Home Sweet Home

Spent about 10 days of 2008 in UK so far… and nearer 4 months in Indonesia!! That’s 1/3 of my year… God certainly has written that country on my heart during this time away, although not sure what that exactly means!!

In this time I have mostly been...

• reading Irresistible Revolution (should be canonised) and Isaiah – there’s some amazing stuff in that book!;
  
• eating rice and tuna, and Cha Chas (fake peanut M&Ms – they saved my life out there!);
  
• listening to Robbie Seay Band, Newton Faulks and Shane&Shane (Give thanks to the Lord for He is good…);
  
• watching Greys Anatomy (yup that rights Bodes, right there with ya girrrrl!) and Lost Season 3;
  
• travelling in boats – speed boats, slow boats, fast (6hr boats) and overnight boats. If you ever need any advice about going on a boat journey in Indonesia, I’m your girl (but do yourself a favour and just don’t!!);
  
• living life without email and texting – surprisingly refreshing;
  
• learning to speak Indonesian, still a loooooooong way to go!!
  
• visiting the doctor – ear aches, infected knee, gastritis and stomach cramping – I was there a lot!
  
• realising my actual rubbishness in the face of the awesomeness of God, and how amazing it is that I can know Him despite that, how intensely He loves me still and desires to use me maybe even because of my weakness.
  
• having my heart break over friends that don’t know this and desperately need to!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh that’s pain, right there!!
  
  And now I’m back. England, are you ready??!
