This afternoon I went round my halls of residence with a few others advertising the Christian Union Carol Service. This was great! We gave out a few Christmas-y treats too! People's responses were so good and quite a few showed an interest too. Others simply appreciated the food, which was equally nice! One fun hour. Reason no. 68 :)

I love having Wednesday's off! To be able to manage my own time across work and other bits and pieces has got to be one huge advantage of uni life. I'm so grateful! Reason no. 67 :)

Absolutely love this version of 'How Great is Our God'! To see the nations coming together and united under the One God is exciting! Plus, I love languages! The lyrics of the song are so good too! These couple of lines are great: 'He wraps Himself in Light and darkness tries to hide, And trembles at His voice...' The power of God goes beyond understanding. The fact that darkness submits to Him and cannot hide is such an incredible joy! That means that fear, sin and shame crumble down when met with the King! Reason no. 66 :)

Testimonies are soooo powerful! Yesterday, I heard a few incredible stories of what God did in someone's life and in their street. To see situations completely transformed - points to God again and again and again! From salvation, to healing, to seeing peace come in all as a result of love - it's amazing! And by the sounds of the story only God was the solution. The story I heard was huge, but ultimately the power of whatever testimony is exciting! If it points to God and demonstrates something of His goodness, His love or His grace, then surely we should get excited and praise God! Reason no. 65 :)

This morning was great! I had a 3 hour session of audiology, but it was so helpful and actually kinda fun!! To be able to practice some of the hearing tests we'd learnt about and see how they worked in real life was really beneficial. The 4th year audiologists talked us through it all and were able to answer loads of questions. Having nearly forgot all about the session and thinking it was on an entirely different day - I'm so grateful I remembered and checked in time! Reason no. 64 :)

Under 2 weeks until I head home for Christmas! Yippeeeeeee :) It's been a while, but I can't wait to go back and see my family and catch up with some friends. 1 semester is nearly out the way and looking back it's been a very very good start to the 4 years! The one thing I doubted the most was whether I was on the right course and now I've started it - I'm enjoying it! Reason no. 63 :)

I think this might actually be the first poem I've written since being in Manchester! Reason no. 62 :)

 



Seasons come and seasons go,

But You never change.

The same God of all my yesterdays,

You remain the same today.

Your faithfulness and love,

cover over all my circumstances.

The struggles and frustrations,

they're completely known to You.

You care about the details,

You're the One who will break in.

My soul will choose today,

to praise You for who you are.

Regardless of what surrounds me,

who You are has not changed.

You are the firm foundation,

The One who's never shaken.

You are the faithful Father,

The One who never fails.

You are the Sovereign God,

nothing escapes your attention.

Let my heart choose today -

You the King of Kings.
