Thankyou for the..

Dear mr God.
Thankyou for the..
Loving and encouraging Godly fiance
Friends that you have given me
For the encouragement to keep going
For the song in my heart
For the degree
For this time of rest
For the opportunities to help those in need
For the job to come
For somewhere to sleep
For the continued blessing it is to be part of and serve in my church
For the air in my lungs
For the world that you made
For the family that you gave.
For these and more I am greatful.

With love x

Since I was 7 i've wanted to be a physiotherapist.
How does someone decide there life so young? At the time it seemed so obviously that God had told me. I wish he still talked to me so clearly or at all.

Regarding physio, I've always been really proactive in seeking out the next step.
When i was 14 i wrote to weston hospital asking to do work experience but they said i was too young and to reapply when i was older - they took me a year later. I then blagged work experience through friends at 2 other hospitals.
I got told by the careers advisor that i would never get into any uni particularly any of the top 3 which she labelled as cardiff uwe or nottingham. Strangely as she said it i decided that those were the ones I wanted to get into.
After applying somehow I got into uni. My personal tutor was the hockey teacher so I taught hockey for the year 7's, and being hockey captin and with going to the pub in pe alevel lessons it ended up that I got good friends with her. She did my reference and gave me the predicted grades i needed. I then had a car accident and got my head of year to write to my universitys to persuade them to have me.
Some how i got offers of BBCC and BCCD despite the AAB labelled on the website - these were from the supposed top 3. HA.
Depite missing my biology grade most exceptionally they let me in..I cried.
Some may say I just knew the right people and the system.

And here I am in my final year. Probably a rubbish degree classification but with firsts in every placement. Ther's now hardly any jobs. Waiting has always been an issue for me and apparently its too early to apply.
Apparently all I need is a mustards seeds worth of faith.
Why do I want it so much? Because of something i felt nearly 14 years ago? Apparently you shouldnt rely on feelings anyway - bollocks. What else is there to rely on? Oh yeah thats what faith is.

A friend you will stay to me..What ever else were going to be

A kiss without commitment's
Like a flower without the rain
It only leads to pain
And it fills my heart with emptiness
Your touch without commitment's
Like a calm before the storm
The tears are starting to form in my eyes

When I kissed you I was curious
The child that I was
I never realised I would love you so
And in the magic of the moment
I was swept to the side
And I saw your heart
So small and tender

Physical is fine
But I cannot avoid the pain
I'm like an express train
As I surge towards the mountains
I am certain as I'm livin'
I cannot do this again
We're much too greater friends
To play games

When I kissed you it was
Everything I dreamed it would be
But I never dreamed it would mean so much to me
And our friendship is too valuable to carelessly lose
So today I choose
To really love you

Jessica your heart is
Like a newly budding rose
Expanding as she grows
Your petals have been bruised
But you have so much love to give
And it's so beautiful to see
You're beautiful to me, my friend

And when I kissed you
I believed it wouldn't get in the way
I want to stay your friend and have it fine
And I'm hoping that our God can make great things of our lives
His love survives
The greatest struggles

Jessica your gate is open, nothing in your way
A friend you'll always stay to me
Whatever else we're gonna be..
Please make sure..a friend
You'll always stay to me

Mean girls, part 1

Mum:Why are my tribal vases under the sink?
Cadie:I don’t know
Mum:This is the fertility vase of the umbabelly tribe, does that mean anything to you?
Cadie:No
Mum:Who are you?
Cadie:Great, all my friends hate me and now my mum hates me
Dad:Your mum does not hate you, she’s afraid of you
Dad:I dunno, Maybe we mainstreamed schooled you too early, maybe you should come back and be home schooled for a while.
Cadie:No the only thing worse than going back will be not going back
Dad:How bad is it going to be tomorrow?
Cadie:Remember when we saw those lions fighting over the warthog carkcasis?
I’ll be the warthog.
Dad:Your not a warthog, you’re a lion.

You are still an excellent student right?
Cadie: yeahhhh, I need you to sign my callculous paper.
Dad:Why?
Cadie:Im failing.
Dad:Hmmm okk.Sighhhhh. You are.., what do they call it, grounded.

Murmers: ‘she pushed her in front of a bus’

loving me for me

Stripped of all make up,
no need for fancy clothes
No cover ups, push ups
With him, I dont have to put on a show.
He loves every freckle,
every curve,
every inch of my skin.
Fulfilling me entirely,
taking all of me in.
Hes real, hes honest.
Unconditionally he's there for me.
But the best quality thats hookin me,
Is that hes loving me for me.
He saved me.
