Hey everyone,
You've probably heard already but if you haven't we thought we had better post it online. So we're pregnant!!! I'm 14wks at this stage and have to say that we're excited but also a little nervous. I've had constant nausea and sickness for almost 2mths now and I have to say that his definitely isn't one of the highlights. Could do with major prayer at this stage as I'm extremely housebound and feel like a hermit. This is hard as I love to get out and meet with people but I haven't seen that many for almost 2mths now, so that's already an adjustment. It is teaching me a lot about how our lives will change though :) Ok over to Alex for the rest of the update.
Things are really starting to gel as regards outreach and ministry opportunities. The youth group at Lee Valley is going from strength to strength and we have just mixed the group with one from douglas which has been a good move for all.
We are continuing to prayer walk the community around the Haven as we seek God's plan for how we might bless the people of Cork City. There are many needs here and many options, such as a food bank, or a serve the city option, but these are just ideas and we must wait on the Lord for His leading.
Sadly one of the young people we know from our homeless street ministry took an overdose by accident this week and He died, we were very upset at this as he was a great guy and had real potential, we will miss Him deeply.
Lots happening, great to see our dear friends growing in their faith as they continue discovering who Jesus is and what His Kingdom is all about.
My back seems to be getting a bit better, but it is hard to see Linda so sick and not being able to do anything about it. Other than that things are going great, we are both excited to see what will happen next and very excited about the arrival of our little bundle.
