I have been back to the hospital today with my son for more blood tests. We should know in the next few weeks, what the results are and we can go from there. I am going to spend that time staying close to God, and also to my children, keeping us all positive.
I felt very angry yesterday, not something I am comfortable with at all, I was angry with everything and everyone and I talked to a friend and she prayed with me and it helped so much, to put my focus back on God and not disappointments. The enemy tries to sneak in there and fill your mind full of fears and doubts, so I say to the enemy, go get lost!! lol
Thanks for all your kind thoughts and prayers xxx

My son and I spent all day yesterday at the hospital. He was given a room, he was tagged and we were asked hundreds of questions. We were visited by the anaesthetist, told that it would be a day long operation. Then the surgeon came to see us and told us that the last lot of blood tests had come back as abnormal for liver function again and that the operation was cancelled. We have to wait for the results of the tests to see what else is wrong. So we came home.
If I were dealing with all this in my own strength, I would be a complete wreck, but God is covering me and my family, He is helping us to stay positive in all of this. Thank you for your many prayers, we do appreciate them xxx

You are the thread through which my life is woven
You are the one who comforts me
You work in me, to see a new creation
Through Your loss,I gained my life
Through every trial, You tread the path before me
You are my rock, my calm through all life's storms
When I'm weak, Your strength is all I need
On my knees, I worship You
I am broken, humbled, safe now in Your presence
Nothing hurts me when I am near to You
You wrap me in Your tender arms
I know I'm Yours, Forever more....
Hey!...on a roll here! Just worshipping God and praising Him and sharing more words from a song that I have written....God is so good!!!

For You King Jesus, all I have to offer
Is my Life, I give it to You
You're my all, You're everything
Every breath and song I sing
I am nothing, if I'm not in You
Hail to the Lord of my days
You are the Lord that I praise
I love the One who made me
You set me free, gave me liberty
You are all that I need
To make me complete
You are always there
All my trials you share
I will worship You for all my days
I wrote this song about three years ago, was going through a very difficult time, due to my health. I find writing helps me to focus on God.
The song is a bit like my faith...simple! lol When I feel down, I sing it and it helps..

This morning, I spent time at the hospital with my son. We saw his surgeon, who wanted to explain the findings of his blood tests. He said the tests showed that my son had jaundice but the he wasn't presenting as someone who had jaundice, so he thought that the results might be incorrect. So my son had to have all his blood tests done again.
My son was distraught, he has a fear of needles. The surgeon decided that he would take the bloods himsef and I watched as this man soothed my son, got him to talk about his love of playing the electric guitar and rock music and saw the fear leave him. The surgeon promised to play my son's favourite rock cd during the operation and said that it seems to help patients, it works on them subconsciously.
The surgeon today helped my son, helped me by showing how compassionate he was and gentle and kind and also made me have faith in him for undertaking the operation.
God has been so good to us, to my family, what started out as a really stressful, worrying day, turned out to be a blessing. I am not worried about the new results, what will be will be and I can now cope.
Thank you Lord for being there, for lifting us all and thank you for this surgeon.

Lord, You know everything there is to know about me, You know and understand my heart, my frailties; You also know how much I can bear. Lord I pray for Strength in the coming days, and peace, Your amazing peace, so that I may deal with everything I have to deal with. Sometimes I find it hard to do things in Your strength and not my own but I am clinging to You now; You are my only hope in this situation. Lord, I love You with all my being, I worship You, You are my friend, my father, my everything, Lord help me to be the best mother I can be, help me to stay calm and strong and hopeful. Please help my son, keep him calm and peaceful and let him feel Your loving arms around him.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Hi all,
Yeah I'm that lady lol!! Im trying to branch out into singing jazz and blues. I've made a demo cd and am waiting to work with a new band, which is very exciting. I used to be in a worship band; which I loved but for personal reasons, I have stepped down, for now.
It's a very different thing to sing blues and jazz, than worship music, although in worship music, the variety is immense, from contemporary to classical hymns, which I also love.
I have thought of whether it is appropriate for me to sing other types of music than Christian music but I have also thought of the opportunities that will arise with regards to witnessing in that arena.
So, I am stepping out and doing something different, something that will give me emmense pleasure and hopefully others might enjoy too.
I'm not good at preaching in my blogs, I just speak from the heart and wanted to tell you a little of my life. xxx

My Son's Operation

Mood: anxious,

Hi all,
Today I got a date for my son's operation. He's going into hospital on the 26th June, and operated on on the 27th June. He has Scoliosis and has to have titanium rods fitted to correct his curved spine. They have told me the operation will probably be in two parts, the first to release the muscles, which have tightened, then a week later, the operation to fit the rods. He will be in hospital for a few weeks at least.
He went to the hospital today to have blood tests and more x rays. My ex husband took him and my son has a real fear of needles , so it was all rather distressing for him. He has other special needs, so sometimes finds things difficult and gets anxious.
I just wanted to ask for your prayers for him please and for us as a family, including my ex husband, that we can stay strong throughout this time.
I have to admit to feeling rather anxious but I know that God is with me in this, as with every trial and every joy.
Thanks for reading this
Izz xx

I have a friend who is always there for me. She helped me today, to tidy my untidy house..lol. She is very organised, unlike me, who tends to live in la la land most of the time!
I feel rather guilty, having someone help me when I feel I should keep on top of it myself but sometimes, it's just not possible.
We help each other out, we talk out issues and we laugh a lot.
Thank you Lord for friendships, not just because of what people can do for you but for what you can do for them too, so that you can enrich each other's lives.
