Community is an overflow of our communion with Christ.

Life in Cheddar.........

Liam has taken over management of The Cafe (our church run cafe in village centre) which has changed our lives dramatically, lil has been learning how to manage and I have been learning how to not be bossy. He is an excellent boss, our time at Bethel has really helped with this as he is so encouraging to our staff, they all seem to love him. I am very proud of him.

It was so wonderful having Paul Skelton come visit The Cafe and look around Cheddar, Paul runs 'Healing on the Streets' outside the Abby in Bath and is just full of God's presence and leaking it as he goes. He loved our cafe and gave us good feedback about what we can be doing to pray for more healing in Cheddar. He stayed on and we had a meeting in the evening at church with cafe staff, boot fair prayer team and church people interested in healing. The whole evening was a success, Paul taught how to pray effectively, told some testimonies and then he prayed for whoever wanted it. A close friend of ours knees got healed and it was amazing to see so many of our young people being prayed for and getting visibly touched by Gods power.

We were so sad to get an email telling us that one of our amazing good friends from Bethel died this week. He was such a wise, strong man after Gods heart, he looked after us like a father and we spent lots of time with him and his family. We will miss him so much but we know he is with his loving Father in heaven pain and cancer free now.

Its starting to feel like winter which was a bit of a shock, i dont think im ready for it, seeing as last week we had 3 wonderfully warm summer days in which i cycled around the reservoir and generally enjoyed being outside. It was sad to see the sun disappear.

We have had lots of lovely dinners our at friends homes, we often invite ourselves round (sorry everyone) and get to eat yummy food at least twice a week. We went to our friends Nige and Georgia in Weston Super Mare on Friday which was great.

I started work back at the hotel on friday which was enjoyable, it was lovely to see everyone again. I have also been booked for lots of facepainting jobs in the next few months which is fun. i do childrens parties and paint tigers, butterflies and spidermans etc.

This week I prayed for a man who is a regular in the cafe, i was chatting to him and he told me his knee was very painful and thought he might have to have a knee replacement, so i offered to pray for it. He said yes of course (not a christian as far as i no) and so we and adam commanded the pain to go. So 2 days later he came into the cafe with his wife and said 'Thankyou so praying for my knee, all day yesterday i forgot about it beacuse it didnt hurt at all' Thankyou Jesus.

Yestersday I went to Bristol to see my bestest uni friends, Esther and Kayleigh. We spent the day looking around bristol, and LOVED st nicks market on corn street. It was great to see them again. :)

This morning we had some words of knowledge for a neck, ear and shoulder, so pippa and I prayed for a number of people, one of whom had a head neck and shoulder pain and was about to leave to go home and curl up because of the pain, so me and another lady prayed and commanded the pain to go. After lunch at church (we had a shared lunch for baby chloes dedication) she told me she was completely healed so she had stayed for the lunch. :) God is SO good.

The same power that rose Jesus from the dead lives in YOU. What an honour!

Thank you for reading my little humble blog.
