A little update from the warmth and sunshine!

Yes, I did write warmth, and that isn’t written in a “it’s nice and snugly inside” way. It’s actually really warm today. Around 20 degrees Celsius! Not bad taking into consideration that the snow only melted yesterday. So I’m sat here with my laptop on the kitchen counter, perched on one of the high stools. The veranda door is open and I can hear birds twittering away. It’s lovely. Reminds me that I really do believe I was created for warmer climates!

I realised I had a moment, and then realised I hadn’t written on my blog for a while, and so I thought I’d might as well combine the two.

Life is good. The other day we were driving along when 6 or 7 deer decided to cross the road as we were speeding down it. Thankfully we weren’t driving too quickly and could calmly slow down and stop to watch them crossing. It was spectacular- reminds me that we are not in the thick of the city. I’m just surprised they don’t get scared off, but then I supposed they’ve had to get used to traffic and people since they probably don’t have many wildlife places to be anymore.

Today is the start of our 3-day “Passion 4 Jesus” conference and so some extra healing and prophecy teams for me. This morning at our 6-8 am healing rooms session I think we had about double the normal amount of people come. It’s cool when people come in with pain and leave without it because we prayed and Jesus healed. I am excited that people can come this weekend to experience God more and get a deeper relationship with Him. It’s all about building up the church so that we can see His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

Other then that I don’t think much has happened really, not that I can think about at the moment anyway. And writing this I must say I am very tempted to make the most of the nice weather and pop out for a little stroll. Thing is here, that even if the weather is absolutely stunning, most of my day is spent inside (and actually the prayer room is pretty cold so I forget it’s warm outside)- but there is nothing like a few sunrays to bring out a smile.

On that note, I shall post this onto my blog and head out.

Packing...again.

I just folded the last load of laundry and I’m almost packed. Off to the airport at 5am tomorrow morning, heading off to Amsterdam. I’m excited, a bit nervous, and wondering what it’ll be like. It’s been a good week at home with lots of quality time with family, especially the little nieces and nephew. I’m glad I’ll see them in April again. Well, not much to write and packing to be done and a bit of sleep would probably be a good idea too. Next time I write it’ll be from Amsterdam....

Single-tasking September: The art of single-tasking.

To change habits and ways of life, the motivation for change has to be strong, and the benefits outweigh the effort it takes to make the change.  For so long it’s seemed like the ability to multitask has been regarded as a great skill, but is it really a good thing? Recovering from burn-out, one of the effects I noticed was that it was harder to concentrate, and especially tricky trying to focus on many things at once. I’d try to multitask, only to realise that all tasks suffered from lack of capacity to complete any one of them. The challenge is that the habit of always doing many things at once goes deep, and when I tried to focus on just one thing, I found that it was actually really difficult.  As I did a little google search on the matter, I found it seems like multitasking isn’t as healthy as once thought, and that it doesn’t help productivity. Some even referred to it as “switch tasking”, in the sense that the brain isn’t doing many things at once, but shifting rapidly...

Snapshots of life...

Life. What is life anyway? And what does it mean to live life to the full? A little reflection there. One thing I do know is that I am alive and that the days seem to pass by quicker then I would like them to. The month of July has literally flown by... I can’t believe this weekend it’ll already be August. Where did July go? It’s been an eventful month. Last week was my birthday and I felt very loved and valued. Going for a Brazilian BBQ with some friends in a week or so and I am very excited!! I really hope it’s authentic and good, or I think I will most certainly be a tad disappointed. I also got given a car, almost on the day of my birthday. A good friend of mine got given another car and so she gave me her old one. It took a week and a bit for the garage to fix it up and pass it in the inspection, and getting it licensed in my name and getting insurance wasn’t totally straightforward, but I now have it. And it feels so freeing and lovely when I’m driving my own car!!! It’s a golden...
