Hello lovelies
Sorry for the long blog break – me and Mr Norovirus have been shacked up together for the past few days. I’ve tried to end it, but he’s like, insanely jealous.
Thank you so much for your support this year – for reading and commenting and praying and encouraging – and everything. It’s meant a massive amount.

…new days can be scary, let alone new years. I don’t know what mine holds – or what yours does either. But whatever we face, the Lord goes ahead, and He will bring us through.
And I said to the man who stood
at the gate of the year:
‘Give me a light that I may
tread safely into the unknown’.
And he replied:
‘Go out into the darkness and put your hand
into the hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light
and safer than a known way’.
So I went forth and finding the Hand of God
Trod gladly into the night
He led me towards the hills
And the breaking of day in the lone east…
(Minnie Louise Haskins 1876-1957)
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you both. Look forward to seeing you in 2013 :-)
Happy New Year to you both and so sorry to hear about your recent fling with Mr N. He is a big fear of mine so I’m desperately trying to avoid bumping into him… Hope you are feeling better and wishing you a bright, peaceful year ahead.

Thank you, Emma, for opening insights this year that have truly made me stop and think about issues and trials I have never deeply considered before – it’s places like this that really show the necessity of learning to be there for each other. May you and Glen deeply know the beauty of His grace amidst this sharing in the year ahead.
I’ve missed you! Hope you recover completely soon!
Love the poem, such a beautiful picture of God being our light & guide in darkness.
Thanks Emma & Glen. You are both lovely people and we appreciate you & your blogs a great deal. God bless you & keep you safe in His love & care – for “underneath are the everlasting arms”….
Thanks Phil, Wondering Soul, Howard, X and Beth,
2012 was all the better for having you in it. Happy New Year to you all!
