We've had some pretty good weather here down south recently, considering its England during the beginning to march. Perhaps spring has finally arrived. Anyways, today I just wanted to sit and chat.
Its been a whooole week since I posted on here so we've got some catching up to do. I might do one of these once a week...we'll see. One thing I don't want to do on here is set things that I say I will definitely do in case I don't. Make any sense? Probably not. This week's been pretty stressful, with mocks and controlled assessments I think our teachers are trying to kill us off.
On an up side, I went shopping today!!! I bought a few things so I might do a small haul or maybe a spring look-book depending on how brave I'm feeling. I think I might also do a 'roomspirations' post. Recently I've been a liiittle obsessed with pinterest, particularly the interior/ room inspirations section and so I may have bought some things... I mean surely I can't be the only one spending hours looking at kitchens, living rooms and boho bedrooms?? I should probably have done some art homework todayn (#rebel) but yh...that didn't happen.
"I'm latching onto you.......could I lock in your love??..." mmhmm Sam Smith...so mainstream. Also, if you have heard Pentatonix 'La la Latch'...you need to...just saying. Two amaaazing songs mashed and sung by five people with incredible voices with no other instruments, need I say more? I've really been getting into Bastille this week too, especially 'Pompeii' you should seriously check it out (the link to my playlist is on my previous post).
A really inspiring passage I read this week was from Psalm 140. It says:

A really inspiring passage I read this week was from Psalm 140. It says:
Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
...The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
...I know that the Lord will maintain
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
...The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
...I know that the Lord will maintain
Basically, King David is crying out to God asking him to protect him from retaliating to evil men (who have purposed to make my steps stumble). I find this really inspiring that even one of the greatest men that ever lived had issues with people that just wanted a reaction from him. He prayed to God and God gave him strength not to give those people what they wanted. Even if you're not a Christian, you can still take from this that sometimes people are just annoying and what a reaction from you and you just need to find the courage and resilience to not give it to them. Whether someone in the street or someone at school, they're not worth you're time so, as hard as it is, its best to just ignore them. Or you could try make friends with them, sometimes that's quite so easy...
A verse I literally just came across has reminded and reassured me of something very important. Proverbs 19:21 says:
You can make many plans,
But the Lords purpose will prevail.
I've felt a lot of pressure at the moment, with GCSE's looming, to know what I want to do after. I can't even get my A'levels options down to 4 so I don't see I'm going to chose one thing to do at university/college/wherever I decide to go, whatever i decide to do. This verse lifts a burden knowing that even if I don't have a plan, God will always have one and, whether its what I want or not, its what's best for me.
So that's all for today :) hope its been useful/enlightening/made-no-sense-at-all [delete as appropriate]
lots of internet hugs, Abbey xx
