prayer weekend at swanick

i didn't go into this event with the most open of minds as i didn't think that that it would be something that would interest me quite as much as it did. i learned a lot more about myself than i thought that i would, the subject that we were studying over the course of the weekend was Prophecy and it interested me a lot i made like a billion pages of notes, i also filled in one of those cool spiritual gifts booklets i think the official name for it is a Wagner-Modified Houts Questionnaire and this was very enlightening for me as it let me know the spiritual gifts that are more evident in me and what God can use in me for his kingdom, the gifts that it says that i have are helping others, service, an discerning nature, leadership, mercy and giving, i dont know how accurate these booklets are and if i actually have all of these so for those of you that are reading this and actually know me i would appreciate your thoughts as to whether i have them. so in summary the prayer event at Swanwick can be considered a success, WELL DONE GUYS.

Feeding the multitudes

The title is slightly misleading as it was only like 50 but its still a lot for me ok, as my challenge this month that was set from my corps officer was to cook for the over 60's lunch which is harder than it sounds i swear, i have so much more respect for the lovely ladies that run it every week now. I cooked a vegetable soup for starters followed by a Chicken Chasseur for main and a strawberry and apple crumble for dessert (just to let you know it was my first attempt at making all these things) which turned out a lot better than i thought that i expect its to no doubt thanks to the supervision of Babara and Mary my assistant chefs for the day, they will kill me for calling them that so if you don't hear from me again you all know why. This has been by far my favourite challenge so far and has shown me just how much i enjoy helping and serving people, so cliff if you want to throw more stuff like this my way #bringiton
