Second Blog

Hi guys!

Don't you just love how extremely "creative" the names of blogs are so far! (Anyone wanna guess the name of the next blog? *heee*)

Hey, we're already on holidays! - which for us means when we have NO CARERS for quite a few days in a row! We love the help from our current three ladies, but boy oh boy it's fabbo for it just to be 'us' for a number of days! Karen, our lovely carer who helps keep us alive and going, turns 50 tomorrow, so yesterday we celebrated with her during care time. She drove us to our most favourite local park, and here are some pics of our outing. Oh, hang about, before I do, I think I promised a pic of me and Gertie (aka Gertruda and also Gertrude!)

I've explained how having bad Chronic Fatigue Syndrome takes virtually all your energy and oomph away. So I can work for hours at the PC ONLY cos I'm in Gertie - and my legs, body, head, arms, and wrists are all supported and AT REST. Only my fingers do any work, and for some reason (probly God, hey!!) they can manage regular typing of emails, messages, and so on! So what you're seeing above is how I spend over half of my life - SO WONDERFUL, cos I just ADORE serving the Lord and serving others!!

Now where was I? Oh, our outing.

Here we go, in the park, with me pointing out the Birthday Girl!

Okay, I guess lets' do the whole family - my Love with K, as we call her, cos she's basically 'family'.

And finally, me in my 'outside' wheelchair, cuddling up! *mmm!!!*

I expect the next blog to be very, very different indeed - if what I have in mind is what Jesus wants. If you've been with me for any period of time, you know the drill by now: He seldom tells me beforehand what He wants me to do - which is absolutely fine and how it should be: 'living one day at a time by faith' and walking with the Spirit and led by Him.

What I'm expecting is to do a message in Reaching Higher about practical ways of diminishing our worldliness (which is KILLING our Christian walk), and then come here to tell you how we've done this. Feel a bit 'embarrassed' about doing that, but if it helps even one person, it will be worth it. "Over to you, Lord!"

Love and peace, everyone!
