"In my initial coaching session I was really surprised how Rebi helped me scope how to move on from some difficult team dynamics at work.
Rebi kept me focused on nudging things forward, so that I had a plan of positive actions to take away."

Feedback from Lucy's first ever coaching session!

Values blog continued...

"Here’s a few examples - do I go to my friend’s mum’s funeral which involved taking time out of work for both of us so I could go and Jack could look after Simeon? Yes. Because we have a value of being present for our friends in moments of celebration and grief. The decision isn’t should I go but more how are we going to make that happen?

Another example - do we go to church this morning even though we’re really tired and grumpy? Yes. Why? Because we’ve already made a value that showing up and being part of our church community is something we want to do, so if we can go we do.

I wonder what decisions could you make easier by stepping back and thinking about your values?

If you want a space to think this through more purposefully - why not try a coaching session?"

Jack | Joy : I’m not a big fan of the kind of in-your-face kind of joy. To me it feels too much. Christmas films or musicals are the worst for this, generally, all a bit too resolved and tidy. A bit too gleeful. I’ve been on a journey with joy over the last few years. I’m learning to lean into it more. The Bible describes joy as fruit, and it’s listed alongside peace as one of the signs of Spirit’s work in us. What does joy have to do with peace?

Well, I think about it like this: peace-joy. This isn’t me doing exegesis, the Bible uses two separate words. Peace-joy is that ease – that recognition of my place in the universe as a creature, and that state of being known and found in Christ.

Peace-joy is a quietness. A stillness. An abiding. An un-hurriedness. Joy then ceases to be some in-your-face glee, and instead is able to be a posture. Joy becomes a state rather than a feeling.

I’m still figuring it out!

Feeling very grateful for a year of two halves - returning to work, picking up existing contracts, saying hello to new ones and learning to run a business as new parents has certainly been an adventure!

We're very grateful for all the learning along the way and excited for the new and continuing things 2024 holds.

But for now, here's to being present on the sofas, around the tables and in the homes of friends and family over the next few weeks as we celebrate the hope of Jesus.

Peace and joy to you.

See you in 2024 🎉

Anyone else find it impossible to think about the next few months at this time of year? It's like it's around a bend in a different kind of way than the rest of the year.

A colleague said it's like we have to lay it all down, to then decide what we pick up again. That felt profound.

Praying in our laying down over the next few weeks we have wisdom to know what to pick up as we enter a new year.

On a lighter note, this lovely calendar in our newly arranged office space is making it easier to embrace a new year soon - 👌🏻
