Reason no. 1040...

At the weekend I went to see Hacksaw Ridge, which has an incredible story. There's a scene in the film, which just shows God's incredible faithfulness and how He is the source of strength too. The main character knows there are many wounded soldiers on the battleground, the rest of his battalion have left the area, but he stays put. He goes into the war zone to rescue these people unarmed, not knowing whether the enemy is close or not. As he rescues each person he turns to God and asks Him to help get him one more. He knows he can't do it in his own strength, but that he certainly can with God. He knows God to be His Equipper, Sustainer and Strength. At the end of the film it says he rescued 75 men that time. Reason  no. 1040 :)

Reason no. 1039...

This is a wonderful story of God's kindness and generosity...Last week I was sat in the library and working on my dissertation and texted David how nice it would be to go on a date. That same day David gets given £40 and told to take me out for a meal! The money also paid for a cinema trip too! He really is the God of the detail and not just wanting to meet what we need, He goes beyond! Reason no. 1039 :)

Reason no. 1038...

I am thankful for people who are so gently remind me to stand on His promises. When I feel like I am failing my degree and I am way out of my depth, I take hold of God's prophetic word about the degree and can stand confidently that I am where God wants me to be. Reason no. 1038 :)

Reason no. 1037...

It has been a while, but there's a lot of reasons waiting to be written. It's been a time of stress and fear, but I am thankful for the people that God has put around me who have kept praying for breakthrough when I struggled to lift my eyes above the circumstances. He is a good Father. Reason no. 1037 :)
