blessed.

So today I had one of those days where I started freaking out about everything... actually, mostly, how I'm going to fund my life!
But then I saw this on my sister's blog, and simultaneously remembered what Jesus said (Matthew 6: 25-34) about not worrying. God always provides, always does and always will. And it's really only because I freak out when I have less than £500 in my bank.
That's just stupid. I am incredibly blessed in everything!!

First proper day at uni and Wednesday with the kids - shattering. Tomorrow will be better.

I haven't had time to post about the weekend yet - will do that soon - but I wanted to quickly share something Betsy and I discussed the other night our time here in France...
We have both been so blessed by the people that have come into our life and these people, we feel would have not been there had we not been so reliant upon God trusting in Him to provide for us. When we first arrived, we knew no-one, and we spent a lot of time alone with God. He blessed us in countless ways and brought us friendships and a great church amongst so many other things. When you rely on people, they will always let you down. But we have found that through relying on God, knowing he alone is enough, he brings amazing people into our lives with whom we can share God's love and joy and have fun!  :)

"Rejoice in the Lord, always. I will say it again: rejoice!" 

(Philippians 4:4)
