oh bobbins..... time flies while checking the email!
Oh well, it is saturday after all!
So was in london again this week, rather unexpectedly, but it was good - was there just to love a friend. Realised that that is what i want my life to be about - loving people further than is normal/expected/polite or whatever haha..... it fun. hard sometimes but really fun mostly.
After london came a nasty bout of food poisoning and a day in bed, but now i am back full spring!! I am trying to get my head around all this travelling because this tuesday I am off to the shetlands, just about as far as you can go and still be in britain. I grew up there for 8 years, so it will be strange to go back, but good... returning to roots.
I am being really challenged recently by friends who look at the world with a decreasing number of barriers, in terms of boarders or restrictions to crossing each and every one. So now i am trying to look bigger than i have before, and do it in faith so that it becomes a reality and my norm. If I have such a big God why should i limit the way i see him!!!!
So places i would love to see in the next 12 months include - Israel and Canada..... maybe even brazil and another corner of africa.....
But then again i don't want to limit Him by my list - but i guess i have to start somewhere.
For now though, I will just catch a v little plane (a shoe box with wings!!) to shetland, and see where the path goes from there.

All change
so its been about a month since my last blog and it seems like so much has changed since then.
I spent 10 days in the highlands of scotland, doing some prayer work stuff with an amainzing team of people. It was lots of fun and felt like being with family. I am really looking forward to journeying with those guys some more....
London was bombed - was awful. Didn't kow what to do or say..... and then it happened again today. Suddenly so many people's everyday reality finds its way onto our streets. You would think that such a visible sign to the nation would raise questions as to why it happened, that we would be looking for answers in order to prevent it happening again. Like the link with Iraq perhaps....
but instead we just carry on, with our foreheads of flint pushing on through.
There is so much to this that confuses me, and yet it is simple in so many ways.
So, i feel like i have turned a corner with the global team etc, but it seems like the nation is turning a corner to. I only hope we respond to it with honesty, humility and love......
