As surely as the dawn

As surely as the dawn will come
as certain as the day
there's comfort for the weary
hope for all who stray.
The father holds his arms out wide
and bids the sinner come
find shelter in the storm
as certain as the day
as surely as the dawn.

As surely as the dawn will come
it was for me he died
my hands drove in the nails
my selfishness, my pride.
And though my heart is black with sin
the morning light breaks through
and hope has been reborn
for mercy comes anew
as surely as the dawn

As surely as the dawn will come
we'll rise to meet new life
redemption's price is paid
God's wrath is satisfied.
Now kindness is the air we breathe
forgiveness, grace will come
anew to us each morn
as certain as the day
as surely as the dawn.

I love the words of this song - 'shelter from the storm - as certain as the day, as surely as the dawn'. And that is what I have found. As I write my story I am again so aware of His hand guiding me through the storm, giving me joy and providing all that I needed.I am so grateful to be here able to write my story and able to be part of my families life. 

On Saturday we are going to London to see Alice in Wonderland as a ballet with Chloe and Ed to celebrate Chloe getting into South Thames. Just a few more weeks placement and  her exams to go and she will be Dr Chloe - wow! She is now placing nearly 300 jobs in order of preference and then after Easter she will know where she will be in August. It is such a long drawn out process. She has just finished her last weekend of revision courses in London - it will be nice for her to have her weekends back. It has been hard work to work all week and then be at study weekends. Although maybe it is preparing her for what is to come! 

Today I am getting bits and pieces done so that I can get on with writing this week. I am really glad it has stopped raining - we have had enough rain, snow, wind, cold, etc... time for some sunny days. Maybe next week? 

Ben has just arrived home having tried to get to school on the train. Apparently it is too icy for the trains?!!!!! They have just cancelled the next 4 trains! He has given up waiting - especially as he only had 2 lessons this morning!
