Playin
TGF a lovely afternoon at the Beacon playin in the sun. TGF playing frisbee for ages and NOT having a black eye now! TGF managing to cycle there and back (there was hard!!) TGF the times when He gives me peace about stuff and I can just enjoy the small moments.
Ems
TGF Em... who never treats me like an Aspie and who never tells me how to behave and who doesn't live in the crazy world of 'the church'.
God's timing is perfect
..and he has a mean sense of humour!!!
So, yesterday I was in the sports hall with 130 year 6s. Kate comes in to the little foyer bit to tell me I am summoned to the Deputy Head's office yet again. We have this conversation about how things 'can't get any worse'.. and I say 'well, actually.. just when you think things have hit rock bottom, and cannot possibly get any worse... they do' and right on cue... Doooosh!!! a ball comes through the half open door and whacks me on the side of the head!!!
Kate was crying with laughter, and after half a second of being mad so was I.. went out into the rain, looked up and applauded God for being funny, but mean! Think it was a full 5 mins before Kate could stop laughing enough to tell the others in pastoral about God's perfect timing :-)

Communication
TGF Him reassuring me yet again... telling me it will all happen if I just Trust Him and am faithful (book called 'My Dear Child' this time).
TGF a much needed talk yesterday.. one I was dreading, but that went through difficult and tears to leave us parting much closer. Think God is letting me know what I need to do, and reassuring me that He is doing the rest... I've learned that when I'm not in control God is free to do His stuff.
TGF the talk on Tuesday that I would never have made happen.. but through "chance" God made it happen. I hope I said what I was supposed to. I seem a bit more sure too about the path God has mined up for me. Its a scary one, but I don't think I will walk it alone. God made all of us. He made all of us different. He made us exactly how we are for his purposes. Its a slow process learning to go from hating how he made us, and how it makes life difficult for us (would often give anything to be straight, NT etc) to seeing that maybe these things give us a unique position from which to fufill his unique purposes for us.
