Autumn 2011

Hello! I want to start this post by saying thank you to all the people who have been reading my blogs! There are over 600 views recorded! Wow!

We are coming up to the end of October and Chris has still not managed to find work. He has phoned lots of people and sent CV's but no one has invited him for an interview. The work that is around, here in Nottingham is very thin on the ground. We are still expected to live on too little money. This has not stopped us from smiling and laughing and trusting and praising God.

Last weekend we went to to see Georgina and family. They kindly paid for our tickets to travel there. We had a great weekend! Georgina gave us good food and we were blessed. I was surprised to see how much Christopher had grown in just a few months! He is now taller than me and growing up fast! Christopher is 13 years and 5 months old.

I last saw Emma in August and miss her loads! David put a recent photo of her on Facebook and she looks like she is getting tall too! Emma is 16 months old! I miss my children!

We have a great grandchild due in January and I am beginning to get excited about her arrival! Chris's eldest granddaughter will be having her first baby, even though the doctors said it would be unlikely! God is good and in control.

The news on the house is that they still might pull it down! Maybe as soon as next year! We should hear something soon.

Our health is not brilliant and we are both probably struggling a bit, but we are up and about and mobile.

In all of this God is central to everything we do, think and feel. He does have a purpose for our lives. I believe we are all here to see God's purpose and goodness in our lives. We really would not be getting through these hard times without him. I know things will get better and that will happen soon. Praise to God.
