Sticking together...

Four months of looking for a new place to live have been challenging. Being completely without a home and having to depend on the hospitality and generosity of others is a very vulnerable and humbling experience. One of the things I'm incredibly grateful for is that the lady who has offered me temporary shelter for April was willing to let me bring my dog and cat with me. Being homeless alone is hard enough; trying to find shelter for my pets would have made things even harder.

If you click on the photo above, it will take you to a little music video that I've made this month with my border collie. There’s a line in the song that says, “Sometimes things don’t go as planned,” and that’s certainly been true for us this year as we’ve ended up spending April in this temporary accommodation. But at least we could stick together (another line from the song) and, when I wasn't busy with ministry commitments or with house hunting, the garden of our temporary home provided a pretty backdrop for us to film these games, tricks and times of practising our canine dance steps. Hope you enjoy it!
