I love poetry...words are so powerful. Here's one by Martin Luther:

Feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
My warrant is the Word of God–
Naught else is worth believing.

Though all my heart should feel condemned
For want of some sweet token,
There is One greater than my heart
Whose Word cannot be broken.

I’ll trust in God’s unchanging Word
Till soul and body sever,
For, though all things shall pass away,
HIS WORD SHALL STAND FOREVER!

I really like the road we live down. We have a really nice bunch of people around us. Last weekend we had some of them over and enjoyed Christmas nibbles whilst getting to know them a bit better. I'm pleased to be staying in the same place next year and that some of them will be staying too. Reason no. 430 :)

Yesterday was my last day in uni for the semester. As a course we all wore our Christmas jumpers and raised some money for the Huntington's Disease Association. The lecturer joined in too and brought in some mince pies for us all too. It was such a lovely way to end the semester. Reason no. 429 :)

The carol concert was amazing yesterday! It was joint with the Royal Collage of Northern Music and they were soooooo talented :) They had an amazing orchestra and choir. I've never been to a performance like it before! Reason no. 428 :)

This week I've been reading stories of people getting saved at the Christian Union's, in the UK, in their Christmas Carol Services. Tomorrow night, the Christian Unions around Manchester are joining together and putting on a Carol Concert, followed by a talk. If God can do it in universities around the UK, then He can definitely do it in Manchester too! Reason no. 427 :)

On Sunday, I heard story after story of God's goodness, of God breaking in and answering prayer. It's definitely what I needed to hear. Testimony definitely stirs faith and brings a reminder of just who God is and what He's about! The fact that He cares about the things in our lives, however big or small is amazing.

This weekend I'm heading home for Christmas! It's been 3 months since I've last been home. Can't wait to have a break (of sorts - I've still got study to do!) but just have a proper rest and spend time with my family! Reason no. 425 :)
