Christmas 2015

I woke up around 8am to get ready. I washed myself and brushed my teeth and we left the house at 11am. Me, My Grandma, Dorcas and Elaine took the cab, whilst my Mum, Eric and Sarah took the underground. The train left the station at 1:07 and we arrived in Liverpool at 3ish.
Christmas Day.
I woke up showered, bruised my teeth and in the evening we ate (what more do you need).
Roast Potatoes
Mac and Cheese
Chicken
Stew
Salad
Rice (white and Jellof)
Beef
Lamb
Gravy
Turkey...can't forget the turkey
Boxing Day.
Family (that wasn't me) went to buy some presents. Eventually when everyone had wrapped each and every present. We all sat in the living room. My brother Tops gave them out one by one. And one by one we opened them (there was a lot). We were done in about an hour. I thought it would take us longer.
On Sunday we all went to the Potters House Church. Pastor Yomi spoke about the inner you. About having the outside match the inside. He talked about a man who killed his wife and then killed his kids because they witnessed it. He told a few stories about people who committed crimes. Why because their insides were not right with God. God knows about the secret doors, the doors that you don't want anyone to see. The doors you didn't even know were there.
What I took from it is getting your mindset on the right track with God, your thoughts, your feelings. Things you say need to be of God. You need to worry about yourself not anyone else. Because at the end of the day it's about you and only you. I think that what God was trying to drill into my head is...it will be you standing at the heavenly gates. So only you decide what comes in and affects you. Learn to let the things...the words that hurt you, that are unhealthy to your mind. Leave them behind don't let them come into your mind.
We stayed until the second of January. Most of the family had gone home by the 1st so New Year's Day was quiet.
