My dear nephew ..

I havent blogged in a long while as my time and energy have been focused on the flat.

I wanted to share and ask for prayer for my dear nephew. He is so unwell and is in hospital.
He is on a drip to help keep the fluids up and my sister is at his side 24/7.
His body weight has been falling and keeping food down proving very difficult.
All sorts of tests are being done I will update you when I know more.
He is only eight months and so fragile.

Please pray for him and his family.

C is for...

No Average Girl is issuing alphabet letters and she gave me a C. The instructions are to write ten words beginning with the letter you’ve been given. Include an explanation of what each word means to you and why.

So here goes.

C is for Church. Not the building but the people. Oh how I look forward to every Lords day to be surrounded by them, and mid week meetings to discuss and grow with one another.

C is for Card making. It is a hobby of mine that keeps me sane ,and maybe I will make money on it one day, but at moment flat is upside down due to kitchen and bathroom being ripped out, sighs ,It will all come together in the end.

C is for children. How much pleasure they can bring aswell as being a test at times(patience). Also I am a child of God , what a priveledge..

C is for Car. How blessed I am with the car we have. It is a mobilty car and insurance , tax and upkeep are all payed for , we only put the petrol in.

C is for conscience. Constantly being pricked and reminded on how sinful this world is and what we truly are.

C is for the wonderful countryside around me.I live in the heart of some of the most beautiful countryside in England. We are as a family going to start walking regulary and taking in what God created and get fit at the same time.

C is for chatting. Once I start I have trouble stopping (blushes)

C is for Christian. When I became a Christian my life turned round. I am not ashamed of beong one and sharing the good news to as many people as I can.

C is for confidence. This has hit an all time low recently ,but slowly It is improving.

C is for Clare. My name .

Well I had a go lol..
