About Me

My photo
Well, where do I start? I could start at many stages in my life; all very exciting and adventurous in some sort of way. Probably best to start when I met my husband 10 years ago, as this was the turning point in my very emotional and dramatic life. Met Ben through work, we had a wonderful life together, very ambitious, career driven until we decided to started a family 4 years later. The fertility Journey did take 2 years to conceive but we got there eventually and conceived little Thomas, now for someone like me who has no patience what so ever this was a agonizing and stressful wait but well worth it. We moved from our home town Bournemouth to Ipswich with Ben's work, I gave up my careern and then married in Cumbria in 2009. We continued to have 2 more children very easily compared to Thomas, Jesiica and Baby Wilson.
One of the main reasons I have set up this blog is to gather advice and information on how I can be guided through my Journey into Christianity. "We need others around us who know Jesus. Who want God to influence their lives", "The Spiritual Starter Kit" Lesson # 5 - The value of other believers.
I am not perfect nor do I want to be, I am not here to change the world, or the way people think. I am just here to be happy and put the past behind me, wash away all the pain and view the world differently to the way I see it today. I want to be happy in no matter what I do, feel completeness and at peace with the world and admire all the beautiful things it has to offer me, my family and all my beautiful friends. I know this can happen it is just a matter of believing!


Please, I urge you to join my site and welcome any thoughts you may have or advice that will help me on my way! This site would not work without your input. Please note I am dyslexic, so, if anyone wishes to volunteer to edit my posts, by all means feel free.

Thought this was worth sharing!!! Owing God!

The Spiritual Starter Kit - # 8 Hi Alison Having a relationship with God can be a wonderful experience. Or extremely frustrating. There are land mines. I remember the first year or so after asking Jesus into my life. I loved getting to know God. I'd spend hours in the Gospels, captivated by Jesus' life and how he interacted with people. The more I read, the more I appreciated him. But I also found myself reading things in the Bible that took me off-guard. Certain actions were identified as *sins* that I had never viewed that way! I also found commands like: "be patient, tenderhearted, forgiving," which were far easier to read than to do. In frustration, I thought, "It was much easier being an atheist." Then, over the next several months, I started feeling like I owed God payback for all the great things he was doing in my life. I thought, "Now that I know God is there, I should be talking to him more. I should be reading the Bible more. I should be talking to my friends who don't know him. I should be, I should be...." Ok. Let me tell you -- that is NOT how God wants us to live out our relationship with him. He has not asked us to open our arms, brace our footing, and catch some enormous, cosmic to-do list. He also is not asking us to prove that we are worthy to know him -- we're not! And he's perfectly ok with that. God has an entirely different perspective on our relationship with him. I'd love for you to grab this now. (I wish I had realized this much sooner.) This is important. I put together for you a short, 5-part series I've simply called, "Skip the Stress." Here's the link: http://www.everystudent.com/skipstress.html If you would like to receive it, just fill in the form at the end of that page. This could save you a lot of frustration!
