JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT.....

we say that God see's the bigger picture... i had a picture today ...
our lives are like single pieces of a jigsaw, God alone has the box lid and knows how all these pieces fit together, which oneswork together and which dont some pieces were meant to fit , some meant to work with others , some meant to be corner pieces others to fit into the middle or up front...
whatever piece you are the jigsaw would be incomplete without you!!!!!!!!!!!!

you have your part to play....
be blessed! lynn x

ello!, hows things?
well an eventful weekthis week off work but dont know whats easier work or keeping these occupied for 13 hours a day!!!!!!!

kids club was great!! thanks karen and greg!!!!!!!! and everyone else!!!!!!!!!!!:)

but what to do next week??

reading a good book at the moment called: 'if you want to walk on water youve got to get out of the boat!' by john ortberg... very good challenges how faith filled we are and focuses our attention back on Jesus who is more than able to do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!

really getting into facebook atm when i can login! its great lots of good groups to join have been in touch with a 24/7 prayer community in liverpool so am gonna visit in couple weeks... exciting!

preparing for milly's birthday too her party is next saturday will be an adventure! had to be Dor the explorer everything or so i was told!!! cant wait to see her face.

Our God is an awesome God!

or should that be our God is THE awesome God??!! He truly is amazing and incredible and sooooo awesome!!! why dont you know him???????

or maybe you do and you are in agreement too, He is incredible, sovereign God who created the universe who commands the sea's and the winds, who placed each star in its place , who gave the sun its warmth and the moon its cool glow He almighty God sings over us did You know that???

He calls us by name, He knows how many hairs are on our heads, He is interested in us, He knows when we sit and when we stand, when we sleep and when we wake and He takes the time to plan for us, to allow us air to breathe even and who are we that we deserve such attention in his grand scheme of things??
He calls us his children ...

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

school's out!

woo hoo! schools out for summer... ahhh but tbh will miss the kids! very sad yesterday as some left , some moved to a different teacher and i am moving to a different part of school so that was sad for me too.

lots of lovely pressies tho!!! wine, choccies, smellies, mugs even cakes!!! so kind!

well what to do now for 6 weeks hopefully i will get some break!! with my 2 who knows just hope their dad has them for a while!

well happy summer! enjoy and lets hope the sun shines on us all at least a little.... God bless xx

i can do all things through christ who gives me strength!!!!

yes i did it ! met the other half and with Gods help managed to not go to pieces!
thank you Lord for your peace your presence and your wisdom!!!!

there is a saying amongst us :'hate the sin but love the sinner' and i have to say ... although it pains me... lovely bloke!, can never agree with the situation but they know that and hopefully so too will my kids but yes a nice bloke and i think we may even get on quite well, for the kids sake.

so there you go just aa quick update sure you will hear from me again very soon
have a good week where ever you may be and remember Jesus loves you!! xxx

i must apologise!!!!!!!

so sorry for ranting on yesterday! am ok feeling much better things always seem clearer after a good sleep, it had just been a really tough week and i was shattered.

so its saturday again, treated myself today to some new clothes and dyed my hair so feeling good at the moment.

meeting kris' other half tomorrow that'll be wierd but hopefully God will strengthen me and i will get through it ok.

hope you are ok, thanks foz for your comment.... :) we must do coffee soon!

have to say saturdays without dr who.... bad! boring! bring it back!!

" come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest" mathew11v28.

goodness me the kids are being so difficult at the moment and that alongside everything else is such hard work! the summer holidays are fast approaching which on the one hand is great! 6 weeks off work.... on the other hand what am i going to do for 6 weeks to keep these 2 occupied and stop me from going insane.... with no money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
answers on a postcard :)

its milly's birthday on the 6th cant believe she is 3 already i dont feel like i have really appreciated her this year with the split and everything going on its so sad, and there in lies another akward situation who to invite to her party?? her father or the rest of her family and friends.... why is it always me stuck inthe middle??? i never asked for ANY of this!! :(

Thank God that He knows the best way - all i can do is rely on him and wait for direction.

he came round today, wanting to sort thru the photo's he can be so insensitive sometimes i havent been able to even look at them yet and he strolls in and sorts through them dismissing all the wedding photos... i just felt like crying but what can you do when the kids are there? and isaac keeps asking why dont you and mummy like each other any more when will you hug again?? its heart breaking!!!!

God help me!!!! cos well its just too much sometimes and well its a cert that if i didnt have God in my life i would not have got thru this past 12 months!!

just trusting him now for a better future cos i know he wont leave me.. jeremiah 29 v 11 says" for i know he plans i have for you says the lord" praise God for his awesome planning and for the fact that he knows!! the best plans and the right plans and all i have to do is trust him.

you are the voice of hope

there is a song by that title written by and sung by Lara Martin of abundant life church bradford it talks of how God is the anchor of our souls, and when there seems to be no other way God makes things possible. amazing song!!!

after watching the news today, reading the papers and witnessing first hand things going on in society I can but sing praises to God because he is the hope of this world .... when are we going to realise that? there is only he that can do it everybody else has tried and failed... we have gone our own way for too long we need to get back to God!!!!

He so longs to help so longs to come and sort out this world but do we let him???

we need to pray and praise we need to welcome the king of kings and the lord of lords to have his way amongst his people!!! He will not force himself upon us but without him we are nothing! we need to open the door HE IS KNOCKING!!

so its saturday night theres nothing on tv and i am bored !!
its actually a day of prayer in america today 07.07.07 'the call'

praying for the nations that they will turn back to God in these last days...
the bible talks of the things that will lead up to the end times, we are living them now!!!
so exciting to see - yet also so scary... when we think about the urgency of the hour we are living in
and whether or not our families, friends etc will be ready too.
i pray that we will be ready and that God will return to a bride that is prepared, but is there anymore we can be doing??

watching the things going on in jerusalem is exciting ( despite the obvious hardship and war) things are being prepared the golden gate etc...and so many things are written in the bible.... all those years ago when the bible was written God included these things in is word for us to see and know his return was immonent, he has given us warning to get ready i pray we will take heed and get ready!

people get ready Jesus is coming is a song inspired by the holy spirit sung at the IHOP church in kansas and yet is so relevant for us today more info at; www.ihop.com

i pray even if you think i am mad that you will read some of the bible and check it out for yourself! so that you too can be ready valuable books would be: isaiah, daniel, and revelation.

God Bless xxx

Wow this week must be one of the hardest i have faced in a long time!!!

things seem to be flying at me from everywhere!!

work, home and even friends ... but one thing remains firm.... God is there and He is sticking closer than a brother and carrying me through and so glad he is... so many times of late i have wanted to just give up- get under the duvet and never come out( , if i am honest, )but God gives me the strength to get up each morning and face the day and brings me through the other side!

And then he sends the light at the end of the tunnel and things i have been praying for pop up when i am least expecting them...amazing God!:)

you know there is a saying 'these things are sent to try'... well these things are certainly sent to strengthen!! and build faith, and to teach us and build our wisdom!

i am learning not to resent the bad days but to ask what are you teaching me God , what can i learn throught this, how can me going through this help somebody else????

there is a reason... it may not be clear to us but He alone see's the bigger picture, He alone is the fountain of all knowledge!!

who are we to even attempt to fathom it all out?
our tiny, punny brains are no match for the awesome God who creates heaven and earth so i guess what i am saying is.... it comes down to trust! and trusting him in the hard times to know he knows best and see's the end result even before we reach the end.

take the world but give me Jesus ....
yes thats right ........ but the bible does say Jesus is the way , the truth and the life so that'll do for me!!!!!!!!
sounds like a recipe for a grt life and lets face it who else can you honestly, totally trust?
so isnt it worth giving Jesus a try???
what else can be as valuable, as precious as a relationship with the author , creator and finisher of our lives? He who knows all things and has the answers to all of life's questions? if you find anything ... let me know .... but i bet you dont!!!

ever done a jigsaw only to find the last piece is missing?

its soooo frustrating isnt it ??!!

so what do you do ...put the jigsaw back in the cupboard to try again another day?
let others get on with it and let them find out for themselves? only for them to be frustrated too?

or do you just simply throw away the jigsaw.... ever thought about looking for the missing piece?

oh you might have to really search!
those pieces get everywhere once i found a piece in my hand bag weeks after loosing it...how? i dont know but there it was!

life can feel frustrating at times, like there is a piece missing... there is!
have you searched for it?

you see i have and i have found it, and am so glad i didnt just throw away the rest of the puzzle, thats why i am telling others and then hopefully i can relieve their frustration too...

shall i tell you then...........................................?



Jesus, yes JESUS! He IS the missing piece of your life and trust me you will never feel complete without Him!

and where can you find him?

in the quiet still place of a prayer. Reach out and he will meet you!

God bless lynn xxxx
