In My Liverpool Home

the weather here in england has been absolutely gourgeous the last couple of weeks. today its raining again but oh well!
so to make the most of the nice weather tim and i went down to our famous liverpool waterfront/docks and i acted all touristy...taking photos, buying sweets and yummy homemade fudge!! it was a lovely evening.
some photos are below.


i have now been at university for a week and a half and i absolutely love it.
its a bit of information overload at the moment but with a bit of extra reading and studying i'll get the hang of it!

so in general i am doing really well at the moment. i finally made it to my church morning service today and it was exactly what i needed. i have found life getting so busy lately that God has been getting pushed out a bit and this morning is really when i realised it. as i dragged myself out of bed this morning i knew that today was for me. God met me where i was at throughout the morning and i am truly thankful!

 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of Glory died;
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.

See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

until next time...

Easter and Uni

well finally i have found a space of time to update and batteries to put in my camera both at the same time so here goes...
easter certainly seems a long time ago now even though it was infact only 1 week ago.
the last 2-3 weeks for me have been a mixture of highs and lows. having had my interview for uni a few weeks ago and finding there werent any places left to then a week later having an offer letter dropping through my door for my first choice...i was in shock when i read that the start date was in 11 days time!!
yes, so i started university on wednesday and am now officially a student nurse!!
God is amazing. this is the exact course, the exact uni and the exact timing that i felt God say when i felt like i was to come back from vancouver.
its going to be hard work but i am really looking forward to it. i'll keep you posted...

it was nice to be home for easter this year especially as it was my mums birthday on easter sunday. i was working a lot of the weekend but easter saturday i was off and went on a beautiful walk that friends from church had organised! we walked 10.5 miles (approx 18km) so my feet were killing by the end but it was fabulous to get out in the sunshine and fresh air and catch up with friends.
below are a few photos i took!
