Well on Tuesday night (at the XLR8 youth group I help lead at church) we did a bible study on 'hope'. It's great to have 'hope' and life becomes hard work with it. There have only been a few moments during the past 18 months when I felt that hope had abandoned me and mainly whilst in a post chemo haze. Feel full of hope now, positive and looking forward to the summer. Got a real spring in my step and I'm looking forward to my retreat next week.
Over the past few days I've just been pottering in the garden and doing a few bits for Teresa at Kip. Last night we had a great evening last night on the boat with Amy & James and I cooked on a one burner gas stove. It was a cool night but with the heater on, some candles lit and a few G&Ts down our necks we were very cosy. Teresa and I spent the night at the marina and didn't wake up until the amazingly late hour (for us) of 9.30! What a pair of lazy slugabeds! Needless to say Teresa has worked all day despite it being her day off; she works so hard.
My garden resembles Kew and I'll try and post a few pics tomorrow, I love gardening and Chloe says that she can hear me humming the whole time I'm out there. It's VERY therapeutic.
Meeting a old work colleague at our Kip centre tomorrow who is in the process of setting her own centre up and then on Sunday we have our 'Sunday Supplement' church breakfast together followed by our 'All Age Service' - always a great morning. Hoping to boat on Sunday afternoon and then I'm off to rural Leicestershire on retreat for a few days. Probably won't blog whilst I'm away but will when I come back.
Have a great weekend.
God Bless
David
