more ramblings in the life of Adele

well since i can't sleep and have now been awake for over an hour (its only 7:30 at the mo) and i slept really badly last night i have decided to give up on the sleep idea and blog instead!

so whats happened since my last blog?? Not much really. I am still being sick, however not as much as i have realised that it is mainly fluids that are making me sick so i have got some 'thick and easy' thickener for food and drinks. Its not greatly pleasent in taste or texture, but i am now at least getting some fluids into me so hopefully i can stop myself getting to dehydrated and can keep myself out of hospital!! I have been tested for a bacteria that can live in the stomach called helicobacter. Should hopefully get the results today. part of me really hopes that it is this cus then at least i know how it can be treated and get this sickness behind me. But apparently the treatment really isn't nice so part of me hopes its not.

we had valentines day since my last blog, and what a lovely day it was!! Paul gave me the sweetest alternative to a card, if you wish to see you can se it here. I also got 12 red roses and a book by john piper called 'The misery of Job and the mercy of God' its a really great poem about Job, it also includes the CD of the poem. The book is very nicely illistrated and very nicely set out. I think it only takes about 45 mins in total to read/listen to, but is split into 4 sections if you dont have the time to do it in one go. I was gripped however, and once i started i wanted to finish it!!! If you want to listen to the poem then go here and scroll down the page until you get to 1994-Job. It was SO nice to see paul again! I had missed him SO much over the couple of weeks we have been apart. I get to see him again either tonight or tomorrow, and i can't wait!!:) Love you Paul!

I have also been catching up on some of my missed bible readings. I haven't totally caught up yet, but i am on my way. Isn't it great how much God allows us to learn about him through his word, and how life transforming it is!!! I love reading the bible SO much, i just wish that i would make the time more often as it is such a valuble thing that should be done every day. It is down to my sinful nature that it doesn't.

Other then that i have been spending time with Rachel and Lexi. Its been SO nice spending so much time with them both. Things have been hectic there end arranging the christening on sunday. 2 more days and i will be officially Godmum to Alex. How blessed am i to have such a beautiful boy as my Godson, and such a wonderful friend in Rachel. If you want to see Alex's blog which contains some VERY cute pictures of him then go here.

well that is it (thank goodness do i hear you cry...)

Praise God points!
