Recently there has been a lot of horrible stuff happening in an area near where I live. It's been reported that within this semester alone there have been over 30 sexual assaults. Yesterday I saw a petition going round to see the area made more safe. It's great that people are taking action, something definitely needs to change. This morning God reminded me that the area just needs Him. Increasing the police force in the area might make a small difference, but bring Him in and the area will be completely transformed. It's largely a student population there...imagine revival coming and a new generation standing up in the name of Jesus. When God breaks in, salvation comes, alcohol and drug addiction are broken off and the streets are safe. As I stepped out of the house this morning, it was wet and the sky was grey, but as I looked over the field and looked at the area where I'd been praying about a sunset was over it and just over that area alone. I totally believe God was highlighting that area and He has not given up on it. There is hope! Reason no. 424 :)

Today I traveled on a train to Disley and it was definitely the best train ride I've ever been on! They had decorated the carriages with decorations and people were dressed up as elves and Santa. They also gave out free mince pies, chocolate coins and a bottle of water! It was so nice :) Reason no. 422 :)

This week, I had the opportunity to listen to a guy who stammers and a lady with a voice disorder. It was so helpful having them come into uni and share their experiences. Reason no. 421 :)

'Come to me, all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.' 

Matthew 11:28

A promise that is of peace and restoration. In the midst of stress, fear and insecurity I come and drop it at your feet, knowing that you will restore, for You are the God of rest. In my weakness and tiredness, You are strong! Reason no. 420 :)

Yesterday I was reminded that when 2 or 3 gather in Jesus' name, Jesus is there too. That means in my house Jesus is here, when I'm back home, Jesus is there. He has blessed me with putting me around people who love Him! Reason no. 419 :)

Having walked into a room yesterday and not knowing anyone, a lady comes over to me and asks if I want to make a friend and sit with her. That takes boldness and reflects kindness too :) Reason no. 418 :)
