More than we could ever dare to ask or hope...

We arrived safe and sound in Portstewart on Monday night and were blown away that we got into the most fantastic house which we'll have for our entire 6 week stay. It's spacious, it's light, it has a great garden and to top it off we have sea views and can wander to the beach in less than 5 minutes! It all reminded us of Ephesians 3:20. It reminded us of God's amazing goodness. We're so thankful for this gift of a summer home and grateful to the folks here who so kindly kitted it out for us!

We've enjoyed our first few days bumping into some good friends, walking by the beach and reading. Today Rho has a kids party this morning while andy meets with the pastor of the vineyard church here. Next week Noah has a holiday club called destiny island.

Already God has blessed and encouraged us so much through his scripture and in reminders of things he's been whispering to us especially over this past year. It's such a privilege to have time to saturate ourselves in his word!

Yesterday andy read john 7:37-38, perhaps a well known scripture but such a refreshing reminder..."if you are thirsty, come to me! If you believe in me, come and drink! For the scriptures declare that rivers of living water flow out from within."
