Tomorrow I go away on holiday. I need God to come with me. Of course I know He will because He is everywhere, but I need to know He is with me. I am hoping He will surprise me again with His presence in some tangible way as He does sometimes. It is usually when I least expect it, or am just praying and talking to Him as usual, or even praying about a problem or question I have and suddenly He seems to open the windows of my spirit and suddenly I can see and understand and know what I need to know.
I have learnt at these times that I have to write down what I discover as otherwise I will forget.

New Beginnings
At last a New Year has budded full of new opportunities, hopes and dreams. And it's time to put some things from last year to rest, and leave them there! I am leaving behind my old home where I lived and brought up my three children for 21 years. I was pregnant with my third child when we bought the house and celebrated her 21st birthday with over a hundred guests just before we left. My two eldest children are now married and so I have moved on with only my youngest daughter. Doesn't life change!
But the new is good and God's grace shines through every day and in so many ways. My new house is only ten minuets walk from the beach! It faces the sun all day long and has a lovely tree-filled outlook from almost every room. It is small - less to clean and it has a wonderful relaxed feel to it. I am already filling it up with prayer. Of course I know God found this house for me. He had already been here preparing it for me. I feel His presence. He knows what He is doing. And this morning as I lay in bed - it's Saturday - I asked Him to open the windows of my spirit and soul to hear and understand His thoughts. Only then can I know His will. And He is speaking! What is He saying to you?

Adventures with God
Welcome to my new blog.I have never done this before so you are in on this new adventure with me! I love new adventures. And life with God just seems to be a continual one.
Almost every day He surprises me with who He is and what He does and how He works within me and within those around me. Sometimes I get frustrated because He doesn't seem to work fast enough - so I think! But then - as I learn to wait He often slowly reveals why. I love it when He does this.
