2018 and Fliss resurrects her blog after several requests!

Hi everyone 


After 4 years I have decided to come back to the blog as have a feeling the Lord is asking me to write a book. !!"I am not joking, but in the last 25-30 years I have had around 300 people telling me to write a book and as I will be 60 next year this could be a good time - or not! Let's see. 

So what on earth has happened in the last 4 years! Well the Lord is still continuing to take me all over the world and in August I went to Indonesia kicking and screaming! I was absolutely adament I never wanted to go there or the Philippines ( apologies all you wow people from there) but in December I felt the Lord say Fliss Indonesia to which I replied "You have to be JOKING LORD"! Anyway I asked him to confirm it and He did with more than 50 confirmations in the MOST incredible and amazing way through really wacky things. My final one after 49 was Lord just one more and what did He do? I was in Kings Langley after lunch with the wow Pat and asked this young girl about train times as my phone battery was down. Guess what but she turned out to be Indonesian AND gave me a wow church in Jakarta for me to visit which turned out to be awesome! Lord HOW do you do this kind of thing!!!

SO getting the cheapest flight ever ( £499 London/Jakarta) including 4 internal flights and in tears a week before I went because I did not want to go, I flew non stop to Jakarta with Garuda ( confirmation of the right airline when that wow programme This is Us, mentioned Garuda as a Sikh guy in a hardwear store was called Garuda!. It was truly amazing and met the most wonderful people, saw fab scenary in Bali, ended up praying with loads of people and God gave me specific words for them and went to Singapore for 24 hours to visit Joseph Prince's church. That TRULY blew my mind as again God gave me golden opportunities to pray with Philippino sisters and a young couple next to me. I felt the Lord say she needs encouragement and after praying I turned to the people behind me. In an auditorium of 4000 the guy behind me had the name of the lady next to me tatooed on his arm because HIS WIFE sitting next to him had the same name as the lady I had just prayed for! Wow Lord such a picture of the Lord tatoos our names on His heart. 


The people were absolutely amazing and some of the kindest. In fact I would put them as in the top 3 in the world out of 40 countries visited. 

Last Sunday two people in my Connect group have  links with Burma as her relations on her mother's side were missionaries and think they know the wonderful author Liz Anderson who I met several times and which ended up being one of the most remarkable meetings of my entire life. I still miss her. 





School continues to be crazy but we had the most phenomenal results in the summer at GCSE once again and that was good as it was a new course and we had no help from the exam board. 

This the wonderful Ali and Val ( married to the wonderful John and Ian respectively ) and I are off to posh afternoon tea in London. Wow both of you we have been friends for 40 years. How exciting and what a complete blessing. 

I have also been prayer walking in Germany as in 2014 whilst in Taiwan I felt the Lord say I want you to go to LEIPZIG! I replied "Leipzig Lord I do not do Europe and Leipzig is not in Asia!! "Nevertheless I realized that it is J. S Bach's city as he played there and last June I went to the BACH Festival which was amazing as Maasaki Suzuki, Robin Blaze, Sir John Elliot Gardiner were all there and I met Sir John after waiting over 40 years. Wow. 

Now I have visited about 18 cities in Germany prayer walking and have just retuned from Mainz and Heidelberg. Both great and had THE most amazing lunch in Mainz which was ace. Still cannot speak German and one of their organisations sends me crazy as you feel like you are hitting your head against a brick wall!!

So many amazing people continue to bless my life so much. Thank you does not even come near. It has been great to be in the "right place at the right time" with Shirley Williams and Joanna Trollope as well as many others particularly John Simpson and numerous others. Keep doing this Lord please as it makes the heart come alive. 

I must finish as stuff to do. I cannot remember how to save or put pictures on. 
Blessings to you all and any reading this who we have lost contact with do get in touch via Facebook under me of course ( London network)
