The Build Up

I am finding it hard to put into words today of how many emotions I have been through. It's been a day of excitement both in church and around the country.

My body is not really running with my mind now and the smallest of things seem to ware me out.
Leading worship this morning shows me just how much Gods strength works within us.
Being a part of an amazing bunch of people at CPC keeps me totally fixed on the goal and running the race.

I have spent the afternoon watching the celebrations of the jubilee snuggled up on the sofa just in awe of a lady who has served for 60 years without given up. Such an inspiration and role model for us all. I hope I can continue to live out my life serving wherever I am needed just like her.

Leaving school on Friday was one of the hardest things to do and makes me realise that the next stage in all of this is treatment. I know God is always going before me and how he has worked the miracles with my Job and will continue to always provide.

Have a fantastic weekend of celebrations

Love ya

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...

Bed rest

Oh dear I'm on bed rest until I get my strength back again ;( . since coming out of hospital on Saturday I have not recovered as quickly as before. I need to watch my day 4-6 after chemo as that's when my body is at it's lowest. This is really hard as Matt is working all the time and kids have to be pushed from pillar to post. Thank goodness nanny and grandad were on on standby last night again. All the parents have been so great at helping out. I am just going to have to take this one day at at a time. I just feel gutted that I cannot spend time with the kids in there holiday. I miss family days out and easy things of just going for walks. When this is all over I think a good holiday is going to be welcome. I love my husband so much he is trying so hard to keep things going, working extra hours to make up my wage and juggling house work. I am so blessed by him. I had a good cry yesterday and let out all the emotion, the stress had been building up. I now feel much b...
