The last couple of days have been a worry. We found out that we have some problems with our support. Anyone who is in ministry will appreciate how uncertain things can be at times. The good news is that there is always a godly man in the mix who understands and goes the extra mile to help out. The not so good news is that I have to start planning an unexpected trip over to the States late August/September time. So, let me take this opportunity to all you guys who are reading this blog, to point me in the direction of people who might be interested in supporting our work here.
All that aside, we have so many reasons to be in a great mood. Amy was appointed Deputy Head Girl at the Academy!!! I am so thrilled that the school recognises the qualities we have known Amy possesses. We are sure both Amy and Darcy, Amy's good friend who got Head Girl, will have a positive impact in the school during their final year.
Yesterday was a good day! Got some time with my dad in the morning and had coffee and a chat. Visited with Maureen Keeble who has kindly agreed to make up the curtains etc. for our newly created puppet stage. Maureen has also agreed to have a BBQ at her camper van on the beach during our kids scavenger hunt next Friday as part of our campaign with the Harding students. I spent a lot of yesterday getting things made for the hunt - manna and quail flags, ten commandment markers, name badges etc. etc...
Class last night was excellent. I was a bit less focused that I normally am, but when it came time for the lesson I was able get it together and finished up with a good challenge for the guys to consider the dilemma of standing before God without accepting Christ. I am thankful that they continue to give room for the word and I pray that it continues to take root. There was one little set back tonight - Richard picked up a nasty cut over his eye in a freak mis-timed coming together of his head and Thomas foot. For the next 10 minutes I felt like a boxers cut man as we got the bleeding to stop and the swelling to calm down. After a wee while all was well again.
Today I had the blessing of going to both Central and Anna Ritchie schools. As always I left both schools thankful for another opportunity to influence the kids and to let them know they are important. That will be the last for three weeks as from Tuesday we begin campaign and the schedule is full of opportunity - I am so excited!!!
Well as Tigger would say, "T.T.F.N!"
