What a great day. It started off at Cavendish Road. We got to meet once again with the encouraging group of students who want to make a difference in their school. We get to talk to them about their dreams for the school and pray together. Today there was a youth worker there from another church named Ben who gave a testimony about his experience doing mission work in the Philippines. Afterwards we talked to Gary the chaplain about hooking him up with Holland Park church so he'd have another place to pool volunteers from when he needed them. We want to make more opportunities for the church to get involved in the community, especially after Rachel and I leave. It's a shame so few people live within a half hour of the church building, that always makes things trickier.
After Cav Road I got the opportunity to get a quote for the slight damage I did to the front of my car when I didn't stop fast enough in traffic. Let's just say the damage is worth more than the car. Oh well, it's only stuff, God is taking care of all things. Another blessing God has given me lately is an extra portion of joy. I've been really excited about life and the work God's given me here. I really want to make the most of these last couple weeks and I have no doubt that's what God has in store.
Meghan has her knee surgery in a few hours. It's a repeated injury and there's a 50/50 chance they'll either remove the torn meniscus or repair it. We're hoping for repair because it means she'll be able to keep more function in the knee and not have such a high risk of arthritis. But God knows what he's doing so his will be done. Prayers always help. I am so grateful for the constant encouragement and support she showers on me. Her faith never ceases to inspire me. Even through chronic pain assorted ailments she raises her head and praises God. I am blessed.
I'm not sure what the rest of the week has in store but I'm ready for it. What good things our God does. How faithful is He always! I pray God opens our eyes to see all he's doing around us. I don't want to miss a thing.

Peace, love
