light to show me the way

Sorry I haven't blogged for a while now. Basically some great things have begun to happen for us. I have got a job at the moment- albeit one from an agency and one that may face government cuts (which we will know about in December).
So a breakdown of what's happened since the last time I blogged:
August late- I got shingles. This is when I thought that enough was enough, and that I couldn't actually go any further along the same path without re-addressing some issues. Which came to me through God via a TV show called Being Erica. It was an episode where Erica went back in time to a place where she had everything that she wanted. She then lost it all and came back to the same predicament that she was facing in the present time which was a lack of a job- she got sacked. But the difference was that she begun to do something about it. I decided then to do something about my situation. I still have small doubts about my own suitability/ ability full stop to do this- but basically I have applied to do a PGCE course. Craig is supporting me all the way which is brilliant. And I feel that our marriage is bringing us closer together.
I ahve doubts about certain aspects of teaching- but I am willing to give it a go, because I think with God's help I can overcome these issues and become a competent teacher of English. I am waiting on some universities to get back to me and I am also going to keep applying for any teaching assistant jobs that come up, as I would love to do a GTP.

We are settling into Stoke now, well I feel that we are pushing ourselves into it. It seems to be working to some extent. Today was the first day that I helped out in the church youth group and Craig was on the doors.

I'm also very much getting ready for Christmas- which is outrageously early for me, but we have lots of people coming around and I feel that organising it is taking up a lot of my thought time- it's almost like I need a calendar separately for that, which I might well make tomorrow at work!

I am enjoying my work, I feel that I am making a difference. I really like it.

I thank God for giving me a job and bringing me to this place. I am seeking His face for the next step that He will have me take, and I am asking and praying for light to show me the way.
