sick of being sick and 5 good things

ive decided im sick of being sick. for almost a month now ive had one thing after another. i was told it was lack of sleep, food and a lot of stress. i have lost 1/2 a stone in 3 weeks, which is a lot for someone who has very little excess to lose. so ive started trying to eat a lot and take some meds to help me get through the night. i had a nasty rash cover my chest for a few days and a few other things.

its good for me to write this stuff down because a lot of stuff is very hard to share with people, as ive realised recently. but i also know that its not helpful to go off on one, so that all i'll say. mainly because i really feel like i needed to write about something and also because i really feel like i need some help and prayer.

no need being completely downcast.

so here's 5 good things that have happened in my life this month:

1) god has really met with me and spoken to me and out of some good times with him ive got some great new worship songs i felt like god give me for the church.
2) i did really well in my first uni exam results.
3) great new job, lots of hard work but also lots of responsibility.
4) passed my driving test and already get to drive a sweet 4x4 2.8ltr pick-up truck at work!
5) moving into a new house with a great family who are completely brilliant

nigel dutton (elder in hastings) spoke a word over me a few years ago about me being a 'bricks and mortar man' meaning i will be used to help 'build' and 'grow' the church. i wrote it down at the time and completely forgot about the second half of that word, until i found the piece of paper last week, where he said that i would be known as a man who finds god in brokeness and that out of painful times feeling broken god would use me in great ways.

he really is the only one.
