What's NEW?

I have been off the BLOG radar for sometime now, as most of my focus has been editing David's first book. PHEW! What a process!! But great news.... I have FINISHED the race, kept the faith (and my sanity!! Ha, ha, ha...) and THE BOOK IS NOW READY TO GO TO THE PUBLISHERS! YAY. I honestly can't describe the feeling of overwhelming JOY, FULFILLMENT, ACCOMPLISHMENT and RELIEF I feel right now knowing that the book is ready to be sent off to the publishers. But having said that, David is now reading through it ONE MORE TIME to make sure that he is 100% happy with it, but I should have that manuscript to the publishers within 24 hours. Look out for our updates on his book.... it should be published within just over a month once I click that button and send it through!
Tonga...well what can I say? There is so much taking place in the spirit with that nation that we are just so excited and so at peace with the whole transition that is taking place and the preparation that God is doing on every level. I don't think I realized how much preparation God needed to do (on me personally! Ha, ha, ha... so not perfect! Hallelujah), but I am so fully committed to the process and am loving it in a paradoxical way!
We will be heading off to Tonga at the end of July. David will go first for a week or so, then I'll join him with the kids and a couple of helping hands in tow (thanks Tofi & Beks!). We'll be consolidating the political party on this trip, as well as looking into some of the practical things for our family for our move over. Sounds simple and straight forward, but not really!!
Breakthrough Nation...there is just so much happening all around BN (Breakthrough Nation) that it's getting hard to kind of keep up with everyone & everything. The two groups from Brisbane Embassy that are representing Australia at the World Hip Hop Championships next month have been working so hard for their upcoming challenge. They have a massive fundraiser taking place this weekend at the Sunshine Coast to raise $80,000! GO HARD GUYS! We're hearing great things about the new Wellington Embassy that has just started - big thumbs up to Josh, Ema & your team. Don't worry.... it will soon all feel so normal.... setting up the chairs, leading praise & worship, preaching, following up people, running all the ministries.... etc. Welcome to the pioneering Pastor's life!!
Melbourne is doing massive warfare over their big hairy giants in Dandenong - awesome stuff Oz & Liz and your team! We're with you guys all the way.....
Gold Coast Embassy is having their first ever RALLY for their city this Sunday night. Can't wait to be there with Derek & Raewyn and their troops! It's going to be IMPACTING.
We were in Sydney a few weeks back, and it was so great to be there with Mike, Liz and their community. What a great bunch of people. Look out for SOR's album everyone.... these guys are going to ROCK THE GOSPEL MUSIC WORLD!
Gosh... I could go on... but I think I should stop here before I overblog it!

Anyway, it would be great to hear your comments or have you follow my blogs. Feel free to comment and add any other updates to what's happening in your part of the globe.

Till next blog.....
