Amazing truth in one of the lines from one of the Newday songs! 

'God is not constrained to clouds or temples, curtain torn in two, spirit breaking out.'

'If God is big enough to blame in your troubles, then He is also big enough for you to trust him in the midst of them too.'

I love how God has put me in a family that enjoy playing board games! It is definitely one thing I enjoy most about coming home! Reason no. 692 :)

Yesterday I went to the chiropodist and I now have lovely smooth heels! It is definitely so much better than having really hard and cracked heels! Reason no. 691 :)

The weather has been amazing this past week: so much sunshine and almost no rain - ideal weather for camping! Reason no. 690 :)

This week I was reminded just how much I can trust God with my money. Everything in this world belongs to Him - it's all His. Everything I own, all the money I have is down to Him. He's provided me with so much because He is a generous God. He really is not a stingy God - His storehouses are full and they're overflowing! If I'm happy to trust God with my eternal salvation, I'm pretty sure I can trust Him with meeting my needs in the day to day too! Therefore I can be free to give it back to Him and not worry if my bank balance is decreasing as He will provide for my each and every need! What that will look like in the day to day, I'm not too sure yet! But He is my Provider and He is extremely generous! Reason no. 689 :)

Yesterday I came back after a week at Newday (christian youth camp)! God is good, He's alive and loves spending time with His children. I went with my church in Manchester and it was incredible! Yesterday before we started packing up, I went for a walk around the camp site at 5:30 in the morning and God reminded me of what He has done this year! Last summer God told me to move churches, which was scary and I had no idea what lay ahead. But God was very good to me. He put me in a church where family is right at the heart of it, He's given me an amazing boyfriend (definitely not what I was expecting!) and He's given me the opportunity to get alongside some great young people! One of the talks in the 12-14s was all about to church and how we all have a role to play - each person's uniqueness makes up the church. This week God has shown me that there is value in being an introvert. It would be something that would really annoy me about myself, I would always see it as second best to being an extrovert, but God actually values that so much and can use my introvertedness in what God has called me to do!
