Well all of you out there I'm moving down to the Apple Isle. That lovely little Island to the south of the Great South Land ...Australia. This Island is also known as Tasmania for those who are not up on Australian geography. Now why am I going all the way down there? Well I'm going to the second major city (town) Launceston, to a Bible college which is run by WEC to help look after the children of students while they are in classes. I will be leaving around the 8th February
and will be back home late November or early December ...I'll be home for Christmas, God willing.

Always Listening
Times are hard and times are painful
Remember God is always there
Whatever happens in your life
God will give you strength
Always listening, always near
Pray to him, he will hear
Praise his name, praise his name
Because he's here
Don't waste your time worrying
Never wanting more or less
See what is good in Christ our Lord
Give him thanks for all
Always listening, always near
Pray to him, he will hear
Praise his name, praise his name
Because he's here
Don't waste your time worrying
It's God who gives us all we need
We only have to ask with thanks
And he will give us peace
Always listening, always near
Pray to him, he will hear
Praise his name, praise his name
Because he's here
Thia song was written by the young people in my church a couple of years ago, it is based on Philippians 4:8-13. It is a good reminder to us that God is always with us and he is looking after us no matter what happens in our lives. He is 'always listening, always near' and he is ready to help us when we ask.
God bless you.

Fight Like a Girl...You Know You Want To
I recently read this book Fight Like a Girl by Lisa Bevere.
This book is about how in modern society we have confused what the gender roles are. The book sets out to help discover what God intended a woman's role to be.
The book explains that women are the completion of men, that the first man that God created, Adam, was alone in the world and wanted a companion that he couldn't find in the animals, so God created a woman, Eve, to be his companion, the answer to man's question. WOMEN ARE AN ANSWER.
Due to the fact that we complete each other we have complimentary strengths which define our roles so that we can help each other. The things that women do well are things that men do not do as well and vice versa, so we need to work together so that we can live in the world the way that God intended.
Any women out there should read this book so that we can set out on the road that God wanted us to be on.
God bless you and lead you where he wants us to be.

Happy (belated) New Year
Happy New Year to everyone who reads my blog. I had a great new years eve.
As usual we had a function/party at the church it was really good. We played board games and we had a Trivia Quiz which unbelievable as it may seem my team one. We got the first five wrong and then we got the other 15 questions right. Some of us went up the street at 8:30/8:45 so that we could see the 9:00 fire works which we have a good few of from there. That was fun. We had a prayer time to pray in the new year at 11:30 and then watched the midnight fireworks at 12. It was a good time to share with others and to remember that God is always with us even when it is a new year and things seem to be changing.
