What are your three most treasured memories? (not including wedding day as that is too cheesy)
Diving in Crete with Jim – stunning!, my bridesmaids made a video just for me of made up sketches showed at my hen party – it was so hilarious and fab, slapping Jim with a banana skin by mistake in the face (twice) whilst trying to get enough swing to chuck it out of the car window – we all laughed so hard,
What are your three biggest regrets?
Not being able to drink beer or eat mushrooms any more ☹, Not seeing Bon Jovi with Delirious in concert (Had no one to go with but shoulda just gone on my own!), wish I’d studied Spanish at Uni as well as French
What three things have you seen, heard or experienced that have most shaped your ministry as it is?
Youth group at my home church showed me that Jesus was real and that they had an active relationship with Him. This made me want to find out more and helped me to give my life to Jesus
My year abroad in France helped to shape my faith tremendously. I was way out of my comfort zone not knowing anyone to start with in a different culture. God was my comfort and strength throughout this year and provided for all my needs. And seeing the kids (7 – 11 yr olds) passion for Jesus was so inspiring. They were told off for talking about Jesus in school yet couldn’t keep silent, and some of them knew their Bible better than I did (Not just quoting verses but understood what the truth of them).
Meeting Jim’s uncle William in South Africa. He made a point of engaging with everyone he met like they had value, whether they were a cashier, a petrol station attendant or a road sweeper. It meant even more as there is a real White/Blacks divide there still. Everyone has intrinsic value and reflects God.
What three things do you want to achieve before you die?
Deeper relationship with God, more holidays to Italy ( just need the money !), get to a Keith Urban concert
