...I will be aboard a very large Boeing Quantas non-stop flight direct to Sydney, Australia where I will be meeting my lovely Australian cousin John to head to Canberra, the political capital and home of my dear aunties, uncles and cousins who rather than moving to Blighty chose the ruggedness of Oz. Couldn't quite believe it when I was sharing that realisation with friends at work today but I guess sometimes things come upon us and although we have been anticipating them for so long, we still don't feel ready for them. Life since God stole my heart more than 7 years ago has almost definitely been an adventure. I have had huge highs and massive lows but Jesus has been enough all along. Just knowing I have had and will always have Jesus through everything has made it all worthwhile....which I guess is why I know that whatever awaits me in NZ and OZ doesn't only wait me but will await me and God because I with him together, will tackle this new season in my life. Gpd really ...

Digital detoxing

It's 23.06 on a Sunday night and I ought to have been in bed for at least 36 minutes by now but instead I am spending a few moments to write this post. I'm doing this because I made a promise to myself that I would try to do it regularly. I think it really helps me process my thoughts, wind down from the busyness of life and declutter my brain a bit so it doesn't seem utterly foolish to do it before I go to sleep. Perhaps next time, I'll aim to be in bed earlier though. Anyway, since last Saturday I had planned for my next post to be entitled 'digital detox'.

Contemplating...

...the fact that it seems very wrong that after getting back from a week away on Sunday night, this is the first opportunity so far I have had to sit down, catch up on email, chill out with some fresh coffee and even unpack my suitcase (filled with thankfully clean laundry, due to a weekend spent at home sick). Hmmmm......seems a sad thing to me that weekly routine can get so filled up that it takes time away (thousands of miles away sometimes) to take stock, think, listen, reflect. I think that is another thing I do appreciate about the gift of travel and time, a forced long coach journey or flight gives me time to think a little, pray quietly and just converse a bit with God knowing that he always listens - trying to get that back into my daily life here again is more of a struggle. But I am trying even if it means using my commute in to listen to some worship songs rather than my usual whilst praying for the day ahead. It's easy to get really good at juggling lots of balls, plan...
