends, and actually, just enjoying some quiet time! I never thought I'd ever say that, but I LOVE reading! I cannot stop...book after book after book! Go me! Whilst I'm talking about books... may I recommend ANY book by Beth Moore, she's inspirational!

At the moment, I've been pretty disciplined with my bible studies, daily. This has had a huge impact upon my life, I constantly feel God reminding me of His promises, Mercy, Compassion and Grace He gives me. I've always been jealous of certain friends who just get verses given straight from God, and I have found that really difficult. It's actually down to your time aside with God and when that relationship deepens, you actually get to listen to Him, and know what is from Him, personally. 
He's been throwing verses at me, and I love it! 

My heart has been filled with compassion towards those who are hurting right now or are going through a difficult time. I wish I could constantly be there for them, give to them, and just be the friend I need to be, but that's not always humanly possible. It's so hard when we want to do anything we can to help right? but that's where we fail, because we can't, we're human! If we were built to manage everything and do everything ourselves, well there would not be any point in our awesome God would there?! 
This has been a huge challenge to me, I actually need to put a LOT more faith in a God who does the possible and reaches the impossible! 

Even when those difficult days come, and yes, even when I cannot pick up my bible, that's ok...maybe God wants to tell me something, so that I will sit and listen to Him. Those days where I don't want to shout or rant or pray for specific things, He knows what is on my heart, after all He knows everything about me - Psalm 139;Luke 12v7;

I've been reminded of how much of an amazing God I serve, He gave me this verse for the week... literally, for the week! He is with me, when I look around at creation - and that includes the snow over these past few days.... I see Him! Just simply amazing....
