Friends

susan, avril and I up the galtee mountains 

I was in Limerick last Sunday sharing about my work in a church there called Mallow street Christian fellowship, and as the weather had been so nice recently I thought I would camp in the glen of Aherlow in County Tipperary on my way back on Sunday night. I was arranging to meet my friend Avril in Limerick for a coffee as she lives just an hour from there and I don't see her often, but as we were arranging when and where to meet via text it came to light she was going to the glen of aherlow on sunday as well to stay in a hotel with another mutual friend, Susan, and so they arranged for me to be able to stay with them in the hotel and we had a great night of fun and laughs together and I didn't need to camp outside in the cold!!  It was another reminder to me that God looks after all our needs!

The Dentist and an answer to prayer

I don't know if you remember but in June/July I had a bad tooth and needed a root canal and a crown, this was going to be VERY expensive so I got the root canal done here in Tramore and I was going to get the crown in the north in Novemeber. In the last couple of weeks I was in contact with my dentist here in Tramore to get an x-ray I needed to bring up north with me, the dentist phoned me back to say sorry I hadn't received the x-ray yet but also that she could offer me the crown at a reduced rate as she had been given some vouchers from suppliers and so the reduced price will be about the same as if I go north, it is still very expensive but I wont have to travel up and down to the north to get the work done!! Thanks for your prayers about my tooth and thanks to God for this answer to prayer!! I have NEVER heard of a dentist reducing the cost by so much before!

Holidays

I was away on my summer holidays (in the north of Ireland) with my mum for a couple of weeks from the end of Aug, it was good to get away but mum and I were both sick and so we didn't do a lot when we were away
