Guest writer alert! It’s not your usual writer today. Your usual Well of Hearts writer has been busy recently, juggling work, organising women's prayer meetings, attending Bible study, dealing with the school closing early because of the heatwave or not opening at all, going to the endless list of end of year school events and is now battling through the school summer holiday.
