Truth Today

It's Monday morning, and hard to believe that REAL2014 is over! We are so thankful to God for His kindness, love and power - He was at work in women's lives throughout every aspect of REAL, and it was so exciting to see how He brought all the elements came together as one!

Everything that we said, believed and heard at REAL is true today as we continue to live out our own lives at home and work, in our families and communities. Truths about identity, and chains being broken. Truths about who God is and what we believe. The Truths that replace the lies, the narrative, the story we've previously been listening to. Hold on to Jesus' teaching. Hold on to Truth.

Perhaps you've read through some of your conference notes? Or you read this morning's emailed Bible Devotion? Or you've put a worship song on, in the car or kitchen? Or you've started your "Word for the Day" notes that were in your box? Whatever it's is, the secret is to keep on feeding ourselves with Truth - temptation is to coast through a few days on the high of the weekend, but we need to speak the Truth, feed ourselves with Truth, stand on Truth, hold onto Truth everyday! If only the Truth goes into us, then when we are under attack and we need help or guidance or wisdom, the Truth is inside us already, and the Holy Spirit can bring it out - that's using our sword girls!

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
