A very exciting few weeks.

1. Impact training at Centerparcs- mentioned in the last blog. Which included a lot of laughing, girly chats until 2am, knitting, a frozen lake, and some squirrels. But even better: encountering the presence of God in a new way, being 'set free' from 'everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.' (Hebrews 12:1) spending a week worshipping him and being filled with his Holy Spirit, and experiencing for myself what the smile of the Father is. Incredible, incredible, incredible!

2. Moving home. I'll admit that the first few days were very wobbly in a I-don't-like-living-alone sort of way. But after pushing through I've found out that I love having my own space, I love making it into a home (and searching out things like butter dishes and sugar pots), and I absolutely love being in the centre of Newquay. Here are some dodgy pictures, I had to try and balance my mac on my knee and get into some awkward positions and they still aren't great!

I had no idea how much fun it would be.

3. Peterborough Prayer & Fasting.

Not to sound like a heathen but I find fasting hard. My stomach was crying after a few hours, 

so I ended up not doing the whole thing. But the prayer is incredible, and you have these brilliant people who are really experienced with leading the meetings and giving prophetic words and leading 

worship, and its just amazing to see whats going on across the country with church plants and so on. Indge had an interview at Norwich Uni so she came along which made it so much fun, and she got to meet some of the people I've met on Impact, which was cool.

4. Indge's birthday party. 

Debbie and Ruby cooked this amazing meal, mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes and ham and chorizo 

for starters, cannelloni for main and a big chocolate cake for afters. Topped off with watching Napoleon Dynamite. I hadn't seen it in years and was at the point of choking and crying from laughing so much. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. 

Today was a lovely day of church and food shopping and egg custard tarts.And then Tuesday 

brings another week of Impact training, how good is being alive!

How marvellous! How wonderful!

Blaze Songbook

So the Blaze week of prayer has just ended, literally just half an hour ago.  Great timing as well seeing as we just came back from a week of Jesus setting people free- undoubtedly the best week of the last 6 months if not the last year.

Its really made me realise how much I love Newquay, Blaze, and 

everything God has done in Cornwall. 

We're also beginning an Alpha Course, 8th Feb, 

which has made me think back to how I became a Christian 3 years ago and how much God has changed me- a really good fuel for praying for people to come to Alpha and hear the gospel.
