new year

Here are my scribblings:

Repeated experiences can catch your attention - 3 times the car has been vandalised in the last few weeks...What is going on?  Got me thinking...which got me thinking...and perhaps I went off on a tangent but there you go

Where do I belong?....  Actually its a better question to say to whom do I belong and the answer to that is I belong to the Lord.  I guess it made me think about whether I trust that relationship....I need more revelation....I want to know the love that the bible speaks of and live in the confidence of His redeeming grace on my life in everything I do.

Stop running....  Allow yourself to know and be known when things are bad.  Take the risk of rejection.  True love is when you love someone inspite of their failings.  This is how God loves us - in full knowledge of our mistakes.

As Michael Ramsden put it:

God loves you because he knows who you are. He is not deluded.
So…
I don’t have to pretend to be what I’m not, with God. He already knows! It’s not helpful for God for me to be transparent with him. It’s good for me.
It also gives me transparency with others. I know I have been forgiven –because he forgave me.

So, today I belong and will share myself honestly with others....never much liked running anyway

october excitement

aside from the beautiful changing leaves on the trees that have not yet turned to mulch as we havent yet seen much rain, october has been exciting so far, and I'm sure will continue to be. (boy that was a long sentence!)

there is such hope... the seasons are changing... spring will come....

been looking over some notes that my beautiful friend SallyAnn wrote at a gathering I was at that she facilitated... it excites me, and made me cry this morning....

This is from October 2006, after the floods had caused havoc in England in the summer

"It's like in Ezra 3v12-13 when the new temple was built and the mixture of weeping and joy could be heard from far away. Isaiah 54 has been another prophetic theme as the floods of this year all across our land speak of labour beginning:
'Sing O barren woman that didn't bear, you sing now. O you sing! You sing in your barrenness and see the release of the children. This is the time of release of anointing to carry burdens, carry burdens, lining up with the cross, leaving behind the weights, running after Jesus. But sing on the way, sing, barren land, sing. Sing barren land, rejoice in your maker, sing and enlarge your tents, the first fruits are here, the birth pangs are coming, so sing and believe as you move on'.
Sally Ann, prophetic song from WPC Trumpet Call conference, March 07: thanks to Pauline for transcript

We can rejoice in faith because it is the barren woman who qualifies to receive the promise. Like Sarah, Rebecca, Hannah, Elizabeth, the power of God is shown in barrenness. Only His power can produce a child, born not of flesh or the will of man, but of God. In Isa 61v3-4 it's the mourners that Jesus anoints with oil of gladness, beauty and praise, who become oaks of righteousness and then rebuild ruins and restore desolate places. So as we humble ourselves and lament our state there is hope in His mercy. Yes, we are a barren nation but what are His promises? Smith Wigglesworth, Jean Darnell, many prophetic words call us to our destiny; called to "father" nations, yet with a spirit of fatherlessness. An enemy has done this! But the Redeemer of the fatherless is mighty and will plead our case (Prov. 23 v18-19) and this is our hope."

I am excited as I have been one who weeps (my middle name is Anne, from Hannah).  If you know me, then you know my walk.. and it's not been easy.

But, over the last 50 days, my life has changed, completely.
Feel free-er, lighter and not depressed.
And more passionate about seeing this city transformed
And most importantly, as He is the author and perfector of my faith, the One who heals me,
I am more in love with Jesus

C'Mon!!

Ps. found a feather in my room!

Superstring theory

This makes sense.

I believe there is so much more to life than most of us currently experience.

update

Now its September 2009.

Now living with Han&Ayd in North Manchester, and loving this part of my life.
Now a proper doctor after 6 years of study.  Training now to be a GP.  Am in my second year of that, and fourth year post graduation.

My mum has moved to France with her husband and they are keeping themselves out of mischief....maybe.
My dad is remarried and we are now on much better terms - PTL!!

Still at Ivy, although havent attended for ages.
having dreams more regularly.
Also things seem to be lining up better - time to stop giving to one thing and start giving to another, time now available to start piano lessons, time to connect with old friends and make new ones.

Terry Pratchett put it well when he said 'Interesting Times'

Here is April

Dear All,
long time no postie. that is, its a long time since I blogged. And yes, it also a long time since I had any post. I think that is to do with the fact that i keep moving house/room. i'm now in Trafford, but will be moving again in a few weeks. Its tough. I feel quite unsettled. I also feel like crying: I've just used Matt P's blog to catch up on how everyone is doing (the ex hard to define group- only ex coz its now 'our journey', but hey you catch my drift) and i feel so out of touch. i havent seen anyone for ages. i miss being round. Finals suck. i don't like revising and I miss my friends. I'd love to get a camera and upload photos and work out how to make this thing a bit more friendly to look at and easier for me to add to. Not so technically minded.  Ta Vx
