As I look outside my open windows to the grey skies above, I feel a pinch of loss and regret for summer leaving so soon. Yesterday was the worse rainfall we'd seen all year and a teenager was caught and swept overboard by its intensity. I just wish the seasons would last longer and the days stay even sweeter. 8pm and it's already dark now as I tighten my grip on my bathrobe and cold palms around cups of tea. I dont want to be here this gloomy saturday morning staring outside my window....I wish I was close to the sea.. is there anyplace youd rather be?

Learn to let things go.

God Is Bigger than your Pain Today's Scripture "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" (Jeremiah 29:11) Today's Word from Joel and Victoria Have you ever had anything unfair happen to you? We certainly have and we think that everyone has experienced disappointments, setbacks, heartache, or hurts at one time or another. Unfortunately, many people continue to live negative, bitter, resentful lives because they are still holding on to the pain of yesterday.
The good news is we serve a really big God. He is bigger than your past, bigger than your disappointments, bigger than your problems. No matter what kind of mistakes you have made, God can turn them all around and use them for good. He can right all the wrong things that have happened to you and pay you back in abundance for all the hurt you've experienced.
It doesn't matter what you have been through in the past. Your future can start today. Let hope fill your heart and receive God's mercy. Release all of your anger, guilt, and condemnation. Forgive those who have wronged you, stop carrying around the baggage of yesterday and make a fresh start today. When you do, God will give you a new beginning. Begin each day declaring, "with God all things are possible," "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and "everything I put my hand to today will prosper." These are not idle words or motivational sayings; it's the Word of God, His promises for your life. A Prayer for Today God, with You all things are possible. I am ready to forget the past and start believing Your promises for my future. I am going to release any bitterness, hurt or resentment to You. I am going to let go of the past and start fresh today. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Just a quick typo to say hi and that I hope everyone is having a good summer so far. Still no word of a job on my front, but I have been very busy constructing a new website where I can put all my works under one roof. It was touch and go for a few days too I can tell you. I should have asked my husband for help. He’s more of the software computer type. But I got there in the end and here she is http://www.candyadderley-dawe.fusiveweb.co.uk/, where you can find out all that Ive been up to, upcoming books, and lots of free stuff Im just dying to give away. So please have a look when you have the time. Thanks. Now back to some housework I guess. heehe. I cant have my husband coming home and meeting me in a bathrobe now can I? And besides, the local paper with all the jobs in it comes out today so Im going to try my luck again. Someone out there please hire me. Im very hardworking, and kind and professional and will give you my personal best. Ah well. Thought Id give it a shot, just in case they google my name when they get my application. hehe. Well, you never know these days! Its another grey day here in England and strangely enough, Im starting to enjoy the complexities of the English weather! Now where was that cup of tea?

A Bone To Pick With Death Who told you? You could simply take what you wanted Without asking Like some brazen tone dead robber Breaking through the front door In broad daylight If eternity means nothing to you Couldn’t you have least waited until nightfall? Oh no You just go ahead and take what you want At a split’s moment notice sometimes Greed so excessive, so hollow You don’t give time to grieve Or inklings for a proper goodbye Pushing and poking Your nose into places Where you’re clearly not wanted With no regard to anyone’s feelings But your own How could you be so callous? Stand down I beg you, stand down And give love a fighting chance. By Candy AdderleyDawe Taken from my book 'Not By Bread Alone' http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=944010

Forgive me for stating the bleeding obvious here but isn't it funny how one's mood can change as rapidly as the weather? Take yesterday for instance in Cambridgeshire, I know everything turned out all right in the end and there were smiles all around, but in the morning, there was a brief period of 'hit and miss' where you didn’t know what was going on, and i was as miserable as the weather! I’ve been waiting for my decision letter to come back from the UK nursing council, and how many of us can agree that when you’re waiting on something, it seems to take FOREVER? yes i know, that's how i feel. and while ive been waiting, ive been working on my second book to keep me occupied. Sometimes successfully, and then again like yesterday sometimes not. waiting is never easy. it's a game of skill and mind over matter... but today looks gorgeous so far so im not going to sit at my computer and drip salty tears into my keyboard today....oh no...im going to catch the bus into town and see if i cant find something local to do while i wait....hope you have a gorgeous day as well and never for a second forget....just how unforgettable you are..

Have you ever heard that something spectacular begins to happen on the cellular level when you start to beleive God with all of your heart for something? Well I did and guess what? I proved it without a shadow of a doubt that God is true, his word is pure and that he will send angels by your side whenever youre down or afraid. Perhaps I’d better explain. The last time I spoke to you I was about to board a British Airways flight for a nine and a half hours flight home to The Bahamas and I wasnt too happy about it. I met up with my friend the day before for coffee and a round of prayers and then my other friend met up with me in my home that evening for another chat and herbal spray that I could take midair on the flight. But my medications werent kicking in and I was trying hard to take God literally at his word that he would protect me and watch over me. I had my television on to any christian station I could find as I packed, and even up the minute my husband dropped me off to the airport and forcibly unclinged me from his shirt, I still wasnt sure I was going. But I checked in okey…in a daze was more like it, and made my way for the waiting area. You should have seen me there all calm and serene and flicking nonchantly through my newspaper Then it happened. They started to annouce the first boarding call for passengers traveling on BA Flight253, May 31st,2008, 10am to Nassau, Bahamas final stop to the Cayman Islands and everything in me saw red. I grabbed up my phone and frantically called my husband ( who by some wisdom wasnt going to leave the airport until id actually got on the plane) and told him to come get me NOW becuase i was not about to board this big ‘thing’. He calmly told me to go to one of the airstewardness before the lines started and to tell them i was a nervous flyer. I told him thank you I would do that and ring him right back. Fat chance! He told me I could do it while he was still on the phone. The man was so unto me!I was really jammed now. I tentatively made my way over the boarding desk, started to say something and promptly burst into tears. I could have whipped myself i was so mortified. But the tears wouldnt stop coming! I kept crying and crying while the poor woman managed to pry it out of me that I was terrified of flying and if I didnt get on that plane RIGHT Now there was no chance in hell of getting me on it later on. She gently led me down the long walkway before the other passengers settled on and radioed ahead that she was bringing a lady in distress with her. I did okay until we banked the corner and caught a glimpse of the plane open door. I broke away from the lady, jammed myself into a corner , burst into a fresh load of tears and refused to move one inch. The chief air stewardness had to come out to speak to me and after a long talk between sniffles and my now concerned and convinced husband on the other end, I made it unto the plane where the stewardess said i could sit near her so she could keep an eye on me. She went to get me some water, I rest my head gingerly against the seat, felt the engine rumbling beneath and made a beeline for the door. The stewardess came behind me and in the end the pilot, Caption Sarah- God bless you madam - came out to see what all the fuss was about and to talk to me. When she looked me in the eyes and held her hand out in mines something in me went still. I meekly followed her back on board that plane again like a lamb following its mother around the pasture. A deep part of me on some spiritual level instinctively trusted and beleived everyword that she told me. The chief stewardness - God bless you too madam - sat with me for the landing and taking off of the plane and the whole crew was so wonderful to me I cant begin to describe it. It was being a part of a family and thats why I have always and will always only fly British Airways if I can help it. The staff was one in a million and when we touched down in Nassau, 9 hours later, the pilot gave me a hug on the way out and i could have kissed her in sheer joy and elation I was sooo happy to be home. People have always talked about angels roaming here on earth and for the first time in my life, I know exactly what they mean, because on that BA253 flight, I truelly met an angel. Lots of them to be exact and they showed without a shadow of a doubt that they truelly care and could go way beyond the call of duty on their jobs. Im so sorry for all the trouble that I caused but am so glad that I put my hand in yours Caption Sarah and followed you on board. You gave me my life back. I got to see my family again for the first time since i came to England 3 years and for the first time ever in my life as well, Im not afriad to fly. I didnt take any medication on my journey back. Thank you British Airways. May God bless and keep you. May he shine his loving arms around your company and staff and give you peace and many years of prosperity. Candy Adderley Dawe
