When Life Gives You Lemons...

At some point you've probably heard someone quoting "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" Yeah? Well, now there are loads more like- "When life gives you lemons, throw them back!" or "When life gives you lemons make orange juice and wonder in amazement how you did it."
I want to talk about 'throwing those lemons back'. So maybe you don't like lemons? Maybe, their too sour? Or too messy? Too stingy?
Okay so, when life throws stuff at you that you don't want caught in your hair, you're going to get annoyed, angry and frustrated. Think of a time where something happened to you and you just wanted to throw it back, make it go away. We can't always do what others expect or want, it can be too hard. It's not that easy to accept those 'lemons' and make something good out of it. I know that if something brings me down and makes me really upset I just start yelling questions, too who? God. I start shouting at God, asking Him why he 'kindly gave me those lemons' or 'let that happen to me' and I get answers. I do! Usually, a few weeks later I think back to that time and say "God really did answer those questions...". When Isabella Grace (my baby cousin) was born dead I didn't know what to do. God brought her back for a reason. She has been spreading God's love, power and grace ALL over the world! I was so confused and angry at God but I realised that he brought little Izzy back for a HUGE reason. So are all of those lemons that bad? The answer is no! Yet, some of them could make the lemonade a bit cloudy for a while.
God is with and he is preparing those lemons for you, to teach you, teach others and love Him.
Next time something bad happens try and look up and remember what God is doing in your life.

God Bless :)

Back To The Boggy Land Of Eire...

It's Thursday! That means.. TOMORROW IS FRIDAY! Are you as excited as me?
This weekend I get to go back to Monaghan in the South of Ireland.
I have missed it so much! Missed family, friends and church. So, I get to go to my Nanny's to relax and have an amazing weekend. Yey! What are you doing this weekend? Make it a good one and do everything with God :)

Love and Blessings!

Just Some Lyrics

Do you wonder why you have to, feel the things that hurt you, if there's a God who loves you, where is he now? Well, maybe there are things you can't see, and all those things are happening to bring a better ending.. some day, somehow, you'll see, you'll see...
Would you dare, would you dare to believe that you still have a reason to sing?

Those are just a few lyrics that have been running around my head for a few days.
The song is below in a previous post but it's called Before The Morning by Josh Wilson.

My New Journal

Over the weekend I bought a new journal :) My previous one was almost finished and was bursting with sheets, so I thought that it was time for a change! I hate leaving my old one because of all the sheets and verses, song lyrics, memories, prayers etc. but I'll always keep it so I can reflect on how God has changed my life in that time. Journalling is great! It's so easy if you love to write or even draw! My friend prefers to draw her feelings or write song lyrics. You can do anything! There aren't any rules! Let your mind go wild, scribble your thoughts, fears, worries, thank-you prayers, questions.. everything! And have fun doing it, it shouldn't be a chore! I know that it helps me, so try it! It could be your thing!

My new journal:


Have fun journalling!

Josh Wilson- Before The Morning

Really, really love this song <3

Have a great day :)

Isabella

Little Isabella has mastered so many things! She can sneeze, cry open her eyes, moves her arms and legs, be aware of pain and even use a nappy. She is well on her way and God is changing her life every second of every day. She is a beautiful little girl in need of God's love and care. She has made it so far! She goes for an MRI scan on Thursday. This is a very very major thing, it will determine the damage to her little brain (hopefully none). Prayer is greatly needed.

Please pray for a miracle!
Izzy is showing God's love all over the world.

God bless!

God is There Through The Sadness

This week has been a tough one for me. My little baby cousin, Isabella, was born early in the week. She really isn't well. She is just so beautiful and looks perfect, but she is sick. I have asked so many people to pray... And they are! You all know who you are, so thank you! I thought that there may be no light at the end of this particular tunnel but the most amazing thing happened today. They doctors took her off the ventilator to see if she could breathe without it, and she could! She was breathing, all by herself! God is good. So good! God's love and protection shines through the darkest of times. 

Heavenly Father,
God, I want to thank you for your love and care for little Izzy and her family. You have given them hope for Isabella and shown them that you are there. Please continue to do this God and keep healing Isabella. We don't know yet what state she will be in when she awakens but heal her God, make her well.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
