Reflecting on the past & looking to the future

When you live at any distance from family and friends, you really begin to treasure your time together more.  Last week, we were able to head back to the UK to see some of our family and friends. I now find even greater joy in spending time with family, as I know our time together is limited. And as for our friends…well, it was just like old times – almost as if we had never left London to move to Stockholm.

I am grateful for these friendships – with both family and friends. Their support for what we are doing with our music means so much to both me and Ben.

Re-visiting the area around Wimbledon, where we used to live, was quite a strange experience but also helped us to gain a lot of perspective.  Along with meaningful conversations with our afore-mentioned friends, it reminded us of the choices we have made, all that we have acheived over these last 9 months or so, and it excites me to discover the plans God has for our future.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” – Jeremiah 29 v. 11

I listen to this track quite a lot as I reflect and thank God for all He is doing in our lives.  It’s an instrumental track from our latest Salt of the Sound EP – if you like it, it’s available on our bandcamp store.

Do let me know what you think of the song.  What good things is God doing in your life?  Maybe you face similar challenges with distant loved ones?  As always, I love to hear from you!
