A week ago, I returned to Facebook. I left last December on a bit of a whim really. I got annoyed at someone and decided I’d had enough of the social network. I saw it as poison that I had to suck out. So I did. And my life got so much better. I became…

Desires of The Heart
A few months ago I kept waking up in the middle of the night. I’d wake up every night at either 3am or 5am, and lie in bed for about an hour trying to get back to sleep. I mentioned this to someone and they said to me, that I should use that time to…
Happy Mother’s Day
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,…
100 Days To Change…
Habits are something that can be good or bad. Often we get stuck in bad habits, and trying to break out of them seems impossibly hard. When we want to get into a new good habit, it seems just as difficult. A friend of mine showed me a blog that gave a guide to creating…
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…
The Best Films of 2013
It may be January 16th today, but I am still reading the January issue of Empire, and therefore it doesn’t really feel like I’m up to date with films, so in my head, I’m right on time with a round up of 2013 blog! Amy wrote one of these a few weeks ago – you…
