It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

It's my birthday today. Yay me!! Yay God for making me!! Here are my love languages. Looks like I'm bit high maintainence...or you could look at it and think, I could pick any of the top three and she would know I love her...therefore making it easy - you have many options to choose from!

I'm surprised that gifts are low, but, having said that, I have always LOVED the home-made jobs, or the gifts that say you know me which I guess would come under quality time.


I want to learn your language. I don't just want to take a test and live by the rules. I want to learn your language, and speak it with you. I want to be welcomed into your world and love you the way that you were made to be loved.

Teach me your language. Speak it with me. I love you

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Andrex soft and long

I have been to see Katy May a few times now and every time I visit, she amazes me!! She doesn't seem weak at all. of course, she is fragile, but there is nothing weak about her. She is so strong. I imagine so often all of the things that the Father must being saying to her. She is going to live an amazing life! Mark and Leanne have also knocked me over sideways with all of their wisdom and love for Katy. the are just the perfect parents for her! I LOVE Seeing my big bro being a Daddy. He's such a natural. He's also a better blogger than I am...but oh well!

Thank you so much for your prayers and support!

On another COMPLETELY different note, I'm sure you're wondering what it is like for me to back in the UK away from Brazil and my Lover.

Well, amongst other things, I have not gotten used to the old toilet habbits!!! Even though at my first restaurant experience back in Wales, when going to the toilet, I actually did put the paper in the bin and not down the toilet, I have adjusted to that function. BUT, what I haven't adjusted to is how thick and luxurious toilet paper can be. In Brazil, 2ply is a rarety, so I developed a habbit of using more than I needed, just to 'pad' it out a bit, after all, no need to worry that it will block the toilet, coz it's gonna go in the bin anyway right?!

Well, good old Andrex, does not require quite as many sheets to be used, oh no. But I am still finding myself wrapping it around and around, and simply using tooooo much! I am infact in danger of blocking the toilet and causing quite an embaressing scene!

Pray for me, please!

Katy May Richards

My niece - Katy May was born on April 30th 2007, weighing a tiny 750g and about 21cm long. She was born at 25weeks and is currently in St.Georges Hospital in London. She is stable, everything is in the right place and well formed, underdeveloped, but healthy. Her parents Mark (my bro) and Leanne, are INCREDIBLE and have done amazingly in the last 48hrs as they've turned their lives around to receive this gift a little, well actually A LOT earlier than expected. Katy is doing well, she's a fighter! She will remain in hospital atleast until her due date - middle of august...and really it's just about taking every day, sometimes every hours as it comes. All she needs to concentrate on is growing.

For updates please check out their blog: What Katy Did Next

Thank you for praying, and for caring. I love your support and your friendship means so much to me.

When I saw her for the first time, I was just overwhelmed by how perfectly formed she is. even at 25 weeks she has the perfectest nose and even has finger nails and toe nails!!! God really knows what he's doing when he is creating human life. And God is all over Katy, he adores her!!

By the way, I'm home for a while...but i'll update on that one later...:)
