So it’s Mothering Sunday today. I forgot to send my mum a card, or send her a present, and I won’t be seeing her for another month or so probably. I’m probably not the best daughter right now. But I put on my music this morning as I get ready for church and a song…

My own personal disaster
This coming week I’ve realised I’ve committed to do too many things. It all started on Thursday. I help out at our church youth club on a Thursday night and part of the night includes a talk on a story from the bible. I wanted to teach the topic of Peter denying Jesus. I love…
Delete, delete, delete…
Hello, my name is Amy and I’m a deleter. I write and re-write and then delete and write again text messages, tweets and emails. Am I alone in this club?
The story of the Good Samaritan
Last month, I helped at a fantastic event in my church. We hosted the Life Exhibition, which was all about the life of Jesus. It was split into 3 parts: the prophecies of Jesus, what Jesus said and what Jesus did. I was in charge of what Jesus said. I talked about his parables primarily,…
If God is for us, who can be against us?
If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 Last week, I found out that not only am I still not liked at work, that a few members of staff like to exchange unpleasant words about me behind my back. Some of these members of staff, I thought were my friends. This…
In the eye of the beholder
So recently I’ve been feeling a little bit down. It’s no secret I’ve been on the job hunt, as are many of my friends, though most of my friends are unemployed instead of a minimum hour contract. But essentially we’re all in the same boat. I’ve sent my CV out to dozens of employers. I’ve…
When ‘Congratulations!’ is secretly filled with resentment
I feel like my life is about to become a Richard Curtis film, and not ‘Love, Actually’, though I really do hope and dream that one day I will get to fall hopelessly in love like that. No, I’m currently being cast in ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ and I am watching everyone around me…
New Years Resolution
I make resolutions every year. The traditional ones like: exercise regularly, eat healthier… They all usually appear in my long list of ways to better myself for the New Year. Usually I don’t make it to the end of January. Maybe I make too many, maybe I try to improve myself more than is humanly…
Top 10 Films of 2013
This blog post was inevitable. I work at a cinema, and I love film. So a top 10 of the year was bound to arise sooner or later. However, when I look back over this year, it’s actually been a pretty terrible year for film. I struggled to make the list whole. I hated Les…
Quitting
I’ve heard how hard it is to quit things you’re addicted to. We all know how hard it is. We hear about Alcoholics Anonymous, where you have a sponsor to keep you on the road to recovery, and even then, do you ever truly recover? You’ve seen the adverts for Nicorette gum and patches to…
