After such a day of technical issues, we're winding down for the evening. But I can't miss a year marking the life of our daughter, who died when she was 11 weeks old in the womb.
We named her Magdi - she would have been Peter's older sister.
She only lived for a very short time, but she made an impact on us that is lasting lifetimes!
I think of all we've done with BerryBunch and know her legacy, and what she taught us, are tightly connected.
When she died, we made a little Lego model to remember her, with the letter M built in the middle.
This photo, of that Lego model, was taken not long after - when we'd sold our home, to invest in a business that went on to be the last, and final, insurmountable God shaped object that prevented the opening of a lap dancing club.
That Lego model was a daily reminder to live the life we have while we have it, and a motto
"One Life Live It"
Looking forward to meeting her in heaven one day.

@JeremiahKranig James 1:5-6 is one I meditate on when big decisions are inbound, and in the last 4 years we've had some life definite decisions we've had to make!
But, I'll also pray - absolutely. And if you want to, I'm happy for you to DM me with anything more specific to pray into.

Looking for prayer. I have some big decisions to make, and changes are inevitable.
@tymektt @mariapombo Perhaps even especially when we fall ;-)
We switched to a 7pm time for our weekday Prayer 2:62 but, to be honest, this really isn’t fitting with our family as we’d expected it to do. So, with some pretty big plans for Prayer 2:62 due in a month anyway, we’re gonna put a pause on Prayer 2:62 for now.
Our intention, God willing – when we change things up a bit – will be with a return to our previous time of 4pm, but with some exciting additions in the form of a prayer vlog/journal from Peter, and the wonderful Jo Jo and Peter creating a weekly Family Prayer Time video/idea to inspire you in your own situation. You can look at ones we’ve done previously here - https://www.berrybunch.family/resources/family-prayer-times/.
We don’t like having to cancel, and the time really isn’t working for us as we had planned for it to do.
So we’ll restart back on Monday 5th July for more Prayer 2:62.

@MaryMamuzich Thanks Mary
We're blessed with what we have.
But this is mostly just beyond what I know how to do, so when things go wrong it's not such an easy fix
I'm not one that often thinks 'something is going wrong so it must be the devil'
But on this occasion, I am wondering......no idea why, but the week, as weeks go, hasn't been a good one so far...lots to say thanks for, but lots more to fix, repair replace or sort out too...
@mariapombo Thanks Maria 🙂
@bethany not great at the mo........we've to a third recording of Endurance done - will see if my many hours today (we started this 6 hours ago) have made any difference when I start the editing in a few minutes (after I get another cup of tea!)
@mariapombo thanks Maria............your encouragement is more timely than you know right now!!
@MaryMamuzich thanks Mary
not going great so far. we were filming this morning..........6 hours later and we've had another bash at it
the frustrating thing is that the problem is not repeating - trying the voice and the audio to match up isn't usually an issue - today, no matter what we do to set it up, it then changes again.........which it shouldn't be able to do.........
oh well...we have a third recording, which we hope will work (had to bin the first two attempts)
will have to see how it looks when I do the editing (my next to do list item)
today is filming day for Endurance..........and i'm sat reinstalling the graphics card software...because the last driver update causes systems to crash! at least i know it isn't my computer or our hardware...still, we've lost almost an entire day!
onwards!
@bethany @StevenBerry @TakeN thanks Bethany - that's very kind of you to say, and very encouraging
Today is not going so well as the recording of Endurance is replete with problems that can't co-exist.......working on a solution.....our fall back of off and on again isn't doing anything this time...
@DevotionalTreasures lol - true indeed
feeling down? scroll through DingDash...brightens my day every time!!!
🙂
Andy B
@mariapombo Amen
can make for some exciting moments...but some restful ones too, and I've never regretted any of the exciting memories I've built while stepping our for Jesus (other than my unwillingness to keep shuffling forwards and away from what feels safer and known)

@MaryMamuzich another friend felt led to pray for us before it happened...we felt someone praying and now we know who, which is lovely!
God is good...I've just replaced the motor on the hoover...that have out the same time...only a £20 fix though...we've had it 10 years, and should go a few years longer again now 🙂
@MaryMamuzich @StevenBerry @TakeN @DevotionalTreasures We're enjoying that too...it certainly isn't what we set out to do, which were loving 🙂
My latest Andy B 2 Minute Video - all on Projection, Reality and Giant Spiders
If you’re not a fan of giant spiders, read on!
This is kind of, all about, the very opposite of giant spiders, as Andy B looks at how projected images distort reality!
So where in our lives, are we fearing something terrifying and monstrous – when it is really just a projected image making something look bigger than it really is?

no spiders were harmed in the making of this mini video ;-)
@DevotionalTreasures would feel utterly honoured! got any framework or topics?
