Speechless

Some days I am left speechless, words completely fail me.

I had a days work at Cube (the production house that give me the cover work when their Producer is away) and had a wonderful day. Anyhoo I arrived home an envelope was waiting for me with an amount of cash in it for me to go towards Mozambique. I was moved to tears and left speechless; during the time since I decided to go on the mission, I have been so touch by people who have been so generous, with time, talent, Prayer and financially.

There is absolutely no way I could of ever have afforded to go on the Mission, I did feel I should go and after seeing Mission Team Leader and Prayer I filled out the forms. I went to the interview and felt it was right to go and through peoples generosity I am able to go. I cannot thank everyone who has helped with me to go enough. I give my thanks God for such wonderful, loving and caring friends.

I have been a little busy over the past week or so, I have been doing a little production for Cube, a production house I do holiday cover for. This has been wonderful, I love working there as everyone who works there are just so nice.

I have been shopping for bits and bobs for Mozambique this is time consuming but quite enjoyable, I also went into Brum today to have my IPod looked at...the LCD is is staring to go....unfortunately it is just out of warranty so I must put up with it, I am sure it will last for a few more months yet.

I need to get some Dollars...not the best time to buying Dollars...bugger!!!

Church yesterday was great as a team we were commissioned to go out to Mozambique and that was really special, I was also prayed for by a wonderful lady called Janice, who has spent the most of the last 20+ years in Sudan working for God. The last few weeks have been am emotional roller-coaster, though I do sort of expect that as I am a nervous fligher and I am also not great with new things...an old dog and new tricks spring to mind....

This may well be my last blog until I return.

An Update

As people who know me, know I can take a joke a tad over the line....as one friend has said on many occasions the line is but a dot to me. last week a so called DJ/Comedian Russell Brand and someone who I used to really like Jonathan Ross went over my dot and that is but an atom in the distance. I wont go into details as they have been dissected and pulled apart. I have the wonderful privilege to have worked in radio for many years and fI have worked for the BBC as well. All I will say is justice was seen to be nearly done, maybe Jonathan Ross will do the decent thing as well.

Today the world has changed again Barack Obama was elected President of the United States of America. A Black American Christian, who has morals and a few bright ideas. He has to wait until January to takeover the reigns, but I am sure he will be working away until then. I pray he will change America and how they treat the world.

There is a funny side to all of the USA elections, G.W.Bush has no power at all now, the senate will not back anything he says, Barack has no power until January 21st I believe, when he is sworn in, so the USA impotent and paralyzed until Mr Obama takes over.

A weekly update....

Crikey how time speeds by..... Last week I was in Bournemouth do the I.T. and tech stuff for a conference it was an interesting time and I did enjoy it, though there were points that I thought I would not enjoy....but I was proved wrong.
I have spent the week also mulling things over, I can't seem to find a job...I keep looking, I email, I write, I phone....nothing! So what next? I am praying for guidance.
In roughly 11 days I fly out to South Africa and the first leg of a mission trip, that I find quite scary it has come around quickly. I am starting to excited about visiting somewhere new, somewhere I don't know or understand the culture, somewhere completely out of my comfort zone. I am sure God will use to open my eyes and change me.
That is about it really, I am quite busy up to going away so my weekly Blog...when did it become a weekly blog? I have blogged upto 3 times a day in the past, then most days now sadly it has become a weekly blog. I guess Blogs are to be used as when.... If anything happens that warrents a Blog I will blog......
