At the weekend I went to see Hacksaw Ridge, which has an incredible story. There's a scene in the film, which just shows God's incredible faithfulness and how He is the source of strength too. The main character knows there are many wounded soldiers on the battleground, the rest of his battalion have left the area, but he stays put. He goes into the war zone to rescue these people unarmed, not knowing whether the enemy is close or not. As he rescues each person he turns to God and asks Him to help get him one more. He knows he can't do it in his own strength, but that he certainly can with God. He knows God to be His Equipper, Sustainer and Strength. At the end of the film it says he rescued 75 men that time.

This is a wonderful story of God's kindness and generosity...Last week I was sat in the library and working on my dissertation and texted David how nice it would be to go on a date. That same day David gets given £40 and told to take me out for a meal! The money also paid for a cinema trip too! He really is the God of the detail and not just wanting to meet what we need, He goes beyond! Reason no. 1039 :)

I am thankful for people who are so gently remind me to stand on His promises. When I feel like I am failing my degree and I am way out of my depth, I take hold of God's prophetic word about the degree and can stand confidently that I am where God wants me to be. Reason no. 1038 :)

It has been a while, but there's a lot of reasons waiting to be written. It's been a time of stress and fear, but I am thankful for the people that God has put around me who have kept praying for breakthrough when I struggled to lift my eyes above the circumstances. He is a good Father. Reason no. 1037 :)

You are my wonderful shepherd,
the One who guides and the One who leads.
You are with me in the depths of the valleys
and You are with me on the mountaintops.
You take me by the hand and hold me close,
You speak truth into my two ears -
reminding me of the promises spoken.
I can stand as a child of the living God,
I am free - fear and sin are broken off.
You are my refuge and my strength,
the One who protects and defends me.
You are with me on the battlefield,
You are with me in every situation everyday.
In You I am more than a conqueror,
I am a champion who stands in Your victory.
Each day I choose to put on what You have provided me:
the sword of the spirit, the helmet of salvation,
the belt of truth and the shield of faith.
You are my hope, my song and my joy,
the One who is the wellspring of life and peace.
Your Spirit is living in me,
You are with me in every breath that I take.
In You, a life of excitement and adventure awaits.
Your goodness and love will follow me all of my days.
How amazing it is to be loved by You:
You are the perfect Father, the faithful friend,
the One who never gives up on me.
