Family Ties

Ephesians 4:2

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

 

So yet again, i have witnessed another one of the many arguments that happens between my grandmother and Father. These arguments are pretty stupid really often about nothing!

 I sit here at my computer and wonder to myself " Why do two people who i love so very dearly have to argue so much?"

it gets to me but i am however holding my tounge.. At least i was until i heard my Grandmother shouting at my dad, in the end the only option was for me to go downstairs and tell her to shut up as i could hear the shouting from upstairs. not only does is get to me, but my grandmother always thinks that i should be taking her side, now she is not my mother, nor is she right the whole time, she says and i quote " she still feels as if she is 30 years old"  again clearly this is not the case as she constantly forgets things,  and its also a bit like treading on eggshells whenver she is around.

As a christian i often look to the bible for support, the bible states that you should be humble and gentle as well as being patient and that you should also show one another love. clearly this is not hapening at the moment! maybe things will get better if she decides to move out alltogether to her new bungalow.

On a brighter note however, i have my church weekend away this weekend (17th-19th June) funnily enought the theme for the weekend is to be a family growing in christ together, faith together and in love for one another. ( think i will be doing a lot of praying this weekend)

Faith

I thought that this time i would write about something a little different as well as filling you all in about what i have  been up to.
My first year at univeristy is over all ready and i can't quite believe it, I have passed all my modules and have found myself getting intrested in method acting whilst doing research about it for my last assignment of the term.
As for home life, like any normal family things can be a little bit hectic, so in these times i find myself turning to my faith and praying at every opportunity i get.
So what does my faith mean to me, or to any other person?
i get asked this question sometimes by non believers, my response is that, knowing that i have someone to believe in makes me feel at peace within myself, also knowing that there is someone watching over me. a book i have been reading each night called "The best of the word today to me describes my faith in the best way "Draw Near to God and he will draw near to you" - James 4:8
i feel a bit sorry for atheists , for when something good happens, who do they give thanks to? and when something bad happens who do they run to? my opinion is that if they wait until they can explain God, then  they will never turn to him, for me  however, faith in God gives me the courrage and assurance that there is a heaven and that one day he will return. when this day comes i will be ready!

christmas 2010

Once again Christmas came far too quickley. On christmas eve dad and i went to the local chiurch of england church for the midnight service, it was quite good apart from the smells and bells, and i took something away from the service, meaning that, christmas is all about spending time with the loved ones.
christmas day was good, and i got mostly things i had asked for which included some boot slippers, money, books etc. i also go the little luxorys such as chocolate which was nice.

NEW  YEAR 2011

Well for new year, dad went away up to lincoln with his friend lawrence and other people, so nana and i just enjoyed the new year together. i cooked a mini buffet for us and at midnight we toasted the new year in together.   already i think this year is going to qucikely as we are nearly at the end of janurary already. Wonder what this year will bring?

to all reading this, have a wonderful year, and if i don't get to speak to you,  poke me on facebook!

God bless
