Holidays!

Oh dear, how time has flown by since the last post! It seems like ages ago since David and I were living apart, as he has been home now since the first week of November!! YAY. Since his return, we have had a whirlwind of events, conferences and happenings up until today, and it definitely feels like a holiday is needed and on the horizons!! :)

We spent a wonderful 5 days with Peter & Christine in Perth and their awesome church there. It was such a relaxing and restful time, and it was great to meet up with everyone who are part of Peter & Christine's networks there. One thing that I came away with from the trip there was the value of relationships and I came to really appreciate and love Peter & Christine so much more! I couldn't believe how natural and family it felt to be there with everyone..... it was truly a blessed time and I can't wait to meet up with our Perth family again.

Once we came back to Brisbane from our Perth trip, it was back to the grind and so much was perceived to be on the horizon for Breakthrough Nation. We just completed our BN conference with all the Directors of divisions and eldership teams from around BN and it was truly an experience of forging things together that have never been seen before; but also a challenge to really delve deeper into the depths of God's heart and mind for what this thing "nation" is that we have been called to! Still much to do and much ground to cover, but I was so grateful for the time spent together with everyone from around BN. Always great to catch up with family and build God's house together.

Sooooo with all that's happened, all I can say is BRING ON THE HOLIDAY, and let us all be merry and joyful as we enjoy sweltering heat (maybe only for those of us in Brisbane??), BBQ's, lazy days, movies, swimming, good books and GREAT COMPANY! Hooray.
