Back and Blessed!
Housesitting was one of the best experiences ever!Apart from the crazy cat, who was affectionate but also just pretty much psycho at times, living out of home for a month in a flat in Lane Cove was just the best way to keep my life on track and moving forward - pretty much i got a taste of the independance and freedom ive been craving - and grabbed it by both horns and rode it home baby!
Alas this means now i am home again it will be a bit of a struggle, but i am truely thankful for the way even such a brief experience can strengthen and grow me!
Meanwhile, speaking of growth, the Bible study im apart of this year finally got to have our weekend away toward the end of May - and it was awesome! Singstar, chai lattes overlooking the valley, wanders through funky mountains shops, a look at what the Bible says about spiritual gifts, consuming lots of food, gazing at the amazing book collection in the house we stayed in, and a walk by the three sisters. Not bad! Its great how a weekend together just chillaxing and taking time out of crazy sydney and the life that follows can really grow a group! It was just a great weekend of getting to know each other and overcoming any akwardness which still got in the way of having a completely honest and comfortable Bible study. So Praise God for that!Plus, it was just sooo good to have a break!! While I love every week of my ministry at Artarmon and the joys and challlenges that accompany it, i have realised that taking a break occassionally actually strengthens that ministry rather than displaying weakness - i came back feeling so refreshed and pumped to get back into it!
Anywho, Im going to go read what Bonhoffer has to say about Disappointment (in 'The Consolations of Theology'), so i will leave you with some pics from the weekend away and return shortly to let you know what i discover....
