In my Small Group we have been looking at Philippians recently and it’s really inspired me! Paul has such an obvious love for his brothers and sister in Christ. Even when he is in prison he is thanking God and praising God for them. He’s hundreds of miles away from them but they are still on his heart and daily he is lifting them to the Lord. This has really challenged me. God has blessed me with so many awesome friends who are doing his work all over the country and also in different parts of the world, but if I’m honest it is rare that I really sit down and pray for them. ‘Them’ includes a lot of you guys who are reading this…sorry I don’t pray for you more, I really want to and will start doing so. If there is anything specific that you want prayer for at the moment please let me know and I will commit to praying for you!

Hello beautiful people whom I haven’t seen or spoken to in a long time!

I want to pass on something very important thing that I’ve learnt this week… ALWAYS back up your work! On Saturday night beautiful computer decided that she no longer wanted to speak to my hard drive and therefore stopped working, taking with her my 3000 word essay which I had just finished. It was a very sad time!!!

But in all things God works for good. It was as of he was saying to me, now Hayley look at me and we will get through this, I’m bigger than all the academic stuff you have on right now! So I’ve looked to God, got an extension on my essay and living in the library! Fun times!

I wasn’t really prepared for the enormous slog of 3rd year its actually mental! But God is reminding me to look at him and if I do I know everything is going to be ok!!

O and Happy Lent!! I’ve given up Facebook…apart from 15 mintues on a Sunday and buying lunch when I could just go home and eat!

Lots of love
