Two very exciting opportunities (for career development) have come up. One I've been interviewed for and one I've been headhunted for. Both, in theory, could work alongside my full-time job (which I love).
Prayers for wisdom in how to move forward would be much appreciated!

Thank you for your prayers!
In Sept, I will be starting as a Formation Tutor for Ridley Hall (practical theology with a focus on reflective methodology)
I'm also going to be joining the UK Scouts International Events Medical Panel
And both roles will work alongside my current job. I am chuffed!

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies.

We are now 20 weeks (eeek half way!)
We are both doing really well
My body shape is currently: egg
We've had 6 scans & I've cried every single time
Little one is very active
I no longer throw up when I move
I have never been happier or more grateful

Stopping by to say we had our dating scan today and all is well! A very wriggly baby, a strong heartbeat, and currently measuring at 12w5d.
We've still got a long way to go and there are times it all still feels scary. But we also have so much hope! Thank you for all your prayers for the 3 of us 💛

This is a genuine shame. Timpson was a rare example of an “industry expert” parachuted into government that was rooted in genuine expertise and integrity. With a prison brief burdened by cost cutting and punishment rather than investment and rehabilitation, Timpson feels a particular loss.
The day’s first casualty: James Timpson resigns as prisons minister. This is a big surprise! Timpson had a long history as a prisons reformer before entering government and seen as one of Starmer’s more innovative & exciting appointments. He’s also delivered a big change programme in gov. So: why?
Prisons minister Lord Timpson quits government
The businessman said it was an "honour" to serve in the post, but the BBC understands he feels he has achieved all he can in the role.

WE HAVE A STRONG AND HAPPY HEART BEAT!!!!!
We both shrieked with joy and sobbed. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen! Our next scan is in just over 2wks time (continued prayers would mean the world).

A successful pregnancy & a live birth (& a living me!) is what we desire most. Peace, joy & comfort throughout would be a very welcomed addition
I'll give an update next Fri after our first scan (when I'll be 7 1/2 weeks). For now - I'm very thankful that right now, we have another chance at this 💛

A persistent and tiresome joke of a candidate, constantly running unsuccessfully in elections to the annoyance of everyone, versus some guy with a bin on his head.
The prospect of Nigel Farage fighting a people vs the establishment by-election in which the only other candidate is Count Binface - is too hilarious for words.

Some (big) life updates:
A few weeks ago it came to light that I meet the criteria for Antiphosphilipid Syndrome (APS). I'm yet to receive a formal diagnosis but it's likely APS is the reason behind our 3 miscarriages
Two days after getting this news, we found out I'm pregnant again

Please pray, friends. I have some uncertain health stuff going on which has left our heads spinning. Calling the hospital tomorrow for (hopefully) some clarity and (if needed) a plan for treatment. Prayers for a miracle, for smooth next steps and for strength would be very appreciated 💛

Having to travel 1hr on public transport (no air-con) to spend the day sitting with our whole directorate in a poorly ventilated room (also with no air-con) for a conference where the keynote speech is about supporting students' wellbeing feels painfully ironic.

It's not really a beer festival in a rural British pub unless a stranger accidentally spills their drink on you and whilst then chatting, you discover the most tenuous thing in common prompting them to ask "I don't suppose you know ____" only to find out you in fact do.

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

Very important now for all of us who work with young people to make it very clear to them that they can still come to us about things they see online that scare or concern them, even if it's something they are banned from accessing, and we won't be angry with them.

'Pulling an Alice' either means becoming very excited and talking at length when someone politely asks about a niche subject of interest or cooking enough food for the entire neighbourhood when having people over for dinner
