My friend Ben



Today I had a wonderful day. Started it off with some proper coffee (not instant!) and hazelnut syrup. Then finished "When God Walked on Campus" and had an awesome time reading my Bible and praying. Really excited about all God has in store as his people PRAY for revival. Why do I want revival? Because I want people to turn from their sins and trust in the everlasting God. And at ANY time, God can spark revival on MY campus.

Then off to Paul and Lisa's for the day. Lisa and I took a walk into town to get sausage rolls and wipes in order to give Paul time to work on his sermon for Sunday.

Spent the afternoon in Merthyr. Went to McDonalds with two of the girls from my Bible study. Mars milkshake might be a new favorite. We walked around town and I desperately wanted to buy some things in this shop. But the lack of cash and lack of space in my suitcase prevented me from doing so. Went to the Lloyd's house and had dinner with their family. Talked with Garreth about what the plans are for missions in the UK and abroad. Exciting stuff.

Then I went to Helen and Michael's house to babysit for Ben. I forget if I have mentioned this couple before. Michael has recently been diagnosed with MS and his body is taking the hit pretty hard. Ben (their son) was born with a condition that prevents him from using any muscles from his hips and below. Their family has and will continue to face many trials. Yet their trust in the Almighty God stirs my heart to praise. Anyhow. I babysat for Ben tonight. We had fun eating chocolate, watching an insane movie, taking pictures, and reading Winne the Pooh.
