Gods Got ya Back

What do I write after an amazing weekend full of celebrations. My big boy turned 11 and good friends Will and Emma got married.
When my heart is full like this it makes me realise the wonderful life he has given me.
I danced the night away with so much joy in my heart while God looks after the stuff that I can not handle. In life we have ups and downs with stuff that our human self find it totally impossible to handle, we were made to cast all our worry, doubt, and fear into the hands of Jesus. In exchange he gives us joy, peace and never ending love.

Some of you will find this hard to understand as the question has risen by lots of you why did God allow this cancer to be in my body. Well he certainty didn't, but can totally get rid of it. The devil picked the wrong one this time to trick when he picked me. My shield of faith went straight up and the sword went swiftly into action.

Like my pastor said this morning in church, I am in covenant with God and he watches my back. The road can be tough but he will give me the strength to deal with all this.

Patience is something that I struggle with and like things done yesterday. Waiting for my date to start Chemo is hard as I want to get going. It seems so long from being diagnosed to treatment. Hopefully chase this tomorrow.

The pictures are of my son Philip on his birthday yesterday we had a great family time eating pizza and my wonderful sister, bro, Sophie and Sam. Love this family so much they are such a blessing to me. My sister Sarah is a rock in my life and cares for me so much.

Tonight my eyes are so tired and I need to hit my bed. Thank you for reading and please comment below. I love hearing from all of you around the world.

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 Unopened Present

The unopened Present Recently I had the opportunity to share an experience in my life that happened long before my cancer Journey. This time may have been over shadowed in recent years by that journey, but seems to now be the right time to allow the experience to come into the world and help others in similar situations. Back in 2003 after being a mum to Philip. My Husband Matt and I decided to have another child. To our delight, I fell pregnant and the 9 months of sickness begun. A pregnancy of no complications, a healthy baby, and a home being filled with Pink. We found out that we were to have a baby Girl and named her Alice Mary Bourne. The excitement set in as we prepared to meet our baby girl due in Early September 2003. At 37 Weeks I had seen the Community Midwife at home, and all was well, the following day I had a scan Booked at the local Hospital just to check that all was ok. That day in the scan room we found out that our beautiful baby Girl had died. In a space ...
