The Peace Of God & The Blessing Of The Church Family

Sunday was especially blessed for me, as not only did i get to drum with the worship team, but i was asked to play a reflective song on guitar with my lovely wife Sarah on flute & Sara (the voice) singing. I chose the song โ€œIn Your Handsโ€ by Unspoken (see video below) and shared a little about worry, and how we need to trustGod and ย have more confidence in this promise to let his peace, the peace thatโ€™s beyond all understanding to guard our hearts and minds, as we offer everything (not some things) in prayer.ย 

After the service a group of us went down to the coast at Littlehampton and had a great day walking along the beach after eating chips then doughnuts! It was fantastic spending time with sisters & brothers and i felt truly blessed! ๐Ÿ™‚ย

In Your Hands Lyrics

The dawn is breaking and I can hear Your whisper in the breezeโ€จThe world is waking and I am here to meet You on my kneesโ€จWhen I’m with You my soul finds restโ€จCause I can leave it in Your hands

โ€จThe day keeps coming pulling me a different million waysโ€จI’m always running but never seem to catch the things I chaseโ€จWhen I’m with You my soul finds restโ€จCause I can leave it in Your handsโ€จ

(Chorus)โ€จ Every sorrow, I leave it in Your handsโ€จEvery sickness, I leave it in Your handsโ€จAll my failures, I leave them in Your handsโ€จAmen, I leave it in Your handsโ€จโ€จ

So I am laying the weight of all these burdens at Your feetโ€จNo more waiting, cause You’ve already won my victoriesโ€จIn Jesus my soul finds restโ€จCause I can leave it in Your handsโ€จ

(Chorus 2)โ€จ Every promise, I leave it in Your handsโ€จEvery healing, I leave it in Your handsโ€จAnd my future, I leave it in Your handsโ€จAmen, I can leave it in Your handsโ€จ

(Bridge )โ€จIt’s Your hands that form the mountainsโ€จYour hands set boundaries for the seasโ€จAnd in Your hands You hold tomorrowโ€จThe same hands that took the nails for meโ€จ

(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)

After travelling up to Derby and spending the day with โ€œOur Friends The Wigley Familyโ€ย ย Sunday came and we woke up to a lovely view over Derby.

Little did we know that the Tour de France was in Yorkshire on this day, but to our surprise the reservations were overloaded and the train was full so we got upgraded to first class (for free) which was empty! ๐Ÿ™‚

We arrived in Doncaster for Marshallโ€™s birthday dinner at Cosmoโ€™s where we met all of the family. We had a lovely meal and it was great to catch up with them all! ๐Ÿ™‚

After arriving back in Derby that evening, Sarah & i went to our fave italian Zizziโ€™s for a lovely meal. I also got to have the lovely chocolate, banana & ice cream calzone, which Sarah stole most of! ๐Ÿ™‚ย
