I'm grateful for not having a really busy timetable and a huge work load at the moment. It means I can get involved and do things I would not normally be able to do, but also be able to have time to relax. Reason no. 147 :)

Such a good weekend - went over to Trafford and played crazy golf for a friend's birthday, made some lovely crumpet pizzas and church was great. I love it went God speaks! Reason no. 146 :)

This morning was so encouraging. Today I had a workshop which involved chatting to people with aphasia (which can be caused by a stroke and results in difficulty in processing language). From having been a bit unprepared and having no idea with what to expect I came away smiling and had a lovely conversation. It was a great experience and definitely what I needed at this stage of the course :) Reason no. 145 :)

I had such a lovely evening yesterday with a few friends who came over for a meal. They also brought along and cooked some Chinese dumplings for me and another friend to try...they tasted gooood :)  Then we had lasagne, garlic bread and salad too...followed by an ice-cream-cake-sundae-like-thing! It was such a nice way to end the week ( - I've got another 3 day weekend) :) We also played one of my favorite games: 'Sequence'. One fantastic evening: reason no. 144 :)

Thank you God that you care about the big things and the little things. The details of life do not escape your attention. Reason no. 143 :)

Thank you God for this city, it's bigness and it's diversity, the place where you have positioned me!

Thank you God that You do not lie, You always keep Your promises and in You we have the victory.

This morning I woke up feeling like I was going to make a rubbish speech and language therapist, but this is what God reminded me:

1) This is what God has called me into. He's opened up the doors to get me this far.

2) Remember all that God has already done, not what He hasn't - it's an overflow of His grace! God will provide exactly what I need for each step.

3) I'm still learning!

4) God's love for me is not based on my course or my future job.

5) God is already proud of me.
