Getting Closer

There seems to be such a build up to this weekend I love how we can come together as communities to celebrate different events. As a class we have been busy learning the hand jive to perform at our jubilee celebration. I was not born to teach dance and the children keep laughing at me for getting it wrong.
I am into my last week at work now and so sad to go on sick leave. I love watching the next generation learn and discover life. I will miss them.
As a school we are so blessed to be part of the church of England. It allows the kids to really experience a deeper knowledge of God. We were visited by the bishop of Rochester on Tuesday, such a great man doing what he was called to in life. Following his dreams. I hope that each child in the school will see that they are important and can dream to be whatever they want to to be in life.

Finally I have my dates for chemo, I Start on the 12th June. Seems so far away still. The butterfly's in my tummy are starting to flutter and my brain keeps going into panic mode of how is this going to effect me. Time will only tell.

As it all get closer it becomes so much real to me that the body I am walking around in does have a nasty disease but thank God it does not effect by soul. My mind has to remain in line with my sprit not my body. God will deal with my body through the amazing gifts of doctors and medicine.

Until the weekend, I say Goodnight x

Choosing the right path in the trials of life

“Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.” — Romans 5:2–4 (NLT) Lately, I’ve been on a journey—one of learning, healing, and finally accepting that some things in life require more than just pushing through. For years, I believed that if I just kept going, if I stayed strong, I could outrun my past. That if I ignored the thoughts and the weight of what had happened, it would somehow disappear. But trauma doesn’t work that way, does it? No matter how much time passes, pain that isn’t healed finds a way to resurface. And I’ve learned that healing isn’t about “just getting on with it.” It’s about allowing yourself the space to be cared for, to be...

The life and story continues - Finding Strength & Peace in Loss

Finding Strength & Peace in Loss This February I will be taking up the challenge of Running/Walking a mile a day to raise awareness of a charity that supported us when we lost our daughter.  I know i have mentioned this time in my life before back on previous blog's, but maybe today  its the words that you just needed to hear.  Back in 2003, at just 39 weeks pregnant, we sadly lost our daughter, Alice. A time no parent should ever have to go through. How do you even prepare for that? The pink room was all set, the fresh smell of baby clothes ready to be worn, and then—the most heartbreaking news: the baby we had carried for nearly nine months had died. No medical reason, no explanation, just the devastating words that the cord had broken. Giving birth and then heading home without our baby in our arms, replaced instead by overwhelming grief and heartbreak, was something I never imagined I would face. It was a grief so deep that it felt like it could swallow me whole...

The Beginning May 2012

So I have hit a time in my life that has come unexpected but totally ready for. No one likes to be told that you have cancer and that the next year will be hard and challenging. God has always been by my side in many circumstances and I have no doubt that he will not leave me now. So the fight has begun in kicking the devil out of my life and looking towards my God for strength and healing. I have to ask him in all this "let your will be done. I am still hear serving you, use me and grow me." So the journey begins of battling this disease out of my body. I hope that by reading my fight with Lymphoma will encourage you to keep strong in whatever you are facing and smiling that happy smile. Let it begin.......
