Feel like I've been away forever.....

Seems like we have been away forever, though really only not even two weeks. It is so good to be back home here in Kadina and although we haven't been on holidays I feel like God has really renewed me to do His work here in this place. So many things have happened since we've been away. Firstly we were at officer's fellowship and had a great time of refresing and learning some new skills for reflection and just really having some good God time. Then we had to leave fellowship early cause we were leaving to go to Melbourne on the Thursday of the first week, but a dear friend was rushed to the hospital in Adelaide and we thought we would go and visit, when we had an accident in Adelaide, someone ran into our car - didn't give way to us, so that put a little dampener on us getting away when we wanted to.




We were very grateful that DHQ loaned us a car to get over to the Children First conference and to the Mission 2008 conference because they were both really really good and I am glad that we didn't miss out on getting over there. God is awesome!!! It was really great to be able to see some friends and catch up as well as catching up with the family, even though it was a very quick visit, it was great! God is good and I am glad that we are safely home, just got to pray now that our car gets fixed quickly and there is not too much inconvenience.

Blessings on the journey.................Love Kylie XXX

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...
