Amazed & Confused

iBook plea

In true clumsy Trundle style, I was merrily typing away at a new blog post when I reached across a tipped my mug of tea over my iBook key pad!!!!!  Aaaaaggghhhh!!!!!  I am typing this from a PC frantically praying that I haven't seriously damaged it... prayers will be apreciated... xc

24-7 Round Table 2005

Man, what to write, how to summarise the intensity, friendship and productivity of last week's 24-7 Round Table in Herrnhut, Germany? How on earth can I convey the conversations, amused looks, calamaties and adventures in one blog post?...

Shattered in Schonefeld

I'm perched on a stool by a bar in the rather tiny Berlin Schonefeld airport. I feel a little like a phone who's charge has run right down. I keep plugging it in for fifteen minutes then taking it away to use it but the juice won't last long. I've been running on adrenilin for the last three weeks but finally that has coming to an end and I feel like a particularly thoroughly juiced orange, nothing left in me but pulp...

Thelma, Lousie and... err... Pete strike again

It wouldn't be an adventure if Charlotte and I hadn't run into a few hiccups along the way. Sadly the last two days have been no exception to the Thelma and Louise catalogue of calamaties and near misses. In fact we've initiated a new member into our posse of accident prone travellers, today the lovely Pete Greig joins our ranks and adds a new dynamic to the journey...

24-7 Round Table

This week I will mostly be holed up in the middle of the German coutryside with 40 other poeple from eight or nine nations involved in 24-7 Prayer. Yes, that's right, the 24-7 Round Table has come around again! Charlotte and I are about to leave the office and begin our trip to my parents, before getting up at disgusting O'clock tomorrow morning to get to Luton. If you're praying this week I'd appreciate prayer for safe travel, everything running smoothly and productive disscussion on the future of 24-7 Prayer. Have a great week... xc

Oh Mr Darcy!

Last Friday night I experienced a miracle. With almost no pursuasion at all Stephen Harding took me to see Pride & Prejudice. Anyone who has spoken to Stephen about Austin's much loved classic will no that this is an event worthy of heralding the second coming...

Potter spotter

It wouldn't be Friday if I weren't desperately trying to de-stress by distracting myself witha film trailer.  Todays fodder is one of my many obsessions... Harry Potter.  The full length trailer has been released with a much fuller glimpse into the story.   Hmmmmm, excellent (rubs hands in eager anticipation)!  Check it out here...   I really am pretty stressed getting the Round Table and International Leaders Gathering together.  I'd apreciate any prayers anyone would be willing to pray xc

Hit me with your rhythm tricks

Today was a good day. I'm sure God would agree. Today an incredible man called Julian Spriggs came to introduce us the his book we're usung to study the whole Bible in a year. Heavy, you may think, but nay, every word that came out of this plain, forty something man was inspirational and full of life, passion and wisdom...

In Transit...

This week is the begining of the Transit year (www.24-7prayer.com/training). I figured it's about time that I got a decent understanding of the Bible and opened myself up to some discipleship and training. I've been here 24 hours and I can most certainly say that this is one of the top three decisions I've made this year...

Memories of Madrid

It's Monday morning, I've been back in Chi 24 hours and now I'm sitting in my living room, staring at my suitcase, waiting for CHarlotte to get out of the bath and come pick me up. Madrid was amazing and seeing it looks like I'm not going anywhere for a few minutes, I thought I'd share my highlights...

Ablo Englise?

I'm typing this sitting in a room with 10 Spaniards all talking very fast and passionately. I've managed to pick up the occasional word but with their speed and accents it's something of a challenge...

Another Trundle adventure...

Tomorrow morning I catch a train at 5.51am to Gatwick. "What exotic destination is she travelling to this week?" I hear you cry... Well for the next few days I am on my way to sunny Madrid to hang out with the lovely Jas Jacob and the Spanish 24-7 team...

Office revolutions

Bored to death of a mind numbing office environment Charlotte and I rebelled yesterday and spent hours taking apart, re-arranging and sprucing up the 24-7 International Office.  Big whoop you may think but actually it was an invigorating project...  (yes I am a geek)

Changes

I took a walk through a thunderstorm two nights ago. I'd had a long day and suddenly I felt like I couldn't cope with the challenges in front of me. I needed a time out, the house needed milk, so I took a walk...

News crash

I've felt pretty shell shocked watching BBC news the past few days.  Is it just me or does anyone else feel like the world is falling apart around their ears?

Something in the water...

Today continues the bizarre nature of my 24-7 life.  Monday and Tuesday were intense International team meetings, Wednesday was the photo shoot and today (Thursday) is utter bedlam in the office - and I am not responsible...
