Hello again

Hello, me again Before you all get worried and the wrong idea nothing is wrong I'm fine I'm not a woman of very expressive emotion and as I write my heart gets poured out in such a way that my mouth could never do. So writing this blog is allowing access to a place not many get to, so I have decided to write again and share the crazy world my feet walk in.
I find that as a women doing life, I'm not the only one with highs and lows, good or bad. Typically we all sometimes hold back and just say "I'm okay" but deep down feeling all messed up inside.

So I asked you to walk with me in my life's journey and somehow show you those things you thought you did is just you but really are just the norm for all of us.

As you may know or not I am a Christian totally in love with Jesus please do not turn off now as I'm not going to preach to you, God will pop up now and then as my whole life is centred round him. All,that I am and all that I do, I try to do with his love. I am not ashamed of my faith it is just who I am.

If you read the beginning of this blog from last year then you will know that I'm in remission from lymphoma cancer, a time in my life that was so hard and testing on my faith. Moving  on from that time I have met many people and stopped and talk to them and learnt the biggest question was, how was I so positive why did I not loose my faith?

One simple answer is "God was the same before during and after" he was no different in it all.  It did make me change as my faith levels raised and life became so important, if I proclaim Jesus as my saviour before I was ill why should I not when I was. running into him and not away was the only way. I would rather go through something like that with strength and not fear. 

The Bible is very clear that the "joy of the Lord is my strength" this is what people look for in a christian. We need to be who we say we are, Not all talk and no action the world watches intently at how Christians react to trouble needing to stand out and hold onto our faith when the rubber hits the Road.(please its okay to wobble and have those moments, we are all human and not perfect after all) keep going you can do it you will find more strength in him than without him.

I love chocolate and will admit I eat a lot, this is probably explain why I will never be a size 10! but hey Ho I love it and will keep eating it. We all  need to have a little bit of pleasure in our daily routine I learnt this last year, there is so much more to life than work sleep and eating. 

Be spontaneous every now and then make time for that giggle time with your kids, rolled down that bank, skip down the road bounce on the trampoline as high as you can go. 

When the heart is happy your life will become less stressed, the problems maybe still there but a change of attitude will allow your spirit to control your emotions, not your emotions controlling you. 

Whatever life throws at you, Remember you will always pull through. There will always be light at the end of the tunnel,  you can overcome and you will overcome. Don't be put down, stand high and  carry on.
Thank you for reading and until next time.....have a great day :)

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 ...
