Mid year update - 4 those who know me :-)

Well, not too many thoughts this morning to be honest, but there's so much going on - i gotta do an update (& please note: there's many opportunities 4 prayer scattered through here :-) )

  • Teen Camp starts today - small, but hopefully relational, rewarding, & fruitful in many ways
  • Kids camp starts next week - huge & without my normal support staff - it is fair to say i feel underprepared & nervous
  • My whanau's off to Whanga today for 4 days with friends & family - the roads are very wet - "please watch over them LORD"
  • The small group we've got involved in "leading" has been going great!! created time to be refreshed in the LORD, & relationships are growing. We have a good problem - we're getting too big!! May God continute to lead & teach us on how his people best do the "one another's" of scripture!!
  • Our USA trip is coming together - praise God for releasing available funds. Kerri has been making bracelets for us to sell & Breahn has started a baking business - "Breahn's Baking To Order - 'let Breahn do the baking!!' " still someway to go, but we're gonna make it!!

Throughout it is evident - God is good!!

I on the other hand - am stressed & tired & too prone to do things in my own strength!!! May God continue to be gracious toward me as i stumble to learn to live in the wonderful relationship He calls me to!!!

Bless you my friends

time to surrender

It's amazing sometimes the things we hold onto
I've realised that i've been holding onto trying to take my family to the states - not necessarily the hope - but the how.
"I'm the provider, i'll do it somehow!!"
God is bigger than me - than all of us, please join me in praying - that God will provide for such an opportunity as this

cheers
