I hope this encourages you...

"In Thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed: deliver me in Thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortres therefore for thy name's sake lead me and guide me. Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth." (Psm 31:1-5)
"O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully awardeth the proud doer. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord." (Psm 31:23-24)

I read this last night, and at the moment it seems to suit my position at the minute, not just these few verses, but the whole Psalm. And I just wanted to share it with you today... It made me feel like jumping for joy! I don't know how many times I have read this one, but last night it realy touched me.

In the last couple of months, I have been having some problems with my health. I don't know what is in store for me, or how serious it could turn out, but I know I have to place a whole lot more trust in the Lord. Please pray for me.

I love you guys,
God bless,
Sarah

back again :)

Hey people,

I have been kind of steering clear of the computer for a while (like since the computer blew up and we only had one laptop with internet on it) and I haven't had a lot of spare time on my hands anyway.
At least I have someone else at work to share the load a bit. She is great. As well as being one of my mate's mums, she used to be the school dentist and I have known her for years. On Saturday, Ingrid and I (Ayala tagged along too) went to Albury to look for pharmacy uniforms. We went to the uniforms shop and it was like $250 for 4 shirts (2 for each of us) so we had a look in Rockmans and they had a really nice jacket/vest so we decided on that for our base colour and it ended up being about $350 for about 4 shirts, the vest and 2 pairs of pants each. Much better value :). Now Kate wants a uniform like it too. That is a really great compliment when your boss likes the uniform so much, that she decides to get the same thing.

"Come thou fount of ev'ry blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace.
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me ever to adore thee
May I still Thy goodness prove.
While the hope of endless glory
fills my hear with joy and love.

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I've come.
And I hope by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought my when a stanger
Wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering soul to thee.
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart
O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above." -Robert Robinson

That has to be one of my favourite hymns. But the writer commited suicide 10 years later. That is really sad.

I'll write more another day.
God bless,
Sar
