Long blog coming up!!!!

Well back from Ibiza after having a great time with the girls, there was a really lack of sleep on the holiday as people over there don't tend to go out til about 11pm which means your not in til about 5am/6am.

Had a big God moment whilst I was there. On my last day there was a women on the beach all curled up with her face down in the sad. It looked a bit like a yoga position or something but then the lads we met there went over and started taking the mick by going up behind her and pretending to have sex with her. This is when I realised something was wrong. I went over to see if she was ok as by know she had changed positions on to her side but her body looked very limp. When I got to her, her face was covered in sand and she had snot coming from her nose and she was crying. I could also tell that she was drunk as when I asked if she was alright she could hardly get a word out and I struggled to understand her. I sat there and thought, I've got to sort this out but didn't know how.
So at that moment I prayed and asked God to send me help or give me strength to deal with this and get the lady sorted out. Literally with in about 30 seconds a lady called Jackie came over and could see I may need some help. Between us we got the lady off the beach and sobered up for her flight home a few hours later. During this time I saw Jackie was wearing a cross so I asked her ' are you a christian?' and she said 'yes, are you?' and I said 'yes' and then it dawned on me that God had answered my prayer for help by sending Jackie who happened to be a christian also to sort the lady out. Once we got the lady in a taxi me and Jackie had a chat and she said she had lost her faith in the last year after loosing her cousin in a car crash and today has really opened her eyes (I told her about my answered pray for help). All this is great because I feel God used me to help the lady in need but also help someone come back to faith. How Exciting!! I told all my mates as well and they were quite surprised.

Also While I was there on the first night we wore T-shirts my friend had printed. They all said the normal stuff like Juicy Jo, Saucy Sarah etc except mine which said Econemical Emma which means someone who promotes Christianity. It was good because alot of people didn't know what it meant (including me) so they came over and asked, this stirred up alot of conversations with people asking me about my faith and what they thought. One guy said he did used to believe but cant now with the job he does as he works in a care home and sees alot of old people dying.
I said that we all die one day and instead of focusing on the death why not focus on the fact that these people may be going to heaven which makes the whole thing a more positive thought. I asked if I could pray for him but he didn't want me to (think he was a bit embarrassed) so I went and had a dance and prayed for him then on my own. Quite different praying in the middle of a night club but I figure God is still listening!

Then on the last day our flight was at 2am so we were planning on having an evening dinner and then getting a taxi to the airport. When we got back to the hotel the taxi's hadn't been booked and the hotel wouldn't book us one as they said they would all be busy so we had to just try and hail one down. but there was 8 of us girls and about 10 lads that we met all trying to get a taxi. Panic starting to set in with us all worrying whether we would manage to get one in time for our flight so again I prayed about it and told my friends not to panic cos I'd prayed and God would sort it. And sure enough he did, so again more answered prayer.
