Things i've missed the most about Scotland











Yes this is my My favourite
Chips and curry sauce!! it was 10:30pm and i was craving chips and curry sauce so my lovely grandpa said he'll take me into town to the chippie, to add to my disaster All the chippies were closed, we drove around just to double check but nae luck mate! i was shocked! luckily the chip van stops on my street, YAS!!

this amazing Van looks a little like this and it made my day!




This morning my lovely mother made me a Scottish Breakfast yummy yummy,

Blessed beyond description




Words can't even begin to say how incredibly blessed I am
I can honestly say I'm spoiled by the heavens, I'm spoiled by my Creator.

SO I live by faith and it has been and still is the most challenging, exciting, powerful, indescribable experience.

God provides, provides , provides he provides my EVERY need.

He places beautiful people into my life who bless, bless and bless with no hesitation, they are simply led by the spirit.

I am never without, I never lack because my creator provides

Don't get me wrong but Sometimes there's days where I worry and struggle by having no money in my pocket or bank but there's this peace and tug of the holy spirit reminding me not to worry and then 'POP' or should i say 'Shebang' a $100 comes from a friend or an anonymous person in a card or letter.
I'm awestruck, thankful, overwhelmed, joyful! and I give God all the glory.
Sometimes I fall to my knees and wonder, Lord? why? why bless me so? I haven't done anything to deserve this?
but a little reminder of the Holy spirit, you will reap what you sow.
I love to bless, and I'm constantly blessed, hummmmm God your funny.
yes i love to admit, I'm spoiled by the heavens and lack nothing, Clothes? seriously I receive random bags of clothes from people all the time.



Just a few months ago I felt the need of a laptop, and I felt a poke to pray, not a 'lord if you give me a laptop my life will be so much better prayer' but a reminder that God knows our needs and desires as long as its not selfish, so I felt almost hesitant to pray for this, but i did.
A few days after I was in the church office with my youth pastor's Jason and Kelsey, and Kelsey has this cute cheesy smile and pulled out a laptop and told me that they wanted to bless me!
WHOA!!!
God knows your needs and desires, He wanted me to have this laptop!

So Don't worry about your life because if you hold it to close you will lose it

* Here is my POINT:


  • Put God 1st life goes best
  • Put God 1st why worry? why stress?
  • Put God 1st you will lack nothing
    Put God 1st you will stretch (ladies I'm not talking stretch marks I'm talking about faith)
    Put God 1st you will have revelation.
  • Put God 1st you will be blessed, GARANTEED with a stamp! (maybe not a stamp, it just sounded good)


  • There is freedom when you put God 1st

How can I stand?

How can i STAND here and not be moved?

How can I stand here and not be in Awe of you

How can I stand here and not Fall to my Face at your feet

How can I not bow?

how can I not raise my hands?

How can I Not worship?

How can I stand here and not be moved?

Tell me, how can you stand face to face with the saviour, with the one who gave it all and not be moved?
Tell me, how can you stand face to face with the one who adores you
Tell me, how can you stand here and not be in AWE.

I don't think it is possible for you to stand and not be moved
because the presence of the lord is so powerful and so overwhelming so indescribable that you can't possible stand and not be moved.

You shall be moved


- so i'll stand with arms high and heart abondoned in awe of the one who gave it all
so i'll stand my soul lord to you surrendered all i am is yours
