You say goodbye, I say hello!

Hello!

Well I'm nearly at the end of my lent break from Facebook and so much has happened!

The most significant thing is that my work with Splosh at St Johns Bowling in Bradford has now come to an end. I had a fantastic leaving party and the winner for most amazingly disciplined child goes to Elijah who has given up sweet things for Lent and said no to almost everything offered at the party! The theme of the party was "Carol's Big Adventure" and we had a pass the parcel which started a treasure hunt and ended with mini cupcakes and balloons that stuck to the wall! I was also presented with an amazing plaque which I will treasure forever. And so an era ends.

But something new can now begin. Three years ago I started Raise childrens project and now is the time to see whether it will really fly! I don't want this to be a business pitch, you can join me @raisechildrens if you want to see more (and I would love that) but the main thing now is to get the balance of faith and business working together. Now I am not based at the church I am facing daily decisions about how and when I share my faith.

So the question is how do I do that?

Answers on a business card please.......

Choose life.

I am finally admitting that I'm finding life hard. My mum has died. My fish has died. And a bit of my drive and motivation has died too. But I'm finding life in other things. My family immediate and extended, my friends and my creativity. I have found that through opening up I have become vulnerable and full of pain, so much so that tiny little things are painful. But through my opening up others have too, and that is soothing and healing. Everyone has different views on mental health and dealing with it. This is mine right now.  My favourite things  Raindrops on roses and sunshine for running Sleep with no wake ups so I don't feel done in Thoughts of free time once the microwave pings These are a few of a my favourite things  Hair with no sick in (and clothes for that matter) Facebook debacles and  3am  natters Strictly, X Factor and creative springs These are a few of my favourite things When I'm lonely When I'm anxious When I'

The house that ?? built.

I'm having an extension! My husband isn't, just me. Right now I think the occupant is adding furnishings and making everything cosy. Confused? Well it may help to know that  it's nothing to do with our actual house at all- we're having our first baby! When I had my first twinge/cramp early on having discovered I was expecting at about six weeks , I was really scared that I was going to lose the baby. When you feel those pains panic sets in and suddenly you start to question everything- it's an unsettling time. But God showed me that  I must have belief and in that word are the words BE LIFE- a promise that has and will stick with me throughout this. He also showed me that those pains are like having building work done and it's all part of the journey.  So here is the building plan so far.... The first thing to happen at about eight weeks was the bedroom was created (and sometimes it felt like they were trying to fit a wide screen TV in as well!). It

A duck in a dartboard.

Many years ago I went on a TFG (Twyford Fellowship Group) weekend. This is no big deal, I went on loads but on this partciular one we were experimenting with prophecy. I seem to remember we had alot of pictures of sausages and other amusing sources of prophecy (which all amazingly meant something to someone) but I had a picture of a duck in a dartboard. Stay with me :0) The thing about throwing a duck in a dartboard is it isn't really very effective. Obviously I haven't ever tried but I can imagine that there would be quite alot of resistant from said bird and the pub owners (or wherever your dartboard is located) may be resistant to you bringing birds into their establishment in the first place, but the main point is a duck isn't fit for purpose (had to get the middle management speak in there somewhere). In order to score a bullseye you need a dart. I had an amazing but sobering picture this morning -possibly 20 years on from that prophecy but least said about that
