Blog of dreams

I am very excited about my new blog of dreams.

Or at least. I will be excited, jumping off the walls, laughing hysterically and feeling very loved when I discover that my blog has been (lovingly) hacked and redesigned for me.

Perhaps this will inspire me to blog more often...

Much love from the anonymous hacker,

**EDIT** I am indeed very excited. And can't imagine who my anonymous hacker is ;) But much love just the same

Guidance

You'd think, with me being an English graduate, this would have occurred to me before, but as someone a little older and a LOT wiser than my humble(ish) self pointed out this evening, you can only guide something that is already moving.

You're here to be fed, not to get eaten...

Another classic from Ms Thomas there. But with a serious point...too many of us do too much to just sit and be. We're too busy giving to stop and take. I realised this recently when I realised how much I'd enjoyed just sitting and being in a service and found the truth behind Andy's words so long ago "if you haven't got it, you can't give it away"

Or, as my new favourite song says,

I will say of the Lord He is my refuge
I will say of the Lord He is my strength
I will say of the Lord He is my shelter, my hiding place
I will come to the source all creation
I will drink from the well that never dries
I will draw from the one who won’t grow tired
The Lord of all

We can't do it in our own strength, but God has promised that we can do it in His

Forgiveness

Its all well and good asking for forgiveness, but how often do we accept it once we have it?

Thought of the day...

Missing someone isn't about how long its been since you've seen them, or the amount of time since you've talked...its about that very moment when you're doing something and you wish they were right there with you

The Woodpecker might have to go...

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark:

One Don't miss the boat.

Two Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

Four Stay fit When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

Five Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

Six Build your future on high ground.

Seven For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Eight Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

Nine When you're stressed, float a while.

Ten Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Eleven No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...
