wow, what a month already!!
You know I totally take God for granted sometimes and then a month like this happens and you go wow!!How great is our God!!
Im sorry but there is no other God like this, a God who can sustain you through major illness whilst doing holiday clubs, a God who gives you the words to speak when you are so tired all you want to do is curl up, a God who cares and provides for you and gives you hope when you think - how on earth am I going to get out of this one!
Let me start at the beginning....

The 20th March saw my new niece come into the world, this is her at 3 weeks, isnt she gorgeous! Here is my bro and his family, cant get over saying that sentence, he's so grown up!!
Seeing a new life puts everything into perspective!




We had our holiday club, it was my first one that I had run by myself and always wonder if I was trusted a bit more at NM would this kinda stuff be easier but through our weaknesses and uncertainties God shines out, and he totally did during this week. I was exhusted with throat, ear and goodness knows what other infections, and had to make 8am meetings and organising this holiday club. Together we put a holiday club together from scratch, I think its actually easier doing it this way but its exhusting!!
Anyway Monday was a killer, but we got through it. I was drugged up and had stashes of tissues all over the place incase I needed them, and I can honestly say I have never had more fun - yes it was stressful but the team were awesome. They really pulled together and we had 90kids in each day and had 30 leaders ranging from 12-60+ it was fab!! Our theme was pirates - check it out...


Easter was great in a way but I was in the emergency doctors for easter sun!haha, oh well. My body was saying, enough is enough, still getting over it but Im more or less back to health.

Yesterday was a full on day but one I thoroughly enjoyed! And again was quite shattered after and still had the older group to go. I had done some prep but just wanted to flop, wasnt ready for a flat full of young people - we were going through the last chapters of ecclesiastes, and wondered where will this takes us!
The study didnt need much leading from me, they began to answer each others questions and interpreations, and they got some fantastic practical applications. We looked at guidence and what discernment is all about etc. It wasnt until prayer time that some thing dawned on me. I have leeaders, visionaries, super gifted worship leaders in my flat and I began crying!! Ah, me crying!! They were praying such wonderful prayers to God and these are truely women of God and my prayer is that they hold tightly on to him as we have had a few drifters recently.
Here are some of them - they make me laugh so much, they are fab!!

And lastly today...got a whoohaa from my car, got to have it fixed, like totally repaired, clutch, brakes, lights, wheels, MOT and tax Ahhhhhhhhgh! I said to myself coming into the office, Im off to rome next week and I have no money to pay for this,or to pay for anything at the mo! its gonna be messy!!Found an envelope on my desk with £300 cash in it?!Saying from St Marys church family - treat yourself! WOW, so im off to convert some of it into euros!And the rest can be put towards my car. And that has been my month!!

Today im off, so was gonna brave the public transport and head into MK maybe see a film then I have coffee with a friend, and time to start packing for Rome!!
Remember when things get you down keep on going because He is our sustainer, provider, carer, our strength and guide :)
