Food is definitely a reason... all the different tastes and flavors and the accomplishment in baking/cooking something nice!!! Reason no. 235 :)

I've never seen the Passion of Christ, but stumbled across the song: Because You Loved Me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46JlGITwe80

I love the lyrics:

'You were my strength when I was weak,

You were my voice when I couldn't speak,

 You were my eyes when I couldn't see.

...

Because You loved me.'

Thank you God that today You will equip me in my lack. As I struggle to find the words, when I find conversations hard, You will be my side and will help get me through. As I struggle through all the revision, lectures the tutorials this week - You will give me strength and grace to see it through. As I struggle to manage my time effectively, You will give me strategy to get everything that needs to be done done. Thank you God! Reason no. 234 :)

This morning I was reminded about this kids song! It's fun, puts a smile on my face and the little memories that accompany it make me laugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5qn3Hz8aqU . Reason no. 233 :)

On Friday, I went to see: 'God's Not Dead' at the cinema. I'm so pleased I was able to see it and that it was actually showing in Manchester. The story was interesting and I definitely came away thing about the following things:

1) God's not dead! He's alive today.

2) 'God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good!' (A little phrase said throughout.)

3) God wants us to take hold of the opportunities He puts before us and He'll equip us!

4) Following Him is not always easy - it can lead to sacrifice, for example in the film it was various relationships.

5) God's timing is perfect!

I've just had a lovely hour or so preparing a few little 'treasures' to be hidden around where I live. Over Easter a friend did something similar in her town and I thought it was amazing: http://www.rachhopeful.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/the-hope-egg-hunt.html#comment-form ! So, 3 little chocolates and a mini note are now going to be hidden! What fun!!! :) God is fun, creative and good yet again! Reason no. 231 :)

The joy of living in a city - movies that don't make it into every cinema in the UK stand a greater chance of reaching one near by! Today I'm off to see: God's Not Dead. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMjo5f9eiX8. Once again it's exciting to see Christians moving in the film industry and carrying God presence into that setting. Reason no. 230 :)

I love watching cardboard testimonies of what God has done in people's lives - God's so good! A friend posted this link on facebook - it's from the church I grew up in as a kid. http://www.kingshastings.org/news/item/206 There's so many stories of God transforming lives. Reason no. 229 :)
