Another day off :)

I'm using some leave up at the moment, I'd saved some in case I needed time in Trowbridge, and then realised that the end of March was fast approaching and if I didn't use my leave I'd lose it! we can carry a week over but I had more. The end result is 4 weeks of having a day off per week - and I like it!

I don't have any major plans for today - pottering, shopping with Sarah maybe, writing a bit of an assignment................... and that's one of the lovely things - an unbusy day :)

Sarah is better, tired but better - its such a relief for her and us.

Paul's folk continue their ups and downs.

I feel that God has really been speaking to me about recognising who is whispering in my ear - I can't remember if I've blogged about this before but I'll risk repeating myself. That quiet voice is either our own thoughts, or from God, or from the Devil. Now the Devil is particularly insidious. He speaks many, many untruths into our lives - I'm ugly, unworthy, and there's some really scary stuff either happening or about to happen and I need to fret and worry and try and sort it all out. These are LIES! Apart from anything else worry does not come from God - He does not promise us an easy life but He does promise to be with us always and He promises not to let more happen to us than we can bear. When Sarah was ill I was worrying (its my human nature). Paul and I were praying and Paul prayed something about knowing that God was worrying with us (what he meant was that God was with us in the middle of it all) but I heard in capital letters (if you know what I mean) God does not worry. So my worries were not from God - so I needed to stop. Now it's not that simple, but I am turning to God whenever I worry, and handing it over, and working hard at obedience. I read something about our obedience to God releases His Godly interference - it struck a cord.

So enough deep and meaningful - off to potter :)
