Impossible is Nothing

No I'm not quoting from another inspirational Adidas ad campaign. These words were uttered long before David Beckham pulled on his first pair of predators or the 3 stripe became the instantly recognised brand that it is. Jesus spoke them in response to the question, "Who then can be saved?" He replied with the following, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

Life is not meant to be faced alone. We were not designed to struggle through by ourselves. Did you know that God is interested in your life? That he cares about the every day details? So perhaps next time we face something that seems impossible to us, we should stare it straight in the eye and be sure of what Adidas have kindly reminded us of - All things are possible with God!

Quick Update

A quick update is probably needed for those who haven't seen me for a while. I am still working at VUE Cinema in Camberley. I still plan to become a teacher, so as of next week I will be studying towards a modern languages degree (French and English) with the Open University. This will take pretty much the next 4-6 years and then I'll have to do a years teacher training. So it's a long road ahead but will be worth it in the end.

The main thing that I have been filling my time with over the last 6 months is the constant battle to eat healthily and lose weight. I have definitely been winning this fight as I have lost nearly 4 stone now. If you want me to tell you how I've done it maybe I'll blog some tips and advice sometime.

So that's where I'm at and where I'm heading but I do have a couple of fun projects I am about to start that involve singing and music... But you'll have to wait for another post to hear about those.

I can't sign this post off without saying how faithful God has been over the last few years. I'll leave you with this song. At times I did not know what to do or where to turn but God, well the lyrics communicate what He does in those times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAVHeVDML5k

Coming Soon

Well once again it's been a while since I blogged so I thought I'd give it another go. Well, in fairness to me the gap between posts has not been as long this time round. This one will be short as I am merely stating my intent to blog a lot more often. God has been good to me and I am going to start shouting about it. There are some new things happening in my life and exciting things about to happen. So watch this space if you'd like to read about the glorious randomness that is my life and I will take you on a journey of.... well who knows what may happen!

Prolapsed

If you happen to stumble across the word prolapsed in a dictionary, the definition would read "to fall or slip down or out of place" and that, is certainly what I feel has happened to me over the last few years.

I'm not going to waste space on here explaining how my life has prolapsed over the last few years. I will say it started in 2006 when I prolapsed a disc in my lower back and between now and then, let's just say - it's not been easy.

BUT, I am still here, I am still breathing, and I will do all that God has planned for me. The grace of God has kept me through this valley I have been in and I WILL run again, in every area of my life.
