Well last week was gloryously exhusting.
I haad the honour and privaldge of taking hte gospel on to the streets of worcester with the team from whitestone (one of the other houses in coventry)
I have held this vision for work in worcster in my heart for 15 years so it was with gret joy that i joined the team for a few days. Why was worcester buring in my heart
well partly because I grew up near there but also becasue i know the need there for God, But i guess one can say that about every town and city in evry country of the world.
I was deeply challenged by the need there and htere was one person that I had the privaldge to meet that really got in to my heart and i hope that we made some kind of impact on her and i desperately hope that she gets in contact again one day and that she to experinces the freedom that I have found.
I got home exhusted every night knowing that there was another day ahead but God poured grace adn favour on us and as the week moved on into teh weekend I found my spirit soared and my natural strength ebbed but I have come home a changed p[erson with a knowing needed to seek God for my own walk but to encorperate others in the faith that I have found
On returing home I knew that i was due to have a conversation with my household leaders as to when I can move in at house family breakfast on sunday there were hints that I would be asked to wait and how was I going to cope with that I ache to live in community and to give up all that holds me back but God in his love for me prepared me through the day so that when we did get together I was able to take on board the answer to wait and to take in why but I now have a frame work and I am clear as to why and that we have work to do so that when we move in we are not crushed and in view of the fact that we are going to be staying 4 nights a week and all school holidays i guess tht is going to be a real trainig ground I am part of the team andwe work as a team adn I am building for eternity and I know that by june we will be doing this full time
in the mean time promise might have a common purse issue with having to buy new doors coz i keep bashing em down in my entusiasm to be here doing the business full time

Dee, I have only just discovered your blog. It was excellent having you with us in Worcester.
On the promise doors issue, if you go by James' statement about "a true disciple when the door is slammed in their face will climb in through the window" you might want to smash their windows instead :-D
