London Eye am, H.E.L.P conference pm. So today has been an ickle surreal even by my standards.
The trip on The Eye was the beginning of a shipmeet. I'd been on once before a few years ago, but couldn't fully recall the experience so decided to have another go on the most expensive ferris wheel you'll probably ever encounter.
This afternoon was one of those experiences which can only really be described as a real blessing. H.E.L.P stands for Healing and Empowering Lone Parents and I spent the afternoon in the company of some really positive Christians (predominantly lone parents) who were keeping it real. There was some talky stuff and some worship which was really useful. The whole theme basically is don't let what has happened in the past hold you back but be willing to use those experiences to help other people, which means we have to be ready to talk about them honestly. We need to dream and not allow ourselves to be stigmatised.
