A Few Revelations...

It's been weird being at home, revision has been amazingly difficult and procrastination is my favourite hobby. Whilst I've been back, I've gone through a reminiscing time, thinking over all the decisions I made and looking over past situations.

Throughout every blunder, every foolish mistake and indeed throughout all the fantastic memories and the good times there is one thing that is common with all of them, one thing that has been there in each of those things and that is God. God has a plan, He has plans for us, plans for good not for harm. He is a God that cares about us, and though it may not seem like it at the time, it is all in His plan. Looking back on some mistakes I made I see clearly now how God used those bad experiences for the better. It's amazing how he completely turned those mistakes around and now I am a changed person and (I hope) for the better.

He brought me out of dark places and set me back on the right path (excuse however cheesy that sounds) He really is a saviour! It is amazing how in a desperate place He is there and that when bad situations come in the long run He has a plan, meaning you can look back and see the fruit of it.

One of the joys of being home and indeed one of the reasons I came home was to go on a walk to my favourite place. That sounds really twee I know, but it's a place that is filled with beauty and God's creativity never ceases to amaze me as I walk through it. Whilst sitting on a log (yes I am a hippie) I was astounded at God's beauty in all creation and I was amazed at the intricate detail of each plant and to think heaven is infinitely more beautiful...can't wait!

Whilst sitting reading about David and Goliath it hit me...We all go through Goliath sized problems, but just like David we can defeat them because we've got God on our side. When we come up against fear and temptations we can defeat them with God as the stone from our sling shot (as it were). God continues to astound me and I love it! He is a faithful God who answers big prayers and answers little prayers!

I guess it's repetitive, but whatever...God is amazing and He is worthy of praise!
