BerryBunch Family @Berrybunchfamily@dingdash.com

Since I joined DingDash I've had the privilege of meeting people from all round the world. We're made friends with people from Scotland, Poland, Finland, Nigeria the US, Canada and more places than I can think of right now - even Bradford, England 😉

I've been honoured to stand in prayer with new [to me] brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles, mums and dads

Its been an bonkur so far 🙂

And then I get to meet someone like @Olamide who is now a best friend. We've never met, and yet we've shared so much of lifes ups and downs
Awesome doesn't come close!

And THAT is the [good] power of the internet; of social media; of DingDash; of the Gospel of Jesus Christ - bringing people together who otherwise wouldn't

Blessings y'all from our little corner of God's planet

@sinbach @bethany @tymektt @tanjaostman @MaryMamuzich @Kruselady @Cherishingsparrows2020 and so many more than I'd ever have room for here in 1,000 characters.

Am feeling especially blessed by my DingDash family today

That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Matthew 6 v 25

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 12.05.2022

“We never know what the seeds we plant will do. All we can do is sow as best we can – wherever we believe the Lord is calling us to sow!!”

Morning DingDashers
- from a sunny UK, with blue skies.

A good drying day - I've got a loaf of washing in the machine and a load on the line and we're all well into our first day of a new working week.

Today is a book editing day for me.

Andy B

Another day is upon us here for the Berry Bunch.

I ordered our branded t-shirts (we had a miracle gift) on Thursday, so looking forward to those once they're ready. But, today, is our first day filming with our brand new fancy camera (another miracle gift) and extra studio lighting (another answer to prayer as I got a brand new set half price).

I've also found some really good logo stings. If you don't know what they are, I've added one here.

Onwards

Andy B

Morning all, from an overcast UK.

Made Jo a flask of coffee for when she gets to work. And a second flask of soup for her lunch.

I've said goodbye to Jo for another day and the washing is on the line. Dishwasher ready for emptying and then I crack on with another day of editing.

God is good.

#onelifeliveit

So many things to post today!

We've been back to our usual schedule and creating more resources that you can use in your situation, whether they inspire you, or you simply download them and use them as they are.

Sunday PLUS, Proverbs 2 starts from 5pm. It's via Zoom, with a link/password on our website.

Super friendly for families and all alike!! Featuring Andy B and Jo Jo, Peter and Dave the Dog as we delve into the wisdom that comes from the book of Proverbs.

The BerryBunch

First birthday in the new house - for my beautiful wife. I fell in love with Jo because of her passion for Jesus, and am loving exploring life with her. There's never a dull moment!!

Andy B

Sunday PLUS, S01E002

Dave the Dog joins Jo Jo in the studio and, well, mostly together, they help Andy B take a look at the second chapter of Proverbs, which is rammed full of wisdom.

Dave the Dog comes to realise that using a permanent marker on his friend's head is not using much in the way of wisdom - at least he gets there in the end!

The BerryBunch

Sunday PLUS happens around the world at 5pm (UK time). We'll publish the video at 8pm the same day.

Just read Roman 3....anybody else read this chapter and thought...say what?!?

Need to read around this one!!

Andy B

A pair of lovely goldfinches are busily building a nest just outside one of our windows. These are two ridiculously pretty little birds with perfectly defined bands of golden yellow and glorious red!

What a joy to see them beavering away looking as beautiful as God intended them to look, building their nest, with not a care in the world - even the wind we have today is blowing them all over the place, and yet they sit on a small branch, steady as a rock. What a reminder to be peaceful amongst the winds of life.

It reminds me of Matthew 6:26-34 (NLT)
Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?...and so much more heavenly wisdom

Listening to a spot of Magnum nice and loud after my usual, extremely pleasant, cycle to the coast - to blow away the cobwebs, and loosen my back muscles after several days glued to my computer compressing all of the 450 videos we've so far created for BerryBunch

Compression has finished. Uploading to our cloud storage is done. And I've started the longer process of adding them all to Vimeo for ad free viewing!

Done quite bit of editing to my next book too since I've had none of the usual video editing to do this week.

Time for a very late breakfast, since it's now 12:30 in the afternoon!

Andy B

Stuff like this warms my heart 😊

Andy B

I've been working hard at editing my second book - yesterday and today. So I'm off for a cycle for some shopping, before coming back home and jumping at it again. I need to stretch my legs and a good hard cycle should fix that particular problem! Also, we have nothing for dinner tonight = quite the motivator!

This one I'm working on right now should, God willing, be out some time in May if things go well, or June if they don't (it's good having a goal to aim for!). I'll run some teasers with the name and cover at some point after Easter.

And, then, I can start work on the other two books I have sitting waiting to be edited, plus a second volume of the one I'm currently working on today (mostly written and awaiting time for editing), and then one on Marriage too (taken from the episodes of our podcast - Marriage Matters).

Alan - challenge accepted

grabbed an Andy B 2 Minute Video while out cycling "Medication, Alarms and Ignoring God" although I forgot my microphone, and didn't remember to use the selfie stick I actually did bring along!

It is a little hard hitting! in a good way!!

goes live tomorrow at 6pm on YouTube/Wordpress/Podcast

These are wise words on the reason why we pray - from my good friend Andy Brown, and his brilliant book "A Journey With Jesus - 40 Day Devotional".

A great way to make sure I don't jump too fast into a busy day is to take some time out, first! Wisdom I learned a long time ago - because the busiest days need gaps for air!!!

So I did a thing !

I clicked the publish button for my first book...which means the eBook will be available for pre-order within the next 72 hours.

Both the paperback version, and eBook version, will be published - on Amazon from Friday 25th March.

Feeling both nervous and excited for my new little baby - Broken Dreams, and Hope!
