No time to blog....!

There is so much that I want to blog about but I honestly don't have the time! Tomorrow I head off on 'newday global.' This year I'm off to Valencia in Spain, but don't fly until Wednesday evening. We start with 2 days training in Bedford (I'd never been to Bedford before May, and this is now my 3rd visit..what is that about?!) and then we fly to our different destinations (Dublin, Gdansk, and Valencia) for 7 days of finding out more about what it might be like to church plant in another culture. Last year in Sweeden was awesome so I can't wait to see what God might do this year! My bag is packed, and I'm just finishing off some bits in the office before a chilled out evening.

I have so much to say about the Brighton Conference last week. Adrian Warnock has done an amazing job at live blogging the content so I would highly encourage you to check it out! Adrian was doing the same seminar stream as me so I've found his summaries of these really helpful.

There are so many things I would like to highlight from the Brighton Conference, but perhaps those posts will come in time. I have two weeks holiday in August so that should provide some good reflective blogging time. Until then here is my list of Brighton highlights in no order at all because it would be silly to try and put them in order...apart from God being first...obviously!!

God's presence.
Worship led by Lou, Simon and Evan.
Finding out from Evan and Tracy that there is such a drink as 'Iced Redbush.'
God speaking.
The 'goodness' of God in every situation.
Incredible preaching from Mark Driscoll.
That moment on Thursday when you could hear a pin drop as Mark challenged us as a movement.
Incredible preaching from the other guys!
Catching up with old friends and new friends.
Yummy fish and chips.
Seeing the power of the prophetic and being encouaraged to 'step up.'
Jaz's comment...'Sarah have you lost your keys...' later....God speaks...awesome!

I'll be a bit quiet on the blog front for a few weeks I'm afraid as newday global pretty much runs straight into newday itself....I shall miss my little blog, but look forward to updating it with incredible stories of God's goodness!!
