Hold on



Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Hold on tightly to your hope in Jesus. This may be a daily or hourly choice to trust God with your today, to live in this moment, not fearful of the future. Choose what you spend your time thinking about today and who you will choose to listen to, so that you don’t lose hope.

What God has promised, He will do. He is faithful, He won’t change His mind.

Look back at what God has already done in your life and the lives of those around you. Remembering his faithfulness will help you to believe that God can do it again; this song is a great way to do that - Do it again by Elevation Worship https://youtu.be/0B_lnQIITxU

If you have come through difficult circumstances and experienced God’s faithfulness, then ask God to show you how you can use your experiences to encourage others and build their faith (2 Corinthians 1:4). What could be your first step today?

At REAL we'll hear stories of hope from women in our community. Pray that God will speak to you through their stories.

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

3 Little Bottles

Thought I'd mix it up today and do something lighthearted here. I popped into town this morning (as an aside, anyone else still incredulous that "new Bracknell / The Lexicon is so great and that it's really here to stay?!)  Anyhow, I popped into town for a quick wander and bought 3 "essentials" I'd run out of, so I thought I'd share them with you - and of course I'd love to hear about your 3 recent essential purchases. 1 Contact lense solution I've worn glasses since Secondary school, and contact lenses since I left Uni. Gas permeables - great for me - slightly perilous in swimming pools / the sea / other people's sinks (£80 to replace). They work for me - and so a couple of bottles of solution each month keep me going.I ran out a couple of days ago, so it was £4.70 well spent for clean lenses and clear eyesight. 2. "Buffet" by The Ordinary This was a new one for me, a present I received last Christmas. I LOVE it and can
