About the Blessing

For me the problem with blogging is that I feel all I have to share is my emotional state from the previous week. And when it comes to support raising, I generally only have too states: freaking out or being amazed at what is happening. Today I actually feel quite balanced on the emotional scale, which is odd but also kind of nice. Maybe it's because I've been here 3 weeks and I'm adjusting... or maybe it's because I have no big presentations this week. I'm mostly meeting with individuals and catching up over dinner or coffee. I can do eating and drinking, that's quite alright. And I would say it's mostly meeting up with old friends and getting to hang out... but then you might think, I'm not working hard enough.

Still Panicking, Still Praying

In case you read last Friday’s return to blogging and are wondering how things went with my first presentation – they went very well. By Saturday I felt that quiet confidence again and on Sunday I actually enjoyed sharing what’s new with TWR. Since then I’ve spoken at two more groups and I have another one around the corner. There’s been plenty of answered prayer this week and I’ve even had a couple people decide to start supporting me, which was beyond my expectations at this early stage (massively encouraging!)

Powerpoint, Panic & Prayer

So the blog is back. Why? Because I am back on the road in the UK visiting my supporters and speaking at churches about my work with TWR. A year of full-time work with TWR has gone by and I am passionate enough about this ministry to stay on for another year. So it’s a good time to see people back here and share about what’s been going on - both in TWR and in my life over the past year. I’m also hoping to gain a few new supporters who will join the team that fund my salary at TWR. This is what makes it possible for me to do my job.
