week 2:

this week seems to have gone so fast and yet so much has happened at the same time thats its hard to believe its been fitted into only 7 days!

its been really nice to get stuck into a regular schedule. I’m up around 6 every morning (i know its hard to believe) and we start into the day at 8am and its usually pretty packed right through.

Its been a pretty tough week for me in many ways and yet it is so hard to express how. it seems to be a real time of transition and change inwardly.
I think in a way some of the thought processes i have had for a long time are being challenged and i need to work through the elements of that. it is a good thing to be faced with challenges though sometimes it can be a overwhelming experience and at times uncomfortable. However if things are always comfortable i dont think i would ever be pushed to the next level in anything. it is a good thing to be stretched even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time!

we have had really good teaching every afternoon this week and then we get to spend the mornings in the prayer room. during this time i have the opportunity to talk with God about a lot of the stuff He is revealing, as well as taking time to read the Bible and pray for this nation of New Zealand. It’s a real blessing to have this time and space to process things as so often we are bombarded by a lot of information and have no time to really figure out what it all means.

Its been good to get to know people better this week and grow as a group and be on this journey together.

I guess the other big news is that i am going to be working in the Middle East for 2 months! This is an unexpected turn for me as i had hoped to spend some time in South East Asia but i think it the right place for me to be going and I’m excited to see what will happen there!
