Travel has been my watch-word for the last two weeks with retreats, prayer weekends, trips to Northern Ireland and now Germany taking me away from home and off into the big wide world.
It's been challenging, exciting, refreshing, tiring, inspiring, fun, thought provoking and much more to be away with lovely people in interesting places. I'm looking forward to this little splurge of travel coming to an end tomorrow night as I fly back home to my waiting hubby and get my teeth stuck into all the work that's been awaiting my return.
The last trip in my schedule is to somewhere new. Today I fly from Gatwick and arrive in Berlin! Though I've been to Germany many times I have never landed in it's capitol city and though I only get to drive through it, I look forward to waving hello through a car window. From Berlin airport Chris Stone and I will drive to Neubrandenberg for 24 packed hours with the great Ralf Neumman. This rather brief jaunt is to film Ralf's contribution to the upcoming 24-7 Spaces podcast; a 40 day video podcast that helps anyone interested in praying through the life of Jesus in the gospel of John this lent. So far the contributions people have made have been inspiring! I can't wait for it to begin.
However... if passion is determined by how much you are willing to suffer for something you love then I must be passionate about Spaces. I got a text today informing me that it's currently -16 in Neubrandenberg!!! What!?! We are totally going to freeze our noses off filming outside in the Datzberg. Oh well shoud be fun. If frost bite has spared my fingers I shall blog about it upon my return. Here's to a new city!
