There may be very hard things in you, but if you immerse them in the Presence of God the enough amount of time, they will soften.

Our new washing machine is currently now on its second load, while I play catch up with the washing that's built up since Sunday! Washing is drying on the line, although at 6pm, it won't dry much tonight...it can go an aurer in our drying room over night (a small porch with the oil boiler in it that never cools down)...tumble dryer is standing ready if needs be to help us catch up with the current load washing in the new machine.
Feel very blessed that a way of paying for it opened up so easily... would've been a very different stor otherwise
Thanks to thosr that prayed and spoke uplifting words of encouragement! It meant a lot this week - especially @MaryMamuzich.
With a dodgy ankle this week (not a single clue how I hurt it earlier this week) the boys installed everything while I delegated ;-)

Global prayer warriors, please continue to pray for my 10 year old daughter. We were sent for immediate CT scan following an ultrasound today. They were concerned about a large mass. I know that with God all things are possible. And, He has given so many reassurances through this trial. But, we are in need of prayer. My daughter, husband, 7 year old son, and myself. Thank you so very much! May God bless you.
Episode 4 now uploaded ready for viewing FROM 4pm SUNDAY 13th June on our website, YouTube, IGTV and Facebook.
This one feels like something of a labour of love!! But we overcame the technology issues in the end with what felt like a hammer and some gaffa tape!
We have added [correct] captions/subtitles too, and a transcript of my #GoDeeper talk on Keeping it Pure is available at the website via the link below (again, from 4pm Sunday).
I'll post this link again on Sunday afternoon. If you want the links when the posts are actually available, just visit the website and sign up to our blog!
Thanks for the prayers this week - they were needed!

Watering the plants lead to prayer!

Being flexible is extremely valuable in life, cos nothing ever goes to plan. Yesterday I was unable to get out running, so at the end of the day I went out for a short stroll, and simply enjoyed God's creation. (Can't get the picture right way up)
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.

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.

A beautiful prayer by Ruth Kirk, a precious sister in Christ.

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 ;-)
I don't usually get quite so excited about website stuff, but our www.BerryBunch.family website is no longer what it was when we started, which is great!
Our oldest son @StevenBerry came up with a better approach to the front page - which is now live. Now the front page finally reflects more of who and what we are!
With some quality photo assistance from middle son @TakeN the images came to life (and a little computer assistance for our newly dedicated green screen).
We had a fun time making those first two images 🙂 and hope this comes through all we do...especially Dave the Dog, our latest project.
Also, thanks mainly to some timely and godly inspiration by @DevotionalTreasures we finally have a proper name for all the regular videos we're making, and BerryBunch TV was born (albeit a year after it came to be.......)
I've included a couple of photos from the front page...

more of a name change to a section of the website and photo than anything else, but we didn't know how to name that section of the website!
so it's a step on the right direction - thanks for the inspiration!
about to redo the home page after an idea from our oldest............that's exciting all of us as I work on it!
