I have done it, I got through my PGCE and I am now a Newly Qualified Teacher!!

I am now back home in York which is lovely and it will make sorting wedding stuff out in the next few weeks easier. It was strange to leave Lincoln yesterday. Although I have only been there a year, it was a home for a year and I will have loads of good memories from living there for the last year.

We went to church this morning, to hear our Banns of Marriage being read for the first time. Hearing them being read out in the church made the wedding seem even closer and more real!

One of the songs we sang in church today had the lyrics ‘…What a faithful God have I…’ and listening to the words made me think about how true that really is. This past year has been really mixed, some times when I have really not enjoyed the course and found it really hard and other times when it has been very fun and exciting. Through all the experiences of the past year one thing I know is that God has been faithful and things have worked out when they have needed to.

I’ll be taking the words of that song into the next days and weeks too. There is still a lot we need to get sorted - jobs, a house and various wedding stuff, but I know things will work out just as they are meant to and everything will be alright in the end!

For the next few weeks I’ll be in between here and Lincoln sorting various things out, and then it will be New Wine and I really hope it won’t rain as much as it has done this weekend!

Its only 48 days to go now till the wedding!!!! I can remember when I wrote on here that it was 100 days to go and that has gone sooo quick so i’m sure the next 6 weeks will speed by too!!
