Fun & Games

Hi all

I thought I better fill you in the last few months fun & frolics because there have been quite a few :-) September kicked off in true Kat style by a clumsy accident that resulted in some badly torn ligaments which left me on crutches for three weeks and unable to perform for the last two months :-(  Thankfully God had timed everything to perfection as our diaries have been much quieter as it is the beginning of the new school year so I was able to rest up. However as you can see by the pictures whenever I do something I do it in real style.

When I had the accident ( caused by a very dangerous dance move aptly named the "star jump" don't try it home unless you are a trained professional!!) I was at my mates Charity do with an 80s theme, hence the lovely outfits. Me and the girls had decided to go as the cast of "Fame" and I loved the fact as I got to don my luminous pink tights. I believe of all the nights to get wheeled into A&E singing Agadoo at the top of your voice because you've had half an hour of getting legally high on Gas and Air this was defiantly the one!!! Needless to say we caused quite a stir and yes that is the beautiful Lorraine dressed in the black and red as Madonna!!

God has definitely taught me patience through this experience but please pray for a complete healing because I still walk like a gangster ( with a limp) and can't perform all the songs in our concerts. It's still quite painful and i haven't got full rotation which is starting to bug me, also I'm car less at the mo so it means lots of walking for public transport which is aggravating it more. Please pray God will sort out a car for me as four girls and only one mode of transport is getting a bit difficult.

Our schools missions in Ipswich went really well. These were small taster things for the schools (Thurleston & Claydon) and were really about building relationships with the staff so we can come back next year and do a full schools week. We are going back in next week for assemblies and a lunchtime concert in Claydon, as on Sat 18th we are performing at "Platform" in Ipswich so prayer that the right amount of kids will get to the event. Not too many as it is only a small venue but God's perfect number
so the kids that already go don't feel threatened and that they all fit in !! I'm also going to be doing a God Slot on Esther so pray that God will tell me what to say.

I've just finished a schools week with TCC in southend which was amazing. We were in the Deanes school doing mainly music lessons. Again it has built great relationships with the pupils and staff for future missions but also blasted a huge hole in the distorted view that kids have of Christians. The concert was amazing and 50 kids responded to becoming Christians. Over 25 of those made commitments which is so exciting but obviously we want disciples so we will wait and see how many of those come to the follow up events this week. The events are tomorrow evening and on sat night so please pray they will come.

Ooo yes we have also had the wonderful Laura down with us this week. Laura is the new girl who will be replacing Jayne in Jan. We are looking for a new host home for her somewhere in the St Johns area so if you know anyone please could you let me know. Please pray that laura will feel at home in Colchester and that team unity will be protected in this time of change.

Oh yeah the CYO celebration at St Botolphs was amazing. If you weren't there why not ?  The worship was electric and really brought some Christians in to a new relationship with God when they saw how the young people worshipped which is so exciting. God really moved that night and I feel so privileged that He used little old me to impart some of his Love to the congregation. I've never been so nervous before you would think with all the performing I would take it in my stride but I was holding on to that stand for dear life so my legs would stop shaking!!! I've been so touched to see how God has spoken into peoples lives through it and really astounded to see how much God has transformed my own life in such a short space of time since being a Christian.

God has really been speaking to me not only about the importance of Gods love as our Abba, our daddy but also the role of fathers in general, thats what my talk was about. I think feminism has a lot to answer for in todays fatherless generation, as all the males are losing their rightful roles ordained to them by God. Don't get me wrong I'm one headstrong female but men need to be the men God created them to be. I love the fact that God has made me his royal daughter, a princess, his beauty, that there is nothing wrong in me being a woman with desires and dreams because that is how he ordained us women too.  We are all royal princes and princesses part of Gods great kingdom, a kingdom full of great adventures. I love it, it makes me so excited to be part of his family!!!   

Anyway hope you are all being blessed, I'm missing you all so much when I'm away.
