More Heat? This is Autumn..............

Could it get any hotter? Well, I guess that it could indeed get hotter, but I think that this heat wave has gone on long enough.......God please, we need some relief! Today it has been hot again, never would have guessed huh? It's not supposed to be this hot in the middle of March, heck what's going on? I am really hoping that the other prediction about the weather will happen, that is that the weather pattern we have had over summer is pointing to the fact that we will more than likely have more rain than usual this year, believe it or not! That would be good and bring it on I say..............it hit 40 degrees in Adelaide today so it would have been 41-42 here, mmmmmm have to watch the news tonight. But I just checked the weather on the Bureau of Meterology and it said that tomorrow is going to be cooler..........wait and see...........at least I have been able to get some work done inside with the air con on, at least I am very thankful for that.

Bye for now,

Love Kylie XXX

Hey Kylie,

Glad to read about what's been happening in your life in SA.

Sounds like God is using you greatly (and Colin as well) and that the Palstras are placed in the exact place that God needs you in just now.

As for your question, "Does anyone read this blog?" I had trouble accessing it until I signed up for a blogger account myself, so perhaps other people are having the same trouble?

I was sitting here thinking of you and Colin today, and got all teary remembering some of the times we shared... it feels like a whole lifetime ago now but those memories are still fresh in my heart and I will treasure them dearly.
I kow I don't keep in contact much anymore, but I want you to know that I still consider you to be one of my closest friends and there are many moments in life when I miss you heaps. I know our lives have headed in different directions and our friendship is not what it once was, but I still think of you often and pray for both you and Colin often too. Ihave often thought about how nice it would be to go back to those 'good old days' but I realise that I would be missing out on all the blessings that God has provided me with if I was to do that. I had never imagined myself ever moving away from ballarat, but I guess when we're obedient to God's calling then we're really in store for whatever He brings!

Anyway, enough rambling, I'd better go and finish getting organised for Easter.

Bless you hepas my precious friend, and know that you'll always have a special place in my heart.

Iron sharpens iron........

After coming across this verse today I began to think about it a little. You know sometimes we can get ourselves all worked up over the most ridiculous things and let something that really wasn't a big deal ruin our day. It reminds me of the need to surround myself with people that encourage me, but also to be an encourager. Sometimes we are a little preoccupied with ourselves and what makes us feel happy, but I think that it is the wrong way of looking at things. Yes, I am important, but if I focus all on me, then what happens to everyone else. I guess what I really mean is that if we surround ourselves with God-fearing, loving people who offer good role models and less rubbish then that is what we will become ourselves. Iron sharpens iron......how we act, speak and encourage or influence can really affect others, and if we want to be sharp for God then we really have to be mindful of everything that we do, think and say all the time. Challenging...... I was helping someone out to...

Busy, busy, busy...

Well, today has been quite a busy day. Started off with getting to the hall to let people in who were using the hall today and then ducking off for a quick much needed hair cut - yay! Then off to get the mail (drop home and hang a load of washing out), and get some groceries for the pantry at the church only to find that when I got to the cash register I did not have a signed cheque with me - cause we have to have two signatures. So then I had to rush back to the hall to get some cheques signed and then had a 10 minute time limit to get back to the supermarket and back to the hall for a Mission meeting. Mission meeting done, it was time to get home for a little lunch before we had to make some phone calls and visit someone in the hospital and pay a visit to some friends with whom I had to deliver a promised zucchini slice (which was really good - by the way, at least Colin enjoyed the other one that I made!) Then we could go home, more phone calls, and some planning to do. So, this wa...

God is closer than you think..... part 1

In our small group over the last two weeks and heading into the next at least 5 weeks (depending on how long it takes to do each study..... this first session has taken us two weeks) we have been looking at the study "God is Closer Than You Think" by John Ortberg.... he also has a book of the same name. It has been encouraging to see the many ways through the Bible where God has been with His people, especially when they weren't expecting it. So, for the next few days I am going to do my homework on here as a blog each day. Hope that it works like that! The story of the Bible is the story of God's desire to be with people. He is determined that each of uys be His friend, His companion, and His dwelling place. He is stretching out to reach us and fill our lives with His presence. All it takes is the barest effort - the lifting of a finger, the whisper of a prayer - for all of us to reach Him. (God is Closer Than You Think Small Group Guide p.17) Ortberg talks abou...
