Just the Rev

I am a vicar in Newport, Wales. I am based at St Paul's City Centre Church, which is a growing lively Anglican Church that likes to do things differently.

I love Chelsea, Chutneys and the occasional Jalfrezi

sick of being ill

When you take medicine you are supposed to get better. It’s official- I am sick of being ill. This second lot of medicine ain’t working either. Numerous people have prayed for me. Nothing yet.

Some people have suggested that this  time is very precious. It means I can get close to God without any distractions. Maybe but I do find the intense pain and the painkillers a bit of a distraction.

I’m sick of being ill but if I am honest I am missing the church family. I am missing the team I work with.

As you know patience has never been my greatest gift!

But as well as all the above I have enjoyed the love and care of a wonderful church and staff team and of course from my fantastic family; I have heard God speaking to me; I have enjoyed reading and lots more too :-)

Please don’t stop praying for me and I will keep praying for you.
