Back in NZ!

The DTS and outreach have come to an end, and a great end at that. Last week was such a great week of reflection, looking back at what God has done in everyones lives, giving him back all the praise and glory!


A time of rest and contemplation begins for myself after a full on 5 months. Things are pretty quiet around here at the moment. So I'm enjoying some late morning starts, fresh afternoon walks into the valley, learning how to start a fire and keep it going (think I've mastered it!) 


Psalm 46:10 is on my mind a lot, 

       Be still, and know that I am God; 
       I will be exalted among the nations,
       I will be exalted in the earth

...and why does it seem so hard to 'be still' not to rush on to the next thing or expect everything to be there in an instant...but to simply trust in the character of God, let that all surpassing peace that has been promised reign over all areas of life...having faith that is not tossed around in the waves of doubt and double minded-ness!

Isaiah 43:19 

       See, I am doing a new thing!
       Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
       I am making a way in the desert
       and streams in the wasteland

Gods up to something new...
