Thankyou to all those who are praying

It is impossible to personally thank all those who are upholding Bronwen and I in prayer. Some of the churches we have attended in recent months have made a point of laying hands on us in their services as they prayed. We know many other churches and individuals who also uphold us. Every so often I get emails or messages from people telling me they attended a church that we have never heard of and that we had been included in their intercessory prayers. It is a great comfort in the hard times to know the prayerful support of God’s people.

The Years of the Sparrow excerpt

Oh my God, I feel so alone;
The night is so cold, and I can’t see ahead
And my strength is almost gone.
Where is the joy I knew when My faith was fresh and young?
So dark! Are You there? How have I sinned? What’s wrong?
Rend the heavens and speak again.
— Light in my Long Night
