Burger King Advert 2

Also my street....

Burger King Advert

This was filmed on my street.

Distant Memory!

Wow, I must reintroduce myself to my blog again, in fact the whole world of blogging. I've not read any for ages either! Bad Ruth! Lots has been going on which is why I have not found time to update the world with my thoughts and findings! I shall make more of an effort.

Accidental Success

I was taking some new publicity shots for n:flame and this shape in the flames appeared. It was my favourite shot from the 200+ I took that day!

I've been non existant on my blog recently. But I was sent a link to this video today and I wanted to shared it as I think it is a really well made film. It would be good for a youth group discussion.

n:flame Gap Year

If Lewis can do it then so can I!!

The pressures I'm feeling...

Social Networking

I was having a discussion yesterday about how I think that social networking and things like MSN are stunting young peoples personal and interaction skills. Young people would much prefer to type out their issues than talk face to face with someone.

Today I gained my 700th friend on Facebook. I do genuinely know all of these people on there, but it made me think about why I have Facebook, and how much of my life I am allowing random friends to see!!

Moving Art

I spent the day in Scotland a few weeks ago for a freelance photography job. I had some time to use up before i flew back to London and spend a chunk of time in the Aberdeen Art Gallery. They have recently acquired a Tracey Emin piece for their collection. This is part of series, but the words in this heart really spoke to me. It said 'I felt you and I knew you loved me'. Straight away I felt God speaking to me on this. I know I am loved by him, taking the 'd' off this quote sums it all up for me. When looking for an image on good old google for this (as I couldn't take pictures in the gallery, boo) I found a few of her other pieces, they are obviously intended as mushy-couple-love, but I hear God speaking these words over me.

On this little gallery jaunt I also discovered some of the 2004 Hirst/Bailey Stations Of The Cross work. This collection is not for everyone - thats my warning- but I found some of the images interesting.

Your Support is Needed

Friends of mine are in a hip hop crew called 29th Chapter. They have a single out this week and downloading it would really help to support them. Details can be found on their website.

Pyjama Ban!

This article on the BBC website made me chuckle...

Photo of my Mood...

This is what I hope is the link to my new favourite snow photo. If it doesn't take you to the right photo then here it is...

UK Snow

I was just sent this satellite picture that was taken on 7th Jan. I've taken some nice snow shots this week which I will post a link to soon.

Christmas and Gingers!

Two articles have amused me today involving Santa and Tesco!!

Nice Sentiment

Its been a bit of an up and down week unfortunately, but a good friend sent me these words. I don't know who it is by, but I liked it!

"In the rain, stand your ground and you will smile again. And so you grow..."

Ladies, give this a read...

I enjoyed reading this article today on the Sophia website.

Slowly, but surely...

I want to encourage everyone that it can be done. Loosing weight isn't that difficult when its done right and properly. Eating well and doing a small bit of exercise regularly is all I have been doing. I'm now over halfway through my weightloss goal. ☺

Food For Thought

I found these quotes online. I really liked them, as hard as they are to live out...

"Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone; to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God to the Christian says, "No, not until you're satisfied and fulfilled and content with living, loved by me alone and giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone.”

"I love you, my child, and until you discover that only in me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me-exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or belongings.”

"I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow me to bring it to you. You just keep watching me, expecting the greatest things. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. You must wait.”

"Don't be anxious and don't worry. Don't look around at the things you think you want. Just keep looking off and away up to me, or you'll miss what I have to show you."

“And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would ever dream. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready, I am working this minute to have both of you ready at the same time, and until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I've prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and this is perfect love.”

"And Dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection and love that I offer you with myself. Know I love you. I am God Almighty, believe and be satisfied."

Sombre Day

Yesterday the ashes of my Uncle were scattered. It was the first time I had ever been witness to such a ceremony. It is always a lot more glam on TV; on a beach or off the back of a ship or something! It was on my family's plot with just me my Mum and my Aunt. We all wish we had prepared something to say or read, but I got the chance to say a little prayer on my Aunts request. It was a moving time for us all, but I was glad I could be there with both of them as they said goodbye to their brother.

We Shall Remember Them...
