So sorry that there is no nice graphic header thing. The graphic editor program I use was playing up so I couldn't do it.

This is cropped.

I tried to make it look a bit creepy. ;)

My friend, Melissa, and I.

\\ October Highlights \\

• I finished my photography assignment and got 8/10. I am pretty happy with that because is was a hard assignment.
• Attended a youth retreat.
• The school holidays have been and gone.
• I made my first roast chicken dinner and it turned out great.
• I moved into a new bedroom and I have it all to myself!
• We went to a book sale and now I have no room for anymore books, unless I put them on the floor.

// Completed Goals //

• I didn't waste time in the holidays. I was always busy especially at the retreat.
• Planted a few things in the garden

Sadly that was all that I completed for my October goals but hopefully I will be better next month.

My November goals are:

• Start making Christmas presents
• Practise a few carols on guitar to play at Christmas
• Learn 3 new songs on guitar
• Finish reading the book of Mark
• Write to my pen pals

Favourites
This month I will share my favourite songs.

Tis so Sweet - Jadon Lavik
I found this guy on Spotify and really like his style.
Lord, I Need You - Chris Tomlin
This song is so true!
You are My All in All - not any one in particular
There is a version by Brooke Griffith which I really like.
Give Me Jesus - Fernando Ortega
Great song!

I listen to these on Spotify so if you don't have it you might not be able to find them. Some of them might be on Youtube though.

So that was October. The 10th month of 2017. 2017 is slipping away fast. Don't waste it.

Songs, Scripture, an Excuse and a Decision

So as some of you may be wondering where I was last week, I am going to tell you. I was at a youth retreat called Rejuvenate. I had been looking forward to it for ages and it's now been and gone. I wish I could go back and relive all the fantastic moments I had with loads of wonderful young Christians.
We sung great songs, learnt new things, thought about thing we never had before and had fun.

Some of the song we sung were ones I had not heard before but now I love them. They include:

~ Good Good Father by Chris Tomlin
~ I heard the Voice of Jesus Say
~ First Love by Chris Tomlin
~ Speak O Lord
~ Lord, I need you
~ Behold the throne of God Above


In our morning devotions we went over Psalm 91 which I really like. My favourite verses are Verses 1-4.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God: in Him I will trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Isn't that a lovely passage?

*slips in a random picture*

Now my decision is that I want to teach myself guitar. I was inspired by the many people at the retreat that played guitar and I just love the sound!
Luckily we do have a couple guitar's so I don't need to worry about that though one day I might get my own one.

I think that's about all for now.
