Delete!!

I need space!!!


This revelation came from realising that I no longer have enough space on my iPhone. It tells me that I have loads of unnecessary data on there but not enough space for the data I really want/need to have.


For example right now my song list is in disarray.


The songs I have are old, boring songs or freebies from exciting Christmas deals that somehow you feel you have to have because they're free. I know I have Cheryl Cole taking up the space where Gary Barlow should rightfully be; I know Level 42 should be making way for Niki Minaj. The songs that I used to want to own are now no longer wanted, I now need songs for my profession, and I can't even download a simple backing track!


Suddenly I resent the files that I once took hours dutifully downloading bit by bit on my then brand new and exciting iphone, I want more space.


This got me thinking. This weekend and next week it is the half tern holidays, I have loads of things I need to do but I need space. It made me wonder what things in my life I should be deleting? How much of my mind is being taken up with the things that I once saw as really important? And how much of my mind is being taken up with junk mail meaning that there is no space for the words and ideas that will truly move me forward? What are the things that I resent taking up the space and do they really need to be there?


Have I even got any space for the still, small voice that used to fill every inbox?

It's taking me hours to delete stuff from my iphone. Thank God that once I've connected to Him it takes a matter of minutes.

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'

Be prepared!!

Today we must all have lots to do to prepare for Christmas;  put up the tree, hoover the house, make sure the lights work- which you know they won't, buy new lights, wrap presents, take out your inheritance to buy stamps, phone people you haven't bothered to speak to all year to get their address proving you haven't spoken to them all year,  post cards, and all the other things you know you have to get done.  Then for us this year there's a whole new level of preparations for our new and imminent arrival- find clothes that fit me, buy clothes that fit me, sort out a push chair, find the spare room under all the junk, change the spare room into a nursery- the lists seems endless!  Usually I plot all the reminders into my phone and then watch TV stressing about how to get it all done- instead of getting it all done- but I turned to my bible instead.  Because today is the 1st of December- (apparently not advent til tomorrow) and so a good day for thinking about what

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
