one more day of madness.......

Well summer madness is nearly at an end. All our young people went home last night. Some looking in desperate need of a soft bed and a lie in..

Stuart and I are going this afternoon for a final catch up with some friends. For us that has been the best part. Yes the main stage is great, yes the seminars are interesting, but for us its all about relationships, and having time to catch up with some friends who we haven't seen in ages, and share dreams, and life and encourage each other. Its amazing how in a sea of 4 thousand plus people God can cause us to turn a corner and bump in to someone. You couldn't plan that sorta timing - trust me you can't all the meetings we tried to plan didn't work out - but instead we were blessed with God appointments.

So let’s see what the last afternoon holds.........

time to step out......

Do you ever get fed up with talking about doing things, reading about other people doing things and watching others do things.......
Well I am fed up with all of the above....
For about a year now God has been moving us towards new ways of doing things, and stepping out and taking more risks. And it seems not only us, but many across our paths share of burning desires and when we compare notes its like we are reading of the exact same page.....God has certainly got our attention.

Although this has been building in us and it has become almost like I am reaching the top of the mountain of 'frustration' and if I don't take a leap of faith soon I may end up screaming out loud on the outside like I am on the inside!

God wants more from our lives - I hate the trap of armchair Christianity - I want nothing to do with it - I want to live my life following Jesus to the full and not look back and say ' I missed it' I stood still when I should have jumped.

God give us the grace to wait on your perfect timing and give us the boldness to stand out!!!!!!!!!!

countdown to the madness starts now...........

It has been a hectic few weeks in the brown household - with lovely guests staying with us and work and various commitments - but the roller coaster doesn't end there summer madness starts tomorrow night.

Stuart and I opted to drive home every night, instead of pitching a tent with the rest of the festival goers - we are telling everyone that we are past the camping stage - but secretly I hate tents - what’s to like the only thing between you and some nutcases is a bit of fabric - if I cant turn a lock and its night time I’m not interested.

But aside from that I am soooooooo looking forward to being amongst friends and like minded people - and joining with vast crowds of worshippers.
