Female

I've filled this 'bio' out quite fully re interests...the bullying originates from school days (asked about on the form here). Those are the days I wish to forget. I work at not looking back but they have definitely (sadly) shaped the person I am.

I experimented with alternative cultures and lifestyles in my 20s. I lived in Hong Kong and in a Christian community for a few years. It was here I worked for the man also mentioned in this form (call me Moneypenny!).

Married a Tamil Malaysian and introduced to the wonderful Indian culture. I lived with his family for a year or so, 'native' as they say. I am still happily married with 2 children, and even more fascinated with Indian culture after 20 years.

As school was a disaster, I came late to further education. As I started University (strangely mocked by a member of staff at my aforementioned school---whats that all about??!!!) I discovered I am dispraxic, which has accounted for mysteries in my life such as why I can't safely multi task; why I wrote cars off in a short space of time (famously in one area, somebody elses rolls royce); why I am SO disorganised even after devoting hours to organisational issues. I am in the middle of a sociology degree and reflecting on my experiences as a dispraxic student as I go.

I came to faith by accident when I was 15, (a rather dishy evangelist I stayed behind to chat up, honed in). I, my family and friends have since had many supernatural experiences which have cemented out faith. I am a great admirer of practical 'practioners', those who give their lives for the poorest and neediest---so I think highly of the Bakers and Iris ministries in Mozambique. Heidi Baker recently ordained my husband and I in recognition of the many groups of people we have helped to walk with God. Our current group of 2 years has recently cut the umbilical cord and are leading themselves, with us quietly in the background---as very proud spiritual parents.

I haven't filled in work/professional, as I have had very ordinary jobs but with some extraordinary people. Dispraxia and the effects of bullying probably hindered my advancement in the professional world.
