Holidays

I can't believe that in 5 weeks time I will be in sunny Queensland!! Not only that but also celebrating my best friend's special birthday, how amazing. I'm sure the time is just going to fly as I have many things to do before I go. This week is our 7th study in KYB for this term, only 2 to go for this term.

Lovely Weekend

We have had a wonderful weekend with our 2 daughters & sons-in-law here. We belatedly celebrated Mothers' Day and caught up in general. Today we went to my Mums' and had a delicious lamb roast lunch, all our childrens' favourite! We have also been blessed with wonderful soaking rains, God is so good!! The farmers are working long hours sowing their crops, this is the best break they have had in many years. I can hardly believe we are up to study 5 this week in KYB, only 4 more after that for this term. Then it's off to sunny Queensland for me to celebrate a special birthday!!

Busy Week

Last week was a very busy time with quite a lot of babysitting, a night out at the movies and our first get together of KYB groups for this term! As if that wasn't enough, we had a house guest to stay last night, a meeting after Church then a fellowship lunch, no wonder I'm feeling a little tired. I must say, all of the above was enjoyable and I thank God that he gives me the energy and ability to cope with it all. We will begin our first KYB study for this term next Friday, I can't wait.

Easter and a new term!!

Easter here was very quiet with just Karen & Rob here for Saturday & Sunday. We were blessed in having a Pastor come to give us a preaching service with the Lord's Supper on Good Friday. On Easter Sunday we had a lay reading service, a wonderful celebration of our risen Lord & Saviour!! Now the new term starts on Monday, all KYB ladies will meet Friday week to receive our new study books - always exciting - we will be studying Nehemiah, will be very interesting!

End of term

Well, today is the end of term and our last KYB study on Matthew. I just love my KYB ladies, they are so encouraging, caring and committed to their faith! I will surely miss seeing them over the next 2 weeks. Next week end is Easter, it is hard to believe it is nearly here already. Karen & Robert are coming for Easter, it will be great to see them again. Today is also our wedding anniversary so we went out for dinner, very nice, now I think it's time I went to bed.

An amazing Day

Last Monday was Labour Day here in Victoria, so we had a lovely long weekend. Then my week became very busy, I had to reorganise my days so as to be able to go to Bendigo on Thursday. It was a special day celebrating the 50th anniversary of CWCI (Christian Women Communicating International), they are the organisation who first set up the KYB study groups. I was amazed to hear that this began here in Australia and has now spread to many other countries!! But I'm jumping ahead of myself, firstly I had to get up at 5.30am to be on the bus at 7.15, we arrived in Bendigo at the huge Baptist Church complex about 9.40, we were served a delicious morning tea, then it was into the day's proceedings. We had a wonderful day of singing, a guest speaker from USA who spoke on "Living in Jesus' abiding presence", and a Christian bookstall (always very popular).More delicious food was served for lunch and afternoon tea, then it was back on the bus and home about 5.40pm. We were tired but exhilarated, next morning it was walking at 6.30 as usual, then off to KYB at 9.15, it was great to be able to share all of this experience with the ladies who couldn't make the trip!
