I’ve now shared my recovery story everywhere I can and have simultaneously become strong enough to get to a gym. For the foreseeable future I’ll be doing this ready for what’s next. Thanks for everyones prayers and support😀🙏🏻

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

I’ve preached in large and middle sized churches (in UK terms), but these last two weeks have seen me sharing at two churches of just over 10 people each. The Lord wants His whole body to know the revelation of His majestic mercy! Below is one of them, Fulham BC.

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

Out today and on-line! I’m still sharing about His mercy and my recovery story around churches so DM me if you’d like me to speak at yours 😀.

I could only have done this with my carbon fibre foot cast…🤗

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

It’s taken me thousands of boring, monotonous laps of our patio, first with a walker, then free hand after my foot op. Every lap I have looked longingly over our tall back gate and thought to myself, “One day I’ll walk in the community by myself to the river.”😀🤗😀! PTL!

Due to postage stamp prices and a withered left hand, we’re not sending Christmas cards this year. But can we take this opportunity to wish wider family, friends near and far, and associates an extremely warm Happy Christmas 🤶🍷😀!!

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

I realized a childhood dream yesterday. I preached at Hersham Baptist Church (the church I walked past twice a day throughout my childhood). I bet you can’t guess what I spoke on😂😉!

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

I’ve been contributing to the campaign against assisted dying bill. ‘Locked-in’ syndrome is in the bill as a condition where the right to die maybe offered. A complicated issue, but ultimately I think it’s about the sanctity of life. What do you think 🤷‍♂️?

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

Mercy is…

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

It’s nearly 5 years since my strokes and both Sam and I were still crying tears of wonder today at Trinity BC, Bexleyheath - we’ve got an eternity of this😀😀😀

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

Don’t Google this at home was wrong 😂 The current men’s long jump world record is held by Mike Powell, 8.95m, set at the Tokyo World Championships in 1991👍

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

@VanninVicar I bet the views are marvelous though😀👍

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

My time helping Twickenham Green Baptist Church is over because they have found a new pastor, so back to Esher Green.
But yesterday I was back on the road again with Sam, this time sharing about God’s mercy and my recovery from ‘locked-in’ syndrome at Kingdom Faith, London😀🙏🏻

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

When I first started to write left-handed, it took me 2 minutes to write my name and it was tiny. Four years later writing Sam’s birthday card, it took me 10 seconds to write her name - still looks like a five year old’s writing though😂.

@stuarthazeldine Trust the Brailsford process - it’s worked everywhere else

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

I’m impressed by my walking, but there’s nothing like the Apple Health App to bring you down a peg or two!

[Rev. David Hazeldine @HazeldineDavid]

@stuarthazeldine @X @elonmusk Not as if you weren’t already😂😂😂
