update...

sooo this past weekend i had the opportunity to staff a high school girls camp (grade 8-12) It was amazing to see them chase after God... immediately trust us and open us to us! We taught on the Character of God and how to Hear His Voice! On one night 4 girls accepted Jesus into their life for the first time and 3 others re-committed their lives (out of 25). It was such a good reminder for me of how precious it is to have intimacy with God... how wonderful it is when someone meets him for the first time...I was able to pray for them.. encourage them and share with them how they can continue to move forward in their relationship with him..the girls recognized straight away that they could now call God their Father and one girl said-"I feel more loved now" it was beautiful and very encouraging! We had scrapbooking time, pedicures, a bake-off and heaps of just laughing together! The girl in the silver top and one in the white are two of the girls that gave their lives to Jesus-it is a picture of them singing for the talent show... Ill attach a few of the videos so you can have some aussie flavor!

Love you and Miss you all heaps... Thank you again for all of your prayers and support... helping me bring life and truth to the beautiful country of Australia....

the path is NOT free of obstacles or pain..

been awhile...

Well, today it is already into the year of 2009-since I last wrote, I have been to Jakarta, Indonesia and back to Perth-then onto some holiday time with my family in the city of Melbourne-where my Dad and Mom have just recently moved.

The time here has been such a blessing, getting to spend time with my siblings... getting to know them in a greater way... being able to rest and relax in God. To be able to trust him in a new way... knowing that it is okay to rest has been nice. As a family, it is the first time in 2 1/2 years that we have all been together.. Its been funny to see my family adjust to the Australian culture-I just recently found out I need to continue to do some tests on my stomach (from previously having Typhoid and other bacteria in my intestines) So.. as I patiently wait for results, I am also patiently waiting for further direction, and standing in faith that this year will be a year of Breakthrough as God has spoken it would be!

I appreciate your on-going love and prayers... will write more soon!

Blesssssings upon blessings..
