The first of April and as far as I know no one has "fooled" Me.....
We waited quite a while to hear about the pension credit! Nothing to do with the first of April! I mention the pension credit because we start to receive it on Wednesday (4th) Seems like we have been waiting for ages!
I think we are starting a new season in our lives and Being a new month and it being spring seems appropriate!
Next Sunday it will be Easter Sunday and that is the start of new beginnings as it is the day that Jesus rose from the dead and gave us hope for the future. Chris and I have decided to go and join a new church plant from our church, which has it's launch service on Easter Sunday. It is going to be held at the Notts County Ground which is only across the road from us! That is not the reason we are going though! We have been thinking about it for a few weeks and feel that is where God wants us to go as our next step and new season in Christ. It is all very exciting!
Yesterday we went to a wedding and it was very special as it was an older couple. Our friend had waited patiently for God to bring a special man into her life who could become her husband. God brought a lovely man into her life and they both looked so happy and full of God's joy and blessing as they came back down the aisle. We were so happy to have been there at the church to be part of their day.
Sometimes we can find ourselves in the same place for years because it feels comfortable. That is not always the right place for us to be as it may not challenge us enough or help us to grow as people. I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I missed God's best for me... There is no need to be afraid as God is with us every step of the way. For me I have the peace of God and that means everything to me. I do hope you will think about Easter and what that means for you .....
