In Christ Alone

I do love Sundays. But sometimes, a little too much clarification can be overwhelming sometimes. And not necessarily in a good way. Don't get me wrong, I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus so much, and I follow their word where I can, but some things I really struggle with. This Sunday for example, I gave my testimony about my favourite hymn! Stuart Townend's In Christ Alone. I got upset for the same reasons I always used to get upset and then Sunday night I started having doubts in myself and my faith. Upon reflection of that, I'm not sure that I approached the matter properly. I should have just prayed and known that these thoughts were not from God... But maybe I needed to have this understanding. Well, if that's not a thought for you then I don't know what is... I literally thought as I wrote down...

In Christ alone my hope is found, he is my refuge, he is my strength, everpresent in times of trouble. 

Also today, a wise old friend gave me this word. 

'Nothing is ever as bad as it seems'

I love old people. Particularly the wise ones. 

Birthday time

I had a surprisingly wonderful birthday. Wonderful. I got some glorious presents and although I was working, had an amazing time. And then we went to the Trafford Centre and got some tapas. And sangria. YUM.
