A still quiet morning - outside my window I can see the changing colours of Autumn and hear a songbird calling. It is very peaceful as I sit here and type. So much to be thankful for. 

Unexpected change of plans today so I am going to use the day to catch up on 'stuff'. I have had more changes in tablets and by taking one in the evening instead of the morning this seems to have made a huge difference. I am more clear headed in the mornings which is lovely instead of starting the day in a fog - I end it in one! Hopefully I will have 2 weeks of stable tablets until I see the renal team and they will probably change it again! Maybe it will be sorted by Christmas - that will be nearly 4 months of 'faffing' with tablets. We shall see. 

This evening we are going to Reading Town Hall to see the Inter-house music competition. I am so looking forward to it. Ben is singing and playing his trombone. I will really miss going to his concerts when he finishes school. Thankfully we have another year after this - all being well! 

Today I read Isaiah 45:3 I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
How wonderful to know that God stores treasure for us stored in secret places for us to find when we go through dark times so that we will know that he is God. Isn't that our experience that it is in the dark places that we reach out for his hand and find him there. And in those dark places that is when he calls us by our names - he knows us individually by name how amazing is that. We should be on the lookout for those treasures when we are in the dark times.
