Catching up

Its been a while since I last posted.....had major problems with my computer as it just suddenly stopped working sob sob, apparently the drive just packed in which is not that surprising as it was a bit old. Getting a new drive off ebay and computer should be up and running by weekend yayayayayay...can't wait as Scot has been pacing the house like a trapped dog.

So whats been happening in my world then? Well I've been working hard as usual which is nothing new haha...I actually worked a night shift for the first time in over 10 years as Scot was at his dads for his birthday ( he is 14 now..can't believe I have a 14 yr old son), really enjoyed working at night as I got to work with staff that I rarely see. Still missing my Alan but coping without him so thats good. Our kids club and youth club at church is back in full swing now and we are getting 30+ kids to the first club with new kids signing up each week. Me and Christine were only saying a few weeks ago that maybe we should leaflet the local schools but there really isn't any need ty Jesus. The youth club is great, got off to a slow start after the summer holidays with just a handful but last week we had 15 :o)
out of that 15 only 2 come to church on Sunday...so thats 13 kids spending time at church and seeing God in action without probably realising it. We really could do with more helpers tho and for those helpers to be able to just chat to the kids and play with them so prayers needed for that. Church has just been amazing the last month or so (well actually it always is..) we have had a couple of new people..people have made commitments to Jesus...really ace stuff has been happening. A few Sundays ago we sang the first song, prayed and then had a testimony time..that went on for over 40 minutes!!!! Last Sunday was our harvest festival and church was packed, I can't ever remember that many people coming before for harvest... we had well over 50 Praise God and pass the ammunition..! I think we can all sense at church that things are happening and that people are growing in faith as people are taking on responsibility for stuff and doing more for God. Another really really ace thing thats happened at church is that Elaine has come home. Elaine was the associate officer at Swinton until July 2005 when she was moved to Stretford and then Bury in February (I think) well in July of this year her 3 years of lieutenancy were up so God and Elaine both decided that she should come home to Swinton and be part of our church again wooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I was really really happy about this as she is my lovely jubbly mate. So now she is back and right where God wants her...Thank you Jesus for that too.

'RIGHT HERE IN THIS PLACE (SWINTON)
GODS SPIRIT IS MOVING:
RIGHT HERE IN THIS PLACE
AS THE FATHER SAID IT WOULD BE alleluia
RIGHT HERE IN THIS PLACE
LALALALALALALALA
Cant actually remember the rest of that song lol....I will stick it in when I find the words.

I'm trying to think of anything else to write about thats been happening, I'm sure there's loads of stuff that will probably come back to me over the next few days as God has been so good, I will have to blog about it next time I get chance to get on a computer.
