Mission and that long tense walk.

It's been a while since i posted anything. Last week was hectic and training wise was awful. There were still so many good things that happened and it's good to reflect. Something that stayed with me was a video shown at the Southampton uni mission fair on friday. I found it moving and challenging and would love to know what people think?

This week has been really good. Much more time with my family, some really good times of fellowship with my housegroup and also a church in Kirby le soken. Gen is out tonight and i was on bed duty. Things have been in such a routine - good sleeps, Caleb in his cot all night, until now. Us three boys all fell asleep in one bed and that then ruined Caleb going down in his cot. Wooops!

Tomorrow we are off to Kent, looking at houses and seeing family and friends. Cannot wait but have to remember my running gear! I used to run up and down the North Downs when I was fit and when i was also trying to woo Gen. Beautiful place and looking forward to getting there and starting up home as a family.

As far as the running is going this week, it all started so well but today was awful. I've got some annual leave and decided to get 2 hours in whilst the kids were busy. Half way to completing my 16 miles round Alton resevoir, I got that dreaded runners stomach cramp! - miles from anywhere. Without going into details - it slowed me down to a walk and i used up my alloted 2 hours just on that long, tense search for a toilet. Worrying for the marathon!



Let me know what you think about the video? Have a really great week and i promise to post more about the project soon.... God Bless

  1. Just an extraordinary and moving video. It makes you realise how fortunate we are to live in a country where we can hear the Gospel. It also makes me determined to pray for and support those in full time mission, and do what I can where I am too.

    Keep going with the training Rob!

    God bless,

    Alex.
