Chris writes....has been a busier than ever season....Christmas came and went and was fantastic to be at my parents down in Worthing for a week or so before...back here straight after for our New Years Outreach...and mission week for our students...then the end of one programme......evaluations and preparation for the new one......and we are now 4 weeks into the new programme....new and extra responsibilities for me!! Really feels like the train has begun again and now just need to keep it moving.......
We have had many blessings just lately.....words of friendship, money, visitors, new friendships, invites for meals, gifts of food..God always seems to know just what we need and when we need it...Praise God that is a testimony we all share!!
Have been struggling a bit lately with some of my old demons and habits...do I or don't I.....why not give in....why do I have to keep struggling.....must admit I came very close.....Psalm 118 from the Message summed it up for me.....felt like I was: '...right on the cliff edge and ready to fall, when God grabbed and held me....and now He's my salvation' (verses 13 & 14) and a few verses on: 'I didn't die. I lived! and now I am telling the world what God did.....' (17)
and finally verses 28 & 29: 'You're my God and I thank You. Oh my God I lift high Your praise. Thank God - He's so good. His love never quits!'
How are you doing??
