Family

Well for one thing we needed to have some serious family time and God was in the business of seeing that we did. What blessings we received in the arrival of our two grand children, Malachi and Keziah! Our times with Amanda and Michael and Johnathan and Candy were a real blessing and we feel we have come to know our children afresh.

Being able to trip up and visit my (Trev’s) parents was well worth the effort as we shared many things and caught up on lost time together. For the first time God opened up an opportunity to share of His love to dad as I saw a renewed interest in his heart for spiritual answers. We spent two great days just being with Trev’s brother in the country at the foothills of the Stirling Ranges.

Amanda and Michael are now settling into their new ministry with SIM in the Wattle Grove Baptist buildings. They have just been involved in the SIM Rep seminar in Sydney and are eager to get involved a lot more. Michael has to reconsider his options with his theological studies as one of the subjects is not available this year. Keziah is blooming and healthy, we miss having her around.

God had another purpose in having us home too, that of making some readjustments to our thinking and His priorities. We learned to trust Him more for those situations we did not understand. We learned to become more honest with each other and others. Most of all we found that place of resting in Him who leads us through all of life’s situations, to accept all His purposes under heaven.
