God and young people have a sense of humour

It's been a manic start to the week as i've run from one meeting to another and one group to the next.

I was leading a session last night with our youth discipleship group and on my way home was reflecting upon how it had gone. I was a little down as it hadn't gone as i had hoped and i was thinking through a few dynamics issues with some younger members of the group and the impact that they were having on the feel of the group. Just as i was expressing this to Jo (and she was giving me that 'you've been out all day and i've not seen you and all you're talking about is work look') i received a text from one of the older young people (who i thought may have been negatively impacted by the presence of some disruptive influences). She just thanked me for the time we had that evening and how much it had impacted her in a difficult time. Isn't it funny how God works, His ways are definately higher than ours.

Weddings

We've got a number of weddings that we will be attending over the next year. We were phoned by one of the couples our good friends Joy and Mark and they asked Jo and me to be involved in their wedding. We are both feeling massively honoured to be asked to be Matron of Honour and to do the address at the ceremony (i'll let you guess who has been asked to do which!). Thanks guys for asking, i have no idea if you ever come past here but we are both looking forward to June.
