Tired, worn out?

The road to heaven can get rocky and the burdens of everyday living often seem far too heavy for our feeble frames. On our trek toward God’s perfect future, we must occasionally stop ourselves on the path to again hear Jesus’ quiet words: “Are you tired? Worn out? Come to me. Get away with me… walk with me… watch how I do it… Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly” (Matthew 11:28-30, The Message). With this in mind, not only does the prospect of heaven enliven our days, but the journey—with Christ as Companion—becomes one of joy.

A long time

Wow! Has it really been four months since I last posted here? Time has flown by, so much has happened. We have sold our home and moved into rented, then we took a vacation to Florida, which was absolutely awesome. I’m getting ready to start studying Marine Biology. Now, we are on the move again. We are relocating to Stevenage in Herts, where Jonathan will be working with an Anglican church. He will be helping them to go on the journey we have been doing here in Bournemouth, to help them as they strive to reach people in a post modern society. To help them be church outside of the building and to “do” church 24/7. Part of me is apprehensive about going. The area seems so grey and bleak when I’m used to the beach down the road, and the New Forest a ten minute drive away. We believe that God has called us there though, it’s our “Boston” before we reach Canada. My head is spinning from all of the stuff we have to sort out in five weeks! It’s going to be a mad time. We’ve asked God for an adventure, so let’s see where this one goes. As I read once before “the best place to be is in the centre of God’s will.”
