Dreamfields

Well I loved getting together with nearly forty of you (including seven children) for our retreat day at strawberry field.

For those who couldn’t make it, you missed

-Chaos over caffettieres

-Malcolm’s brand sparkling new Mac powerbook crashing first time it tried to play a video (no I’m not secretly laughing at all)

-Me ‘preaching’ naked twice (you’ll have to ask someone!)

-Seven lifesize murder-scene type outline drawings of the children.

Seriously it was lovely to be together for a day and to build new friendships. The day was relaxed. The worship was intimate. The commitment to one another and to this crazy thing God’s drawn us into tangible.
There seemed to be a keenness to do this sort of thing again before too long (not sure yet how long is too long).

Thanks to everyone who came and took part.

Just wanted to say how great the Dream retreat day was. (Time to get Naked!) For me the best bit wasnt the talks or prayer activities or coffee (though they were all good too) it was being able to be the real me without feeling the need to say "I'm fine" to everyone. To tell people that I've given up teaching in search of something else and realise there are others with struggles too and that I haven't failed. So here ends my rant!

Aspects of the day revealed some wounds for me, which I thought had gone but were obviously just buried, so I'm trusting God will help me in the healing of them (preferably sooner rather than later)
