Hi
Today I started with a busy morning and ended up really excited.
I opened my email to check the referral forms I needed to complete and I got an email from our co-ordinator that I won an iPad!
I attended a career's fair on the 28/09/16 and filled in a quiz card and won the prize! I collected it this afternoon and was very excited to ring home and tell family that I have won!
I have never had an iPad and The Lord has blessed me with one.
Everyday I pray for good people to work with, a good day, protection for me and my family here and back home and to glorify the Lord in everything I do.
Today I was working with a good team and I am so grateful.
I am grateful for a lot of things
The Lord has blessed me with a new training job, where I have met some really cool and amazing people
He allowed me to find a flat to rent near the work place
He kept me safe everytime driving home and back covering 140-160 miles
He has blessed me with good health and comfort
I come home and I am able to speak to my little one over the phone and my sister who is half the world away stays up and speak with me about life matters.
The Lord cares about us and answers our prayers!
I give back all the glory to God!!!

Hi
Today is my first night of four nights
Woke up late, can't sleep waiting for Brian to come home so I can call him and find out how he is.
Called after 4.30pm and he sounded happy over the phone
I asked about the rubik's cube competition over the weekend and he said it was good, I also asked if he wanted to tell me stories about it but he said next time.
That was good enough. I tried to get some sleep.
What I learned today
It is so good to hear Brian's voice, and know he is well and doing okay.

Hi
Today I woke up and planned to go to church at 11.15 am, but I had terrible rhinitis and postponed church for this evening. I didn't ring brian today, he was not happy with me over the phone yesterday evening, I kept reminding him to prioritise, not to bring his laptop, get his clothes ready and cube bag ready and do homework & revision. So I said to myself, he doesn't need reminding today, that might annoy him further - he just needs prayers. I keep praying for his protection, for him to put God first, for the Holy Spirit to guide him in his priorities and for him to have fun, and praying he is ready for Monday.
I also planned to go to IKEA but while looking at the directions, looking at how long it takes to drive, there was a feedback at the bottom of the website which said: Top tip-never go on Sundays and Bank holidays. I didn't go in the end.
Spoke to my twin sister on the phone and then went to church in the evening.
It's my third time attending Sunday service in this church, everybody appears lovely and majority of the group are young adults and students. There were a couple of young boys on my right who sang really well, I got the sense that they loved church but were sometimes easily distracted - reminded me of Brian -made me smile.
What I have learned today is the importance of going to church.
The more we find excuses not to go to church, the more we HAVE to go to church.
The message was very important, it was the message of salvation. Salvation is what we need. 'Understanding the free gift of heaven offered through Jesus Christ. The more we know about it, the more we should anticipate and live for it' (d.piper 2015).

Hi
Thank you for inviting me to join and start writing again.
I joined last year, completed day 1 and somehow did not manage to continue. This time, lets hope I persevere and complete writing for the next 31 days.
A lot has changed after 12 months. From my last blog in October 1, 2015, I passed the clinical skills OSCEs last November 2015 and sat the SJT exam in January 2016, I was allocated an FY1 post in April but have not heard anything until June confirming my post. The Lord is gracious and my post in QMC Nottingham was definite to start on the 28th of August 2016. Lots of planning to do, decisions to make, forms to complete and send.
My son, Brian, signed up for European Rubik's cube competition last July which was held in Prague. We saw the beautiful city. The competition was held in a sports hall called Sportovni Hala Radotin, and it was very organised. We met the world's number 1 in rubik's cube, UK & Ireland's number 1 and whole lot of famous cubers. It was a great experience especially for Brian who signed up as staff member. His average solves was not the best but he had lots of fun, met lots of wonderful people, it was great!
I resigned on the 23rd of June from the hospital I have worked for for 13 years. On my last day, the advise from two of the consultants was something I will not forget, everybody seem to be supportive. It was time to move on to bigger and better things.
I had another exam, the PSA exam on the 22nd of July in Nottingham, and during this time I took the opportunity to look for places to rent near the hospital. I saw one and I applied for it.
I had days to spend with Brian before moving to Nottingham, it was days spent telling him important life advise, what to do in case of emergencies, looking after the puppies, cleaning the house, making sure his uniform was washed regularly at the end of each week, make sure his dad has arranged school run arrangements, makes sure his dad was aware of school meetings and events, to eat and drink well, prioritise school work, try and sleep early, read devotions, church on Sundays and pray, pray, pray.
This was crucial time for both of us, him doing his GCSEs and I had to do my training. I miss him a lot, but this is an opportunity for his dad to look after him and create meaningful relationship together.
What I have learned the past 2 months
I can survive living far away from Brian and that I need to cover him with more prayers than ever before.
I have learned that he can survive without his mother and he seem to be doing better than I imagined.
I have learned that I can drive the motor ways and be able to drive hours on end to go home, spend time with Brian and the puppies and then drive back again.
I have learned that there will always be not-so-good people at work but we just have to step back, take a deep breath and deal with it. I tend to linger a little about it in my head, makes me so frustrated and then realise what is the point? It does not make me a better person and I have accomplished nothing. At the same time, there are good people at work and I think they are amazing.
I have lost weight which I thought I would never be able to do.
I have downloaded more kindle books than before and learned that I am fascinated by NDEs - having said that, my sister said, it's time to read the real book first before reading any other books, so now I am reading Exodus and relearning the story of Moses.
I have learned that the Lord puts us where He wants us to be and provides us with everything we need. Jesus reroutes every wrong way and moves us to the safest place - the centre of His will (g.smith)
Thank you Jesus!

Thursday the 1st of October.
I am new to blogging. I love writing but I don't seem to have the time to write. I keep all my creative writings in my head. Then after taking a nap to rest from either a full days work, or recovering from a night shift or just after cleaning the house and walking the dogs, all my literary work in my head has disappeared.
I would like to write about how I have realised so much, understood so much of life now that I am 40.
Today is a good day to start.
Today is my day off. I have ten thousand things to do, it's already 17:53 in the afternoon.
I have accomplished what I think I needed to accomplish this morning. That is the daily, waking up my little one, guide him to get ready for school, make sure he has breakfast, then bring him to school. After the school run, I normally go to the food store and get my grocery list, and today I also needed to send a parcel in the post.
As soon as I arrive home, I am greeted by my husband and my 2 gorgeous dogs. I have Cookie, a 6 year old male Shih Tzu and Queenie, 2 year old Shih Tzu. We have breakfast. My husband goes off to sleep as he is from night shift and I go and walk my lovely dogs. While walking my dogs, I line chat with my sisters who are half way around the world. That's another huge amount of story.
Back at my doorstep, I am greeted by my neighbour 4 doors to my right. He is asking if my female dog is having puppies. Unfortunately she's not. I don't think they have plans just yet.
After walkies, my household chores start. After household chores, I need to revise for my upcoming OSCEs exams. I have been putting it off and now it's near. The exam is on the 5th of November, and I am desperately praying I have time to revise, practice as well as family and full time work in between.
Why is it when you have a big exam, you find other things to do? By the time I tell myself it's time to read I am so tired and fall asleep.
At the moment I am reading:
The Essential OSCE for Medical and Surgical Finals
The Unofficial guide to passing OSCEs
Simply Tuesday by Emily Freeman
Stroke of Insight by Dr. Taylor
Praying God's will for your life by Stormie OMartian
Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman
This evening, there is a meeting at 7pm in school. So I will see you all again tomorrow.
