I have been hopeless at keeping up with this blog...mainly becauseI don't think anyone's following it! but I'll try to do better!

Life has been very busy ...and very hard! 

Busy:  the church continues to strengthen and grow. we now have 4 home groups, which we call 'Life Groups'  which are a great opportunity to get to know people better and to share and worchip in a smaller setting. One meets in our home.   

 Every week we have new faces in the sunday morning meeting....although our website is not yet up and running, people are finding us through word of mouth.    One young woman came from the south of France to work in Paris...In Issy-les Moulineaux (our area) and when she came to the Saturday we had recently for those wishing to become members, she heard for the 1st time the story of Gordon being told by God that he must 'unblock the wells' , meaning release the annointing that God had placed on Paris which had flowed before , about 20 years ago, and which had been blocked up .  Our young woman was amazed because she had a prophesy 2 years ago that she would be part of a church which was unblocking wells!

Hard:  Gordon and I find living in such an urban situation a huge challenge. I am a real country girl and miss the open spaces and big skies. Even Gordon, originally a Londoner, has become used to living in a quieter situation.  We feel very claustrophobic often....not helped by the fact that our living space and garden are much smaller than we've been used to!So many buildings! So many people!!!  Prayer please for peace!  We are thankful we have part of the old royal hunting forest quite close by where we and the dogs go for long walks! There's also one local park where we can walk the dogs.  

Last week on May day, a holiday here, a gang from the church ..including us and the dogs!, went hiking in the forest followed by a BBQ at the home of a couple living nearby! It was a glorious day! Photos to follow!
