Long week

This has been one of those long weeks. It started on Monday. Most of the summer I have had a funding bid to do but it is really hard to crunch numbers when your kids are on holiday and squabbling. Monday ended with me having to go to a community group meeting at night. I am a director of the organisation so I wanted to be kept up to date with progess.
Tuesday was Knockhill.....I chance for me to see to see my sister fulfil a dream.....followed by a very LOONGG church meeting where I got locked in the car park and had to exit via the pavement or pay a call out fee.....can't afford a call out fee, so pavement it was.

Wednesday and Thursday hubby was out late and I had kids challenging bed time....someone from worship band phoned to see if Phil would do the evening service....as well as the 2 morning ones on Sunday......I think I know the answer to that!
Thursday I had Douglas getting woken and scared so bed was 2am....

Friday exhausted and sleep deprived. ..When the kids were in bed a nice glass of wine and watching slumdog millionaire took my mind off my injured arm

What a week!

Change, change, change

I can hardly believe it is nearly 4 years since Ywam Stirling was pioneered. This June saw our first founding member leave. Within 6 months another is about to leave....so what next?

I feel God has placed me in YWAM for a reason. I feel that my community work knowledge can be of use to them in this next season of their life.

At times though I feel way under skilled and isolated. I think this next year is a birth of new developments.... I mixture of me developing my skill, and learning.

This would mean both delivering and writing training for others. Whilst investing in training for me. Please pray that I would have wisdom in this next few weeks.

I am also currently having another bash at getting funding for helping in this. Please pray for God's direction and wisdom.

summer hols ending

Well 7 weeks of holidays seemed liked a long time a few weeks ago.

We have seen Lazytown show
had tennis and swim lessons
gone to CLAN and stayed in a caravan
gone to the beach
had BBQ's (at least 3)
been out on the bikes
played in parks
gone swimming
done the holiday club
to name but a few things....

Mum at least will be able to do a bit more work once the school is back and we settle into routine again. We have had a fun holiday though and the kids are precious and this time is precious.
