Hiya everyone!
So yesterday was simply mad. Started off at half-nine at Pete and Kath's filling up water balloons. Stayed there (only with a short break for lunch) until nearly 7 for It's a Knockout. I think about 100 people showed up to play all these crazy games and have such a great, fun time with the group. I was on a team with the older girls, which was simply lush. I had Abi, Martha, Rosie, Nonny, and Hannah on my team with Raf and another mom named Christi (who was super fun). It was so lush just playing with the girls the whole time. I'm going to nab some pictures off facebook and put them up later. Right now, just take my word on it. Even though we came in 3rd place, we had such a blast.
That night Nonny, Rosie, and I went over to Maria's house to see her new puppies! Her Border collie had puppies a few weeks ago, so we went to go hold and play with these adorable little puppies. They're eyes were just beginning to open, so it was just so cute! I absolutely loved it.
Then we hung around the house and had a good time until bed which I went to early because I was so exhausted.
This morning began with Rhydyfelin. I got to see the Team from Greenville ARP and even got to eat lunch with Garison at Brian and Elizabeth's. For some reason being with Garrison really made me miss my brother, John. Thankfully I get to see him soon, but it really did make me miss him.
Afterward was a group meeting with the Team about their holiday club in Rhydyfelin. Part of me really was gutted that I wouldn't be working much with them this week. Their laughs, their joy, it makes me desire to be a part of their group. However, they are needed in Rhydyfelin, and I am needed in Gateway. God has such an amazing week in store for both of us. Please pray hard for both churches, that God will be guiding us through this entire week!
Pray also for the Jerusalem church, the one which Dottie is in charge of. An American team was supposed to go to that church; however, they didn't get visas before they came over, and the UK Border Agency sent them home. It's very sad for everyone, so please pray for that church. I can't even imagine the turmoil of not having that support come through. Ah.
Then tonight we had this huge pizza party here at Claire's. There were SO MANY people! It felt like Christmas in my house! I got to talk to all sorts of people and help out with the food. I love being a helper. So it was just a wonderful time of socializing and resting before the week begins! Tonight ended with a 4 hour chat with Rosie (and the others wandered in from time to time) about God, beliefs, the Bible, and all sorts of stuff. She is so keen to learn and to know more. I wish I had more time with her to talk about all this stuff. I feel like there is no woman close enough to her age to properly disciple her in these matters. Pray that God might supply her with a need for the Word and a woman for her to talk to. She is a wonderful young lady, and it is my hope that she will grow and be as strong woman of God.
Pray for me that I will rest well. So many more things are importaner than sleep and food, so as it rounds 2 am, please pray that God will grant me supernatural sleep and that I will rest so well and be ready for tomorrow's long day of Holiday Club. I think I will be joining the Team for their afternoon sport's day, so I definitely need good rest. Pray also that I would make myself less and lift up God, focus on him, and not distort the gospel. And that I would also allow the Holy Spirit to work in me and through me this week, that I might snatch some out of the fire and save them.
Thank you for your prayers and support. Don't expect much out of me as for blogging n' such. It'll be a long week. (Also, Bobby is sleeping in the school, so he probably won't be posting much either.) I appreciate you all. God Bless.
Ta-ta!
