Due to being slack I have not managed to make progress on this new blog site until now, so I have taken the last two posts and brought them over.
God Rocks
Last night James and I attended the first of a few sessions with John & Jenny Peters (St Marys, Branyston Sq, London) at church. I had high hopes and I wasn't disappointed. John spoke on Zephania (affectionately refered to as Zephy), the teaching was pretty hard, but at the same time good. It was clear that the God wanted to speak to us and we saw and felt the spirit move - it was awesome. I am still processing what I heard and I think that there will be more to come over the next week as we get more opportunities to meet while J&J are here. I am excited and scared and challenged. I love it! Once again confirmation that we have found our church home.

It's oh so quiet
Okay, so when my Mum emails me to comment that the blog has not been updated I realise that I have been remiss and I need to do something about that. I have not had any time to work on my new blog site, but hope to get to that this weekend - or over Easter - how did that creep up on us so quickly.
Life here continues to be hectic and we are loving it. Our commitment to St Pauls has grown more and more, I guess because we just love what God is doing there and everyone is so welcoming. This has included being Leaders on a Life Course (like Alpha) and that meant that the weekend before last we were away in Waitomo (oh don't forget to mention the glow worms), a GirlZone Day (I know, I know, I don't do women's stuff - but it was the best girls event I have ever been to - more on that another time maybe), housegroup, and being signed up for the School of Theology.
James' business just goes from strength to strength and it is likely that by June they will move into office space in the CBD.
My job continues to be not great, but bearable, I have the focus on the trip to the UK and then things have to change.
A couple of cool things we have got up to as a couple include buying a new car for me - Legacy GT 2002 - all the boys out there know that is cool! It has now become OUR car.
I got a new pair of glasses - hurrah!
We went to see Bic Runga play an outside gig for her new album Birds, at the foot of Mount Eden in Auckland - just stunning with a couple of fabulous support bands.
So we are now planning for Easter and the arrival of the Wroe's - yippee. The weather is turning, we had the tail end of cyclone last week which is always interesting, and the leaves are falling.
We fly to the UK three months tomorrow, dreaming of summer evenings in a pub garden looking at the English countryside - Midsummer Murders style.
Really life is very exciting and we are very happy.
