An amazing night tonight!!!

Tonight El and I discussed about her coming to attend the Student Welcome on 30th Sept and staying the evening. We didn't think anything would happen: that El would ask, that her mum would say it's ok to go. But guess what? It happened!!!

During the phone call I sought advice from mum about what we should do etc. Mum advised to pray before doing anything, before asking. Mum prayed for El and her mum came home so El could ask her. El was nervous and so was I, but she asked anyway.

She explained that it was a church student welcome happening on Friday 30th Sept in Glasgow and she'd like to go - and it would involve her staying over. Her mum just said it was ok as long as El didn't have to work. Whoo-hoo! Amazing Grace!! God has softened El's mum's heart and she said it was ok for her to stay in Glasgow! So mum and I prayed straight away to give thanks to our gracious Heavenly Father.

The only issues we have left now are: what time El finishes uni on the Friday? What time I finish work on the Friday? Will I have time to pick Jessie up? Will Ellen enjoy herself? Will Cat be ok about any 'noise' we might make when we get home? Will El be allowed to come down to Glasgow for Christmas and/ or New Year?

N.B. (HoLam and Diana's wedding on Sat 24th Sept 05, El came down and return on the same day and I went up to Aberdeen with her.)

Just realised as I was praying before sleeping that I haven't had one day of absence since I worked at Capital BBC Information. Although I have been late for work a few times, even called up to find out if I was absent, which were not my fault, I have had 100% attendance and I thank God for the good health.

There are/ were time when the symptoms of a cold or illness would appear. But thank God, after Beechams, water and prayer, my symptoms were not allowed to develop. =)

Let's hope the same could happen with this new job =)
