GregAndSuzanne

It's been a while since I penned something down. I suppose we've picked up the pace a bit, which is great for me. It's been great to have people over for BBQ's and dinners. Our house is definitely too big for just the three of us, especially considering that one of us is the size of a banana! (Or bana-'nur', as the english say.) Talking about bananas, the baby has started pushing against Suzanne's tummy. Suzanne has been feeling it on a regular basis and is quite excited. Apparently, it will take a while before I'll be able to feel, so I just nod and smile. :) We are still excited about going to Ireland, which is happening in a week from tomorrow. To be honest, I'm not sure if it's the best time to be taking a holiday. It feels like we're finally getting back into our groove and everybody knows how a holiday can break one's groove... Actually, I think it's the perfect time... You know you're in trouble when you need to be conv...

We have just had 2 wonderful days of relaxing. It was beautiful. I feel refreshed and ready to go for another jam packed week. I visited the midwife this week and I heard the heart beat of our baby, it beats very fast. Really cute. The midwife agreed that I am in tip top shape, so, almost half way through my pregnancy everything is 100% - just how God ordains it to be:) Lately my desire to get stuck into this community has been growing. We had our first dinner with a couple from our church last night, and I hope that this was the first of many to come. My desire is to know these people and love them and live life with them. This I must say is a revolutionary change from a couple of weeks ago, but that is why we rely on God. We aren't worth much here in Slough without His input and guidance. So I guess all I am saying is that I am grateful for the change of heart and mind. Greg is doing very well. He is such a happy chappy. I am woken up by his singing and clappin...

Is something that's really been on my heart and mind lately. When I say lately, I mean the last year or so. On the one hand it's a mystery 'like a treasure hidden in a field' and on the other it's part of who we are 'for the kingdom of God is within you'. When I as about 18 or 19, I used to say that people aren't turning to God because Christians aren't living the glorious life that God intended. I know realise that that's 100% true. I also realise that that's what the Kingdom is all about... Living according to God's will through the power that He's given us. What is God's will? Simple. The life of Jesus. That's right... Having an amazing relationship with the Father, loving people with all our hearts, healing the sick, raising the dead and teaching others to do the same. Who's going to say that Christianity is boring, irrelevant or man-made when they meet someone like that? Thing are going well on the home front. Suzan...
