We are having such a great time on holiday in California 😎❤️ It is so special, not only for the 3 of us to get time together, but also to have proper time with wider family who we don’t get to see all the time. We’ve been loving all the little moments – the times when we all get to hang out together as a group and laugh and chat (& drink a lot of tea 😃👍), the times when it’s a few of us finding ourselves free at the same time and so heading for a wee coffee, or just chatting around the table, and the times when it’s a one on one walk in the sunshine or chat in the kitchen. The combination of all these gatherings is filling our hearts so full ❤️ We are so thankful for this special summer that we’re having!

Over the last week we’ve also had the privilege of meeting some new people and hearing the amazing ways that they’re living their lives for Jesus. We’ve heard some incredible stories, we heard of a family moving from their home town to go into the middle of LA just so they can share Jesus with as many people as possible! we heard another of a couple who have decided to move from here to tell people about Jesus in a completely different country! And we’ve heard other stories of families and individuals praying over their communities and loving the people around them as Jesus leads them! It’s been so much fun!

We also had the amazing opportunity to share in an evening service at our family’s church. The service is held at a different location than the church building and we got to see first hand the way the church has been loving the community where they meet – it was beautiful! We were also invited to share at the service which was so much fun! Neil felt lead to talk about Jesus’ love and so he taught and then we prayed for people together at the end of the night. I will forever be blown away by how beautifully the Lord meets with people, He is incredible!

When we came home from that service we got to chat and hear stories from another service that was happening in a different community – and again we were blown away! People met with Jesus in ways that will forever change their lives! People got set free from things that had held them in pain over the years, someone came back into relationship with Jesus who had previously walked away, and some met Jesus for the first time 🙌 AMAZING!!!!
