Other Great Blogs

I've recently updated the links on my blog to some other great blogs. As many of you get this blog through email I guess you don't really visit the main site, so thought I'd flag them up with you here. I do read some blogs by men too (Simon and Andy from Kerith, Sean and Craig from Reading, Steve Tibbet,) and also some "topic blogs" (Serenje, Stirred up leadership, Willow Creek) ...but these are the women that I follow!

Leading and Loving it connecting, encouraging and equipping Pastors wives and women in ministry
The Preachers Wife Thanks to Heather for this one!
Charlotte Gambill You already know I think that Charlotte's completely amazing - she's just posted a video blog with a new year message, encouraging us all to plan and prepare - it's great!
Girltalk These women (mum and 3 daughters) are so godly - practical, wise advice - always cross-centred and Jesus-focussed. Great photos too!
Shauna Niequist Bill and Lynne Hybel's daughter, author of Cold Tangerines and Bittersweet. I love her honesty and also her food descriptions!
Lynne Hybels Always thought provoking and often with an activist/worldview slant.

There are also great blogs written by others in the Kerith community; and there's loads more great stuff out there - so what are your recommendations?

"... Nobody has a perfect life - everyone else's life looks great ..but everybody has challenges. We're constantly judging our insides against everyone else's outsides " Ruthie Henshall on Woman's Hour last week So true!

Guest Blog: Esther in Indonesia

I'm delighted to welcome Esther Ross-Watson to my Blog today! She is a dearly loved member of our Kerith family. She and her late husband Michael served as missionaries for many years. Esther bravely made the decision to travel again, and she has recently returned from Indonesia. Here's her story: Whilst Michael was on his last days on earth in August 2017 he received a request from the Island of Madura, Indonesia asking us to return to the town of Pamekasen, Madura, Indonesia where we had begun our Missions work in July 1973 exactly one year after we were married. They were keen to have us see what God had been doing in the years since we’d moved on and we excitedly said ‘Yes’ we will come! Obviously that had to go on hold for a while because I didn’t feel I could, or even wanted to go alone! Anyway around March/April time 2018, I begun to feel a gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit urging me to think some more about it! It was like a feeling of wanting to know

Our Living Hope

Not sure what happens with my blog...or me writing my blog! Can't believe I've been away from it for almost two months. Oh well, no condemnation! Let's pick it up and start again :) Yesterday was a great day in Church! I was so challenged and encouraged - I love Sundays and all the different ways God shows His love and who he is to us. Natalie Jones preached at both our morning meetings in Bracknell , she gave such a good message on generosity, be sure to catch it when the podcast comes on our website, but for now, watch a summary of Natalie's preach At the 6pm meeting, we had Paul Manwaring sharing about culture : the 4 Gamechangers - again, a really challenging message to check out if you didn't get to hear it live. I wore my HOPE earrings yesterday - sometimes I deliberately choose to wear them as a practical symbol that I am choosing HOPE - that I choose Jesus, I choose trust, I choose hope. I'm so glad I did, as throughout the day I felt God speak
