bruce almighty went down interestingly! my sister was excited to proclaim that 'God is good' when my prayers for God to ensure that we didn't miss any of the film even though we were sinfullly late to the showing were answered! then at the end mogul decided she wasn't sure about the film because she didn't like what happened to others as consequences to jim carey fulfilling his own selfish desires. i explained that i liked that because it reminded me that it's a good job God doesn't just give us everything we perceive we need - this went down well!

sorry to brad and anyone else who felt left hanging on the other day after my announcement of exciting news! i tried to post it but i managed to delete it all somehow! after all the anticipation it will seem very uninteresting!

as you know, i have been leading a faith community (a cluster) called SOFA for about 9 months. i strated it because the overall leader of our church suggested that i get on and 'do my vision' which was and is community. SOFA has grown in many ways and is a really exciting community of people to be part of. we've been having ongoing conversations with our leaders since returning from wabi sabi and there have been lots of tears!

as a result i have finally communicated clearly and everyone involved (including me) has suddenly clicked that my greatest desire is to lead with andy in the vision that we share ie. moogaloos coffee shop and then the general domination of walkley which comes later! one of my leaders stood out and said that they were aware that andy couldn't lead within church's current structures because of how God made him but that their desire is to see us step into our calling so...

the exciting news is that...

i am stepping across from leading SOFA (spending a month handing it on to others) and andy and i are being released to step into our calling with full support of the church (st tom's), even though it means the church will have to work around us cos we won't be able to make meetings and stuff.

so there it is - the exciting news which you praobably already knew because of the indepth intercession that you've been a part of for us!!!

actually, on a serious note, if you feel like God has set you apart as an intercessor and you are committed to intercede for andy and i as we step out, could you let us know so that we can keep you informed of what's going on and what is needed.

i am a butterfly who is free to flutter, not caught in a net! (thanks mags - one of the most amazing words ever!)
