The final chapter

Right heres the last bit i'm going to do it bullet point style as to speed it up :-)

Brightlingsea Baptist in July- Great morning doing a presentation for sponsorship. Best bits -lots of old people giving us young uns a run for our money when they started joining in with our dance moves!! Although I think it was a bit loud for them lol. Extra info - My old uni friend's parents in law go there Mr & Mrs Carter, Mr Carter is very ill with a heart problem so pray for that would be good. Also pray for my friend Sharon and her husband Joe that they would find their way into the Kingsland family.

Interview for Trinidad & Tobago Radio - Yes you did read right!!!  This was done by Rhonda who was over working with St Lukes and we met at the beginning of the year doing the Gilberd mission. Best bits - All of it cause it was so much fun especially making up stupids jingles too :-)

Bens Leaving Do- Totally gutted cause my best male pal has jumped the CYO ship and headed back to Frinton to do plumbing. Best Bits - All the time in the office having a laugh - When you spend all day with girls you realise how wise God was when he created the male species!!

Tiptree Sports Week - Yeah I loved this week as we got to work with the guys from the tiptree congregation. We did dance workshops & I ran 5hrs arghh!!!!! of drama workshops & a concert. Best bits - Meeting up with the kids we had seen last year when we did the gig on the back of the dodgy lorry lol. Building up more relationships with them and chatting so openly about our faith. Hearing testimony of how Kids were realising God loved them. Seeing people pretending to be seals,dogs, lion, & stick insects ;-) Oh and not forgetting that I finally got to met the beautiful and very gifted Amy who was the awe inspiring blogger out in canada on this Kingsland site!!

HOLIDAY!!! - Went on mission to Haverhill & Konigsbrunn in Germany aka going to see my Nan & Grandad, Dad, little bro and step mum all hard nut atheists!! 

Background info - My nan & grandad think the bible is like Mein Kampf and are gigs are like Hitlers Rallies & my nan is also a true scientist so the Bible is a load of lies. A few prayer points there :-)  My dad used to go to church decades ago but is hard to talk to, quite sarcastic and struggles to say the word love. My step mum is totally stressed by the kids who are a bit like teenagers from hell when they get going, and my younger bro is struggling in school and spends all day on the computer in the dark.   So as you can see a lot of pray went on before I left Colchester!!! 

However while not all things are sorted over night or even i three weeks God was totally amazing. Before I went away I was told God had given me a reconciliaratory ( is that actually a word!!) spirit. Well it came in quite useful. While my nan & grandad did get fired up as usual at least they both admitted that they felt there was more to life then just this existence on earth. With Gods help I was able to encourage and bless my dad & Janine (my step mum) & i'm sure I saw more loving signs from my father which was amazing. The best bit however was going to a church over there and meeting some great people. I'm going back over for christmas so i'm hoping to hook my family up with this church some how!!! 

Thomas was my greatest delight I love him so much. We spent so much time chatting about God and he loved having evening prayers. The best bit was when he said he had already prayed the pray to be a Christian several times cause he wasn't sure if it had worked :-) He didn't want anyone to know (from reading the above you can see why!!!) and he has said he will come to the church with me at Christmas!! How amazing is that!! Please pray for all my family, I'm so excited to see how God is moving I know he can transform them like he did me it's just a matter of time:-)

Oh and thanks for all your prayers for my back (which i put out canoeing) - although God was great cause he healed me enough to do a bungey ball (a contraption that shoots you up in the air at a rate of knots) & a paraglide off a 1750ft mountain in the alps!!!!!

Well that takes you up to the end of Aug, oh apart from visiting my beautiful little sister (who is up the duff again hurrah!!) & gorgeous baby niece Lucy-Mai & surviving a non christian pub crawl (aka The Hen Night in York) which is another novel in itself :-) Hope reading all this didn't take too many hrs out of your day.

Love U All Loads xxxxxxxxxxx
