Rebooted

I love routine
 
This is me! So glad to have the Christmas break from my usual routines..but after a while, really happy to get back to those routines! To sort, and clear, and write out a little timetable, planning my time better (and then to photocopy and reduce it, so it fits inside my diary - yes really!). With the new year, I can getreally  overwhelmed looking at my life, knowing that I need to get better at EVERYTHING!
However, after Sunday at Kerith I feel "rebooted" - back on track, re-centred. We sang "Jesus at the centre of it all"and I realised that's it - that's my big idea, my resolution, my one word, my focus for 2013 - I want Jesus at the centre of it all, and that's what, with God's help I'll try to do .
It feels both releasing and intentional.
 
I'd love to know if you have a focus or any resolutions for 2013? 
 
I'm really looking forward to the new Sunday series starting this week - Keep In Touch - all about prayer.
There's a number of ways for us all to get involved - the first one being to come along on Sundays, and catch any missed sermons on podcast.
Starting tomorrow evening we're meeting to pray on Wednesday evenings, from 8-9pm in Kerith. There's a freebie for everyone who comes along ...oh yes, and we''ll be fasting - not something I naturally look forward to or enjoy...but I'll be giving it a go!
Also starting tomorrow, you can receive daily emails from the   Keep in touch blog
I'm really looking forward to reading those emails - different articles and devotionals from 40 members of our Kerith community - sign up!

Guest Blog: Esther in Indonesia

I'm delighted to welcome Esther Ross-Watson to my Blog today! She is a dearly loved member of our Kerith family. She and her late husband Michael served as missionaries for many years. Esther bravely made the decision to travel again, and she has recently returned from Indonesia. Here's her story:  Whilst Michael was on his last days on earth in August 2017 he received a request from the Island of Madura, Indonesia asking us to return to the town of Pamekasen, Madura, Indonesia where we had begun our Missions work in July 1973 exactly one year after we were married. They were keen to have us see what God had been doing in the years since we’d moved on and we excitedly said ‘Yes’ we will come!   Obviously that had to go on hold for a while because I didn’t feel I could, or even wanted to go alone! Anyway around March/April time 2018, I begun to feel a gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit urging me to think some more about it! It was like a feeling of wanting to know

Our Living Hope

Not sure what happens with my blog...or me writing my blog! Can't believe I've been away from it for almost two months. Oh well, no condemnation! Let's pick it up and start again :) Yesterday was a great day in Church! I was so challenged and encouraged - I love Sundays and all the different ways God shows His love and who he is to us. Natalie Jones preached at both our morning meetings in Bracknell , she gave such a good message on generosity, be sure to catch it when the podcast comes on our website, but for now, watch a  summary of Natalie's preach At the 6pm meeting, we had Paul Manwaring sharing about culture : the 4 Gamechangers - again, a really challenging message to check out if you didn't get to hear it live. I wore my HOPE earrings yesterday - sometimes I deliberately  choose to wear them as a practical symbol that I am choosing HOPE - that I choose Jesus, I choose trust, I choose hope. I'm so glad I did, as throughout the day I felt God speak

3 Little Bottles

Thought I'd mix it up today and do something lighthearted here. I popped into town this morning (as an aside, anyone else still incredulous that "new Bracknell / The Lexicon is so great and that it's really here to stay?!)  Anyhow, I popped into town for a quick wander and bought 3 "essentials" I'd run out of, so I thought I'd share them with you - and of course I'd love to hear about your 3 recent essential purchases. 1 Contact lense solution I've worn glasses since Secondary school, and contact lenses since I left Uni. Gas permeables - great for me - slightly perilous in swimming pools / the sea / other people's sinks (£80 to replace). They work for me - and so a couple of bottles of solution each month keep me going.I ran out a couple of days ago, so it was £4.70 well spent for clean lenses and clear eyesight. 2. "Buffet" by The Ordinary This was a new one for me, a present I received last Christmas. I LOVE it and can
