Important Reminders

Sunday was my UK debut, standing in front of a congregation and attempting to coherently introduce TWR, my work and yes, well, er, the SUPPORT RAISING bit. I was on for both morning and evening services. This gave me the opportunity to dissect what I'd said that morning and give it another go later on. This was however, the least important aspect of the time I spent in this remarkable community on Sunday. The real value lay in the things I was reminded of, a few of which you'll find here: 

• I am that messy person being described during the sermon. My Father bent down to the cold, hard ground and scooped me up into his arms
• I am resilient because I am never doing or facing anything alone
• Even if I can't control any other aspect of a situation I have control over my attitude. This is good to know since... 
• ... those prejudices are still there
• 'I'm not going insane, it's growing pains; I'm not bound in chains, it's growing pains.' 

Thanks for this song Jimmy: Growing Pains There will be more to blog about this.
