Greetings in the name of Jesus!
Life has been pretty busy lately!
The Red Shield Appeal has come and gone. There have been college (in Melbourne) assignments, College (In Perth) assignments. Sermons, meeting leads etc... But I've loved it all!
Here in Rockingham we raised in excess of $36,000 for the Red Shield Appeal, which is phenominal! The people are so generous and God is so good!
This has been my last week at the Rockingham Corps of The Salvation Army. It's been sad doing things at the corps for the 'last time'. It's been an immense blessing to serve here for these last 2 months.
This coming Sunday is my last at the corps. I'm preaching and leading. I'm preaching on Psalm 139. There's gonna be lots of people coming who are Pre-Christians. Pray that God would speak to and challenge their hearts.
It's gonna be a packed meeting, and there's gonna be a HUGE lunch afterwards!
I'm really excited to be heading back to Melb, But I am also incredibly sad to be leaving Rockingham. I have made some friends here that will be friends for life.
I'll blog more about my final Sunday after it happens!
8 more sleeps 'til I'm back....are you ready? HAHA!
Blessings Abundant!

Mum
Greetings in the name of Jesus!
Today we remember the life of a dearly loved wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunty, nana, cousin, friend and fellow Christian. My Mum - Rhonda Stobie.
It's hard to believe that it's been four years since Mum passed away. It's gone so quickly. She suffered for a number of years with cancer, until God called her home to glory on the 16th of May, 2004.
She was a beautiful woman who loved the Lord and her family dearly. She was, and continues to be an inspiration to many. Her passion for God was contagious. You couldn't help but become passionate because of her.
She was very brave right through her illness and continued to rely on our God for strength. She was a mighty prayer warrior who prayed for absolutely everything. I miss her dearly. We were very close, more than just a mother and son, but best friends and she was amazingly instrumental in my journey with God.
I have very fond memories of my Mum, memories that I will cherish forever. I'm thankful for the time I got to have her for and I look forward to the day when we will be reunited in glory with our great God.
I love you Mum! Miss you heaps! xoxox

15th of May 1990
Greetings in the name of Jesus!
The 15th of May is a very special day in the Stobie calender!
It's a date we celebrate each year, and a time of great celebration and joy!
Let me tell you why....
On the 15th of May, 1990 (18 years ago), in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray, a wonderful event happened..... My baby brother, Ronald George Morris Stobie was born!!!!!
HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY RONNIE!!
Today we celebrate the coming of age of a fine young man who loves the Lord with all his heart. Ronnie, along with his wonderful girlfriend, Amy soldier at the Wyndham City Corps of The Salvation Army (formally known as Werribee). They are a wonderful asset to the family at Wyndham City and seek to serve God with all they have. They are inspirational and gifted in all they do. They are a wonderful team, a powerful team for God, and I suspect that one day, they may enter into full-time ministry! Hallelujah!
Ronald, You are amazing! I admire your ability to connect with people and care for them. You are loving and genuine, and you're an awesome listener. You are there when your friends and family need you, and you have such a servant heart. God bless you heaps!
Thanks for all the wonderful memories of growing up together. Memories, I will never forget.
You're an inspiration, and I love you heaps!
If you see Ron, give him a hug, say happy birhtday and thank him for dedication to God and to others!
All of God's blessings be yours on this special day Ron!!

Balga Songsters
Greetings in the name of Jesus!
We had a wonderful time of worship yesterday at The Rockingham Corps! We were blessed and challenged by our guest leaders, the Ba;ga Songsters.
It was a time where the Holy Spirit convicted the hearts of those in attendance! Glory to God!
After the meeting, we had a shared lunch and that was a wonderful time of fellowship. Then from there, the band, timbrels and other corps members went to the home of one of our soldiers who has been unwell and we had an Open Air/Street Party on her front lawn! It was fantastic!
We took the emergency services trailor, had tea, coffee, cake, War Cry, Kidzone, Brass band, timbrels and lots of singing. People were shouting out Gospel Shots and giving Testimonies! Praise the Lord!
I had dinner with one of the corps families, which was wonderful. And then, I went fishing. I didn't catch anything this tiem, but felt really connected with God as I relaxed and rested in Him.
This past week has been pretty busy, we're getting closer and closer to The Red Shield Appeal, so there's lots to do. Only four more weeks to go until I head back to Melb. I'm feeling mixed emotions about it. I'm sure you could imagine!
It's less than a month now until my Appointment as the Assistant Corps Officer @ The South Barwon Corps becomes effective! VERY exciting!
I've been really encouraged and challenged by the words of Isaiah this last week. "We are oaks of righteousness, made for the display of His splendour..." Amazing!
May all of our Great God's richest blessings be yours today!
