we've started

We’ve started!!

Which after all the anticipation is a strange feeling.

Our first task is listening, we been reading our bible together lots and praying. It’s been a real challenge to praying you will be done, without then making human plans on how God’s will should be done. We’ve been trying to get to know the area, the usual things, visiting shops, library, leisure centre , other local churches and pubs, ( yes having a pint is mission, having 6 is err not!)

It’s also been ‘everything has broken two weeks! It amazing how much you take for granted how much you need things and then you find out you can get by without a car for month!! Anyway not having a car has meant we’ve been walking at getting to know area more.

Getting Jessica a place at a preschool has not been easy. There were only places off Harold Hill, but as we very much believe we’re called to live and work in this community, it just didn’t feel right to leave the hill for her preschool. Now we had been told it would be a years wait until a place would be available, however on Friday we got a call that our most local one has a place and she starts Monday.

Love and Prayer
