Three Things: A Season Of Change #2

1- A few Sunday's back we went straight from our churches to sunny Cornwall and spent the day with my mum's wonderful, wise, gentle and shining best friend. For some ridiculous reason, the weather decided to be superb. So we took all our troubles and blessings to the beach.
Last week was a difficult week for me. A week that I had never experienced until now. But something I've only just learnt about hard weeks is that healing is a sad but beautiful process. As I look around and see different people in my life dealing with their own battles, I somehow see Jesus beneath it all. I see him filling up every hole, every vessel, every nerve with something so valuable and overflowing; his love. And somehow my love for Him never seems to die down, it just shines through me. I want every simple thing to be the thing that gives me joy. Every blessing. Every moment.

2-  Where the doors are moaning all day long,

Where the stairs are leaning dusk 'till dawn,

Where the windows are breathing in the light,

Where the rooms are a collection of our lives,

This is a place where I don't feel alone

This is a place that I call my home....

This is a place that I call my home ....

This month marks the 20th anniversary of living in our home. This house has been and continues to be the most wonderful, cherished, safest, important home and a home I will go on to create for my own family. I thank God for every blessing, every memory and every moment in these four walls with four people that seem to be everything right in the world.

3- In just a few days time we leave for Moldova to work amongst the adults and children there. As I looked around the room on Sunday afternoon during our get-together, stood amongst small children, wives, husbands, parents and teenagers, I felt an overwhelming sense of disbelief at the thought of being chosen to do missionary work with such committed and beautiful people with such committed and beautiful families supporting them every step of the way. The words 'I'm not yet sure' and 'we'll see' being echoed around the room throughout the afternoon, because none of us have any idea how the 2 weeks will fall in to place and yet the one thing every single one of us have is a faith in God. We have a trust in our Saviour who continues to bless us in ways unimaginable. So, my next blog will be after this adventure working for a powerful and incredible God. I can't wait to see what he has planned for us! Your prayers and support will be greatly appreciated.
