What a year 2011 has been. God has certainly been 'restructuring' things, as promised! It is great how towards the end of 2010 an American pastor - a friend of Stuart Braye - had a word from God to me saying I would face a period of restructuring, and that like any restructuring there would be some pain involved, but it would be worth it. I was quite relaxed towards the word at the time; not dismissive, just healthily waiting to see what would happen (if anything, if I am being completely honest). God repeatedly brought up the word again through 2011 and was very true to the word. Our finances have been completely restructured, I haven't worked in full-time teaching since July 1st (I have done some supply), Toni and I have a whole new insight and promise around personal ministry. There are at least three things right there that God has restructured.
Some events in the Fraser's of 2011:
- Toni has been healed (a very powerful word from God, not 'is being healed', but 'has been healed')
- Toni passed BSL Level 3
- Toni became self-employed and started a new business (still works with Kevin also)
- Josh passed his GCSEs with flying colours
- Josh finished school and started VI-form college
- Josh started part-time work
- Sami finished Year 7 and is doing well in Year 8
- Sami progressed well with her horse-riding, her art, her design and construction, her piano playing and her singing
- I left permanent, full-time teaching
- I did my first talk outside King's (an Alpha talk at King's Church Eden, Penrith) and had another arranged for February 2012
- Toni and I started Ultimate Treasure Hunting group with King's
- Jade joined us to live with us on October 31st
