Prayers please

I write to ask for prayers for us for Thursday.
We have a interview with housing association as we have been nominated along with three other families for a bungalow and I am feeling rather sick with nerves whether it be antispation, the not knowing and excitement all mixed up.
I have prayed and asked to door to be opened or shut on this matter in some sort of clear way , but the Lord knows all things and knows what is best for us but I still feel quite emotional about it all.
I ask for prayers that we may know what is to be soon , as the month of December is a busy one already.
The Lord has blessed us so much already and I am so thankful.

Wheelchair assesment

Today we went down to local independent living site , for me to be assessed if I needed a wheelchair. The whole process took about an hour , I even had a test drive in one.
The wheelchair is made to fit as perfect as possible. All being pocessed now and should be with us within 3 months. I am so thankful to the Lord guiding me in the right direction.
Also I bumped into the housing allocator and she said we just dont have the points to be rehomed, she advised me to get ot , Dr and neurologist writings letters to help my case.
I know had the bit between teeth and phoned the housing option team (they allocate points etc).
I spoke to a friendly person who said I was just reading your notes how spooky (thankyou Lord). She says we should be an urgent case and have more points and is doing a home visit on tuesday and talk to me one to one,
I do ask for prayers for this matter as moving or even just been offered a property that wheelchair friendly is always a hard thing to do, but we have had so much blessing recently I am so Thankful to the Lord. In his hands I leave this matter and trust in Him completely.

A few more Christmas cards I made




Few new designs.

Yikes....

Well today has been a strange one. I have not been sleeping too well recently and rather than disturbing hubby I went into lounge on the recliner (which was given to us by the Senior Mr and Mrs Baptists and I am truly thankful).

Well I hardly slept a wink last night so got out of bed at 4am by 5am I was ironing , by 6 am I had completed it , by 7.30 am I had walked dog , then by 9am whole flat had been dusted and vaccumed!! Now totally exhausted but I do have a clean flat lol.

To top it all I have had a cold and my voice has nearly gone , husband will like that I cannot nag him ....

Yes I know I shouldn't over do it but when you have the energy best use it wisely..


On a serious note I ask for prayers for a girl who has learning difficulties , she was Fostered by a dear friend of mine , but when she turned 18 seems she can do what she wants even though she has a mental of about 10/11. I feel social services have really let her down and encouraged her to live on her own and found her a flat etc etc , without going into any more details she is in a terrible situation . Pray for her to come home , and sort things out.


I have made all my christmas cards and even have two orders of 25 , which shall keep me busy.

Here is a 60 th card I made recently for somone.
