Hi All...

sooo. we got a new tenant for our house (Apparently) and 2 days before they were going to sign the papers our agent emails and tells us that they are no longer going to move in because there teenage son doesnt like the house and refuses to like there.. ( CRAP!! ) i love our house, how could you not wanna live there... anyways, makes us think that there never was a tenant, and were just being fed stories to keep us happy..

anyways, please keep praying for our house, we need amazing people in there that are going to look after it...

Lotsa Love

Hey friends,

Were Having a great time here, but at the same time we feel like were being pushed all the way down Struggle Street. As some of you may know, we are renting out our house in Australia at the moment, and our Tenants a few weeks ago informed us that they were going to have to move out,for fears they may go bankrupt. (apparently they felt they were doing us a favor giving us the heads up) but basically they have said they cannot afford to pay rent so they are going to stop paying and move out this weekend. This is really pushing us to the limits as were only just scraping through each month as it is. But now our main source of income and rent is about to be stopped until we can find new suitable tenants for our house. Hopefully finding someone shouldnt be to hard but the stress of having to think about this and deal with estate agents from over the other side of the world is getting really hard to handle!

Basically we got some prayer points...

- We need some great people to rent our house ( we dont want just anyone in there, as we have put alot of work into the house and obviously want to keep it nice)

- We need people to move in ASAP

- We need cash - were really cutting it fine but we still know Gods bankaccount is much bigger than ours ha..

so if you are able to help in either a prayerful way or a practical way it would be soo appreciated.

Much Love.

Hey friends.!!!

God is Good!! or Great, whichever works!!! church is amazing, we have been seeing so much blessing and favour, and learning so much as we go. I think the biggest mindset that we are currently smashing down, is having faith for finances only when everything is going great. Its real trust when you have to trust God for every dollar that comes in. AND WERE GETTING BREAKTHROUGH. its such a good feeling to be able to go, It will b ok, we have faith... and actually believe that its going to happen :) i know it sounds basic but where being really honest with ourselves as well. Claire needed a deposit for her mission trip. and the night it was due it came through. we didnt know how we were going to get it, but it just turned up. (we still got another $3000 to get but its ok Gods in this with us)

Im getting to play at church more, which is amazing, but also really interesting as some of the values/(ways we approach the worship teams) that we have set in place back home i have been able to introduce over here and combine with their way of doing things and its really interesting to see some of the out comes. It is amazing to see heart for worship here. Its all about the attitude of the heart,

we have had some interesting things happen in the past week that might normally shake a church up, but to watch a leadership deal with Situations honorably is incredible. the heart and the honor that filters directly down from Bill is Amazing! every single person in the church is eventually affected by the choices Bill makes, and the heart attitudes he has. It is crazy how when one person chooses to honor how it affects soo many more.

Anyways, there is my little sermon ha

Redding and its surrounding environment.

Its starting to get cold, Mt Shasta and Mt Lassen are both constantly covered in Snow, and it really is such a great view on a perfect blue sky day with two snow covered mountains in the background.. its not Arcadia (aka Gods own country) but its close...

Keep praying for us! we are getting so much out of being here and we so appreciate the prayers that im sure are keeping us safe (on the other side of the road, driving home from San fran at 2am after flying back from Australia CRAZY!)

so thanks everyone, we miss you all and please start taking hollidays to redding, we bought a Brand new Queen bed just so we could have friends stay, and its getting lonely.. so come on over.!!!
