Today sees the completion of my first week in Newcastle. I thought I would take the time to document what I have achieved this week. In part to keep myself accountable and so that in the future I can look back and see the progress.

I arrived here last Friday, I spent the weekend looking at flats and went to a couple of churches, notably Tyneside Vineyard where I met some wonderful people.

On Monday I was very anxious about my flat situation, there were a lot of options, some cheap some expensive, that I could have gone for and I didn’t know the right move. I asked God to sort it out and he reminded me of a place that I had seen that I had written off as it didn’t precisly fit my criteria. I called the agent and put in a ridiculous offer. She took it to the owner and five minutes later called me back to confirm I had gotten it. It turns out that this was a very good option and what I have for the price is and amazing blessing.

I moved into the flat on Tuesday. I was so glad to finally have somewhere to stay. After nine months on the move I really needed some stability. The next few days I spent getting things I needed and sorting out paperwork, utilities etc. I also started work on some paid work as well as planning out the next few weeks.

I am feeling much more organised and ready to tackle the tasks ahead. It has been a good week!
