Overwhelmed by kindness

So I'm already half way through my last term of teaching, in this season! Can't believe it. I leave Bury in 8 weeks and I fly to Hawaii in 10 weeks.

Things have been quite challenging over the last few weeks in terms of juggling work, preparing to move (emotionally as well as physically!) and trying to get my house sorted to rent. Lots of boring phone calls and organisational bits that I struggle to have the capacity for on top of full-time work - particularly when curve balls are also thrown in to keep me on my toes - the last week and a half I have had a pipe leaking through my kitchen ceiling! (It's now sorted, thank God) I have been utterly overwhelmed, however, by the kindness of God and of people around me. The amount of you who have cooked me dinners, let me use your showers, given me a place to stay, prayed with me and just held me and loved me is astonishing.

A massive THANK YOU to all of you who have transferred money to me - this has blown me over, it's been completely amazing. I have never experienced God's provision to me in this way before - every day I have been shocked as I have checked my bank account!!! I can now afford the first part of my course fees. It is so good to know that you are on this journey with me. You mean so much to me. Even more than the money though, I really value your prayer and emotional support as I step out into this crazy adventure. Please continue to uphold me through these next few weeks as I move out of my house, leave my job and prepare my heart.

In this Autumn season, where everything shifts and changes, where trees are painted beautiful colours and fires are lit; I pray that you will know God's hand on you and provision to you in unexpected ways. Keep your eyes open to see what He is doing all around you.
