Hey All..

well we are almost at the time where we are going to get on a plane and come back home...

Last week we had some exciting news, we found out that in Dec we are going to have a baby!!!!!!

so both claire and I are pretty stoked about that,

so now it is a matter of tying up loose ends here and preparing everything for the trip back home.

its going to be so good coming home, but at the same time so hard as we have made some amazing friends here that we will be friends with for life,

we have a few prayer points,

- that our baby, even now, will be in perfect health

- that claire does not get sick at all through her pregnancy

- that we can find someone to buy our car. We are hoping to sell it in the next few weeks so pray for a great buyer!!!

and finally, we are really stuck for cash, we need to pay the rego on the car about 2 weeks ago, but they only take cash, so we cant do it on our australian CC, so this is stressing us out as we could get in serious trouble for having an unregistered car, but at the same time its really hard to get around without wheels...

So if we could get some prayer for that OR alternativly, if you have spare cash that your not attached to then let us know :)

looking forward to catching up with everyone in about 5 weeks...

'lotsa love

Hey all...

its been a while, not sure if anyone is reading this haha but it kinda feels like were communicating anyway. Church is fun. currently trying to build a record label here with brian and bethel music, is goin well, but with the obvious struggles of starting a new venture. BUT loving every minute of it, and learning so much.

Claire is getting so much out of school and growing so much. So proud of her!!! She leaves for croatia in a couple of weeks, but still needs $1300 dollars to make her final payment, we are really believing for the finances to come through for this, so if you want to help invest in claires life ( coz i really believe this trip will be life changing for her) you can go to the Bank details that are on our Blog Page, or here

Its ANZ

I know that it can be tight at times in the finance department, but i also believe for massive blessing from trying to "out give God" ;-) so anyways, if you are in any kind of position to help claire on her mission trip that would be amazing! she also wants to be able to take some cash over there to be able to sow into the communities over there and really bless them.. so anything like that is going to be extra for us as well, BUT we feel that sowing into that kind of blessing is important...

Along with the cash stuff, we have had our housemate move out, so our monthly rent is now $450 more a month than it has been, so that is definately putting a strain on everything...

aside from that life here is great, we have clint and joelle staying with us at the moment, and have the Klems coming this weekend, ( very much excitement ;-) !!!) the weather has been crap. constant rain for quite a few weeks, and doesn't look to be getting better anytime soon. really missing the sun...

keep praying for us about doors to be opening up, we are really praying and thinking about what to do after this year, so if you could all be praying that we make the right decisions about what to do, that would be amazing!!

thats it for now, miss you all looking forward to seeing you all again soon..

Hello friends.... welll first Blogg of the year, and its almost all through January....

yep i have been a slack arse but it because we have been so busy

Have had a great start to the year, Had Mr Law come and stay with us, which was amazing... the only thing that would have made it better would have been having the Mrs Law there aswell, that would have fun!!! we miss ya hails!! and in a week or so we have the morgans coming to stay, which will be awesome to see them, and then we get a royal visit from the Klems, (quite excited) heard we might have a visit from booty and rach! and then claires Parents after that and My mum as well... so all round a great start to the year... 500% better than last years start to the year... On that, your prayers are appreciated around this time, as its coming up to exactly 1 year since dad Died, and I know i have been feeling pretty down about it, even subconsciously i have been like, why do i feel so crap at the moment...

anyways, we are learning so much, please pray for direction for both of us, as we have about 5 months left on our visa, and were still not really sure what we should be doing after that 5 months is up,

miss all our friends back home, cant wait to catch up with everyone on our return,

Lotsa Love
