Ahhh, so this is Blogging!

Why are The Clarks blogging?

We thought this would be a fun way for people to keep up to date with us as we head out on our adventures! As some who are reading this may know, I (Doug) have been accepted to WEST (Wales Evangelical School of Theology) to study with the prospect of becoming a Pastor.

We don't expect people to follow this and take great interest in our lives, but it is our hope that through this blog we can share something of our walk with the Lord as we go on this journey. Hopefully this will be a place where we can post news of the family and any thoughts we may have, what ever they may be!

Why twenty9:eleven?

Good question! Well it bears some resemblance to that well used phrase 24/7, and whilst (especially now with Jacob in our lives) we wish there were 29 hours in a day and 11 days in a week, this is not what twenty9:eleven refers to!

twenty9:eleven refers to a passage of scripture:

'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.'
Jeremiah 29 v 11

This is a verse that we have held on to dearly, and has certainly proved true in our lives. It has been 'given' to us on many occasions and in many circumstances, and we thank God that it is true!

We hope you may find some joy in reading this blog, and that you would not mistake this blog in anyway to be exalting ourselves, but that it would exalt God.

Trying to live each day twenty9:eleven.
