My Faith


Yes, I am a Christian. I go to church with my family and I love to surround myself with other Christians. I strive to make myself a better person and there are many ways in which I can get closer to God. I will share with you a few that I do.

There are three main things I do in my daily routine, the first usually happens in the morning after breakfast. It is a more recent addition to my faith journey that started as a New Year's resolution this year and I have managed to keep it up since then. It is daily scripture writing, so I take a few verses straight from the Bible each morning and write them out, highlighting verses that stand out to me. I think that this is a great way to spend time with God and really sink in what the Bible says.

 Also, in the evenings after dinner, I sit with my family and we read  from the Bible, the readings for Sunday at church. We also read devotional books such as "The Big Book of Animal Devotions" by William. L. Coleman. This has 250 sessions full of facts about God's creations that link back to important messages. This type of devotional book is great for families and new Christians.


 Lastly, each night before I go to sleep, I pray. This is simply spending time with God and telling him your worries and gratitude. Although you can pray at anytime you want, it is important to allocate a certain time to just stop and focus on God.

 Now there's just one more thing to remember. No matter who you are, God loves you and as long as you love him and believe in him, he 
will take you to heaven to be with him at the end. Also, I don't expect all Christians to do everything that I do because not everyone has the time. But trust me, before I started doing this, I didn't think it was possible either. But you can always make time. There's always time for God.

A Monster Calls - Patrick Ness

Image
I stocked up on books from the library to read over the holidays and one of the books I picked up was  A Monster Calls  by Patrick Ness. I must say that this dark and mysterious book wouldn't have been the type I would usually go for, but I was intrigued by the dramatic pictures that crept through the pages of the book. I enjoyed it too, not in the way you would normally enjoy a book, but in the way that makes you read more and more, and when you're not reading it, you're thinking about it. Also, it's one of those books that, once it ends, it takes a moment of pondering when you stare blankly into space and give several satisfied sighs. Yeah- it's one of those books. It begins with a character called Conor. His life is pretty hard to say the least. His mum's cancer is getting worse and one horrific nightmare haunts his sleep. Then, the monster calls. Conor's mum always said it was a yew tree, but this yew tree turns into a monster who is taller than th

Goodreads

I am a hungry bookworm who is constantly hunting for new, delicious books to devour. Up until quite recently, I've had trouble finding the right books and good opinions on them. Since I discovered "Goodreads", an app and a website ,( https://www.goodreads.com) most of those problems have been solved.  "Goodreads" is an online site with thousands of reviews, ratings and recommendations on books. Any books can be searched and marked as "read", "to read" or "currently reading". If a book is marked as "currently reading" there is a option of entering the page number that you're on and the percentage of progress through the book will be shown. With each book comes its blurb, information on the author, a rating out of five stars based on heaps of personal ratings, and finally, many comments and reviews from other readers.  One of my favourite things about "Goodreads" is the fact that there are so many revi

The Beginning of my trip in EUROPE!

Image
I apologise for my absence from uploading blog posts for the past few months, but it is partially due to a family holiday spent in Europe. Spread throughout this post and several other future posts, I’m going to share with you my amazing experience and recommendations from all over the continent in the cities of London, Dublin, Paris and Rome. Firstly, in London, there were so many famous landmarks and buildings to see, we didn’t run out of things to do until the end of the week. Highlights included Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and the British Museum. I found Westminster Abbey absolutely incredible. We bought audio guides and got tickets to see inside the Abbey, it was definitely worth it. The building is very old and the architecture is amazing. On the walls and even under the floor are the burial places for the most famous people of British and European history. The sculptures and decorations covering the coffins and tombs are very detailed and there were endless
