God always answers my prayers, not in the way I think he will but he has never let me down, he has been a good good father. I am grateful for him giving me a joyful spirit and I trust that all will be well and he is working for my good.

My mum and my whole family were praying for me to pass my GCSE's and thanks to all the prayers and God's grace, I passed and now I'm really enjoying my life as a sixth former.

I want to thank God for healing and restoration, I am in remission from cancer! I had a stroke and other medical complications after chemo that I am still struggling with but I wouldn't be here without God. I am blessed everyday for the health I have and the time I get to spend with my daughter and my grandchild. God has got me through so much and praise his name- he is still doing a good work in me.

This year marked 6 years since I lost my dad and 24 years since I lost my mum. I held a lot of bitterness and anger towards both parents for different things and it's taken me a while but with continued prayer, talking to God, spending time in his word, I have been able to let go of a lot of the pain and not only forgiven them but myself too. Grief comes in ebs and flows and I don't think I could have done any of it without my faith, my conversations with my heavenly father, my heavenly parent has helped me heal the relationship with my earthly parents. Thank you father for never leaving me or forsaking me, thank you Lord for your overwhelming love.
