Welcome to the best Dad I know

This is my second week back in Bible school and it has been a week that has touched my heart so much that I am broken again in my heart for the Love that God has for me and for each one of us, it has humbled my heart and brought tears of thankfulness, let me tell you.....................

Can you imagine you are a father, you love your child so so much with all your heart, you want the best for him or her, you want to show them everything you made for them; you want to share all the fun things in life with them, you want to see there faces when they smile and you want to be the one that wraps them in your arms when they are hurting or are sad or sick, you tell them off when they are naughty because you love them and you want them to be the best person they can be. Well this is how God has been and is with us every day!!

Studying through the Old Testament with every book I see God's passionate pursuit for his peoples hearts he is running after them, they need water, he gives it, they need food, he gives it, they face impossible situations and God shows them a away through it. He loves and loves and loves on them all the time even though they are sinning and turning their backs on Him and worshiping other gods and treating others unfairly.

"He will tend His flocks like a shepherd: 

he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in His bosom, 

and gently lead those that are with young" 

Isaiah 40 v 11

In Isaiah this week we are seeing how God's heart was so broken over the pain of his people not following Him. We see that God has so much love for them that he restores them, he rebuilds what is ruined and he restores their hearts, he brings them out of Exile....

 "I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud,

 and your sins like a mist, returned to me for I have redeemed you" 

Isaiah 44 v 22

We read about so many prophecies about,...JESUS coming, this is how much God loves His people even after they for years have turned their back again and again to Him, He still loves them with His whole heart and wants to give them something so precious to Him.

So seeing these prophecies in Isaiah about Jesus coming and how he is sent to earth to show us how to live with each other, how to love each other and to be kind to those around us and afar, to be generous, to share, to be gracious, to have mercy and to walk how Jesus did........... He never judged, he never thought he was better than anyone else, he had a humble heart he was selfless, he was someone who loved and loved those that no one else wanted to love!!

For me this has shown me even more how God Loves us so much, that he wants us to live our lives with him, it made me be so thankful of God's heart for never giving up on me, even when I have turned my back on Him, even when I have done things that I know have hurt God and gone against his will, he has never left me or ever turned against me, he has taken me back with open arms and loved me unconditionally!!


That's the Dad I want you all to know, like I am blessed to know............

A new year is coming.............

I cant believe the year that I have had, started off living back at home with the parents which I hadn't done for 11 years, and then in March I moved back out to Tijuana Mexico!!

In the last 9 months I have seen God's power and known Him in a deeper way than ever before, I have seen more of his character, more of how it is all about Him and not me, that He is doing so much more than I could ever for the people around me and our team!! I have seen finances come in for my school fees, I needed $1,700 for each term/semester and I am able to pay for two of the three terms/semesters, which is a massive testimony of people's generosity and Gods provision for this situation.

Firstly I was staffing for the first 5 months the Diciplship Training School where we had 17 students from about 5 different nations, we saw each student grow, and discover more of God and who each of us are in God. We then lead an outreach for 2 of those months to Mexico City for 2 weeks and then 6 weeks in Rio De Janiero Brazil!!

In these two months we saw people knees get healed and hearts healed from hurt and disappointment, we were able to serve the community with the local churches and see God move and encourage people in their walk with Him. We did Kids clubs too!! Then in Brazil we ran English and Spanish lessons, kids clubs and church services, dramas and songs in school, and just to serve and love the people we met.

This is a time that was amazing for all of us in so many ways we learned so much, were humbled by God providing miracles and learning more of how He cares for us daily.

We then came back to Tijuana and the DTS finished, some students coming back to the base to staff and others leaving for their home towns and carry Jesus with them to spread what they learnt!!!

I then have completed the first 3 months of the Chronological School of Biblical Studies, its hard work but i love it, It has truely changed my world and my understanding of the Bible and God and his character!!

In 3 Days time i will be returning to Tijuana and will be straight back into the next 3 months of Bible School!! I am looking forward to it so much!!

I have had such a precious, blessed time since i have been home in England seeing all my friends and family. I have laughed so much that my eyes are sore from crying laughing, its been nice having Summer fruits squash again haa ha ha and spending time with everyone. I have had such fun with Lilly and Benny and seeing how they have grown so much and are so so  much fun!! It will be hard to leave but i know i am going back to my second home too and look forward to seeing friends there again!!

I want to say a massive thank you to all of you who have been reading, following, praying and supporting me in friendship and finances throughout this year, i would not have been able to do this without you all, so thank you for being a part of this vision God has called me too and i pray massive blessings on you all and massive hugs from me and my heart if full of gratitude to you all!!
