Spring Cleaning.

I have had a very productive day off. I have been doing laundry and ironing, I cleaned the kitchen and tidied rooms. And I did the thing that I haaate the most - I cleaned out the fridge. I know this is disgusting but it was so gross...I have been putting it off for weeks. That's gross. I am gross. But all is well now and I have some happy little vegetables in my fridge now. This makes me happy and I feel very proud of myself.

I did it again. I ordered food online again. This time it was a little better because I got to speak to the driver. So it was kinda like speaking to the person that checks through all your items, right? Well that is how I took it. And with all that lovely food that came, I made a lovely dinner. Roast Chicken...my faaaavourite! I made some sauteed potatoes and cauliflower cheese, add some broccoli and carrots and that is our dinner! Yum, yum, yummmm. I am just about to make a delicious, easy dessert too. You should try it.

500g frozen fruit

500g natural yogurt

2 tablespoons honey

Mix it all together and you get yourself a yummy, ice-cream-like, dessert! DO IT.

I have also been Spring-cleaning my mind...does that make sense? hmm. Let me try and explain myself. I have been reading different bibles passages and reading 2 books. One that I am reading is called Promises From God for Single Ladies - this has been just the encouragement that I have needed! The other one is called Simple Prayer - I have only just started reading this but I am hoping I can learnt a lot from this. So far it has been pretty good (all those 3 pages that I have read...I will keep you posted!) I am trying to keep my time filled with good things. There are soooo many things all around that scream at us to do the wrong thing that it makes it hard to do the right thing. Let me tell you this, I have never been happier than whe I am fully relying on the Lord and trusting in Him, losing myself in His word and doing what is right in His eyes. Of course sometimes I mess up, but the Lord continues to love me.

I have been really encouraged by this blog and I know you will be too. Especially just now. Go and check it out and find out who sweet Elsa is, and then praise the Lord! He is soooo good. 

I'm leaving you with this lovely photo of me and one of my best friends, my sister. Miss Lucy. So this was a few years ago now. But it is adorable. We were adorable. We liked to play in the dirt. I'm not sure if we would do this today still..? Who am I kidding, of course we would.

Happy Tuesday!

Sick of being sick.

Ok. I have been sick since Tuesday. I hate being sick. I am getting no sleep at all. I wake up pretty much every hour from 3am. Argh. Not cool. Then I wake up in the morning and I can't breathe. On Wednesday morning I went into town because I had to get a few things for this weekend (it's my mum's birthday) and it felt good to get out of the house. It was such a beautiful day, the sun was shining but it was still cold. I had been there no longer than 30 minutes when I started to feel horrible again. My head actually felt like it was going to explode, I had a temperature and my throat was so sore. So I spent the rest of that day recovering from my little venture into the "Big City". So I was off work yesterday, and again today. I didn't do an awful lot yesterday, then I changed the sheets on by bed and worked up a cold sweat! AHHH. I'm off work again today but think I will  probably go back tomorrow. I have so enjoyed not being at work just now. I need to fill y'all in on why work is driving me nuts! It will be nice to get out of the house though. There come a point when you just get bored with sitting around trying to feel better. And there are only so many times you can watch Gilmore Girls. Now I do love Gilmore Girls but yesterday I watched the same episode 4 times. Yes, 4 times. One thing that is lovely just now. That it is not dark when I am walking to work.

And I think that is probably enough rambling from me...today! Sorry for going on about being sick.

First signs of SPRING!

I had to buy a magazine the other day because it just screamed at me "SPRING IS COMING!!" On the cover I read the words "first signs of SPRING" and I was so excited. The magazine is called County Living and my mum often buys it. It is full of little lovelies, I always enjoy looking through it and thinking to myself, I'm going to have that in my home.

We bought these beautiful flowers. They make me smile everytime I walk into the room. Today the sun was shining on them and they colours were so bright! They have the most gorgeous scent too. It smells like Spring around here. I can't wait to see blossoms on the trees and Daffodils in the gardens. I love Spring, actually I just love it when the seasons change. So right now, I do love Spring.

The Hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful" springs to mind here. No pun intended. I have lovely memories of singing this song in assembly with and our Head Teacher holding up huge cards with the lyrics written on them. Oh how times have changed. ♥
