As Surely as the Sun Will Rise You'll Come

One of the points I made about connecting with God, at last Saturday's Word and Worship Brunch, was that it's an easy fit for us. It should feel natural. But that in itself might mean we play down our most natural "Spiritual Pathway". I know that I so easily forget to "tune into God" when all it sometimes takes is to pop a worship song on - even when driving from A to B, or when washing up, or other "between times".

My spiritual pathways are worship, and being outdoors. And I just snatched 10 minutes between activities in my day to listen to this song You'll come - it speaks such hope, faith and truth to me! We used it as a focus when praying for REAL this week in the prayer room (btw have you seen you can now book for April and May?) and this line is one of my strong desires and prayers for the women who will be coming to REAL: "Chains be broken! Lives be healed! Eyes be opened as Christ is revealed"

Amen, He will come

"As surely as the sun will rise you'll come to us, certain as the dawn appears"

So what about you? How are you getting on with experimenting and exploring the spiritual pathways this week? What have you tried?

Bless you as you listen to the song too, and pray it over your life and also those close to you and on your heart.

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
