Rockingham to Melbourne!

Greetings in the name of Jesus!

This last week and a half have been a bit crazy! Now, don't get me wrong, I love crazy, I'm a crazy kinda guy. But this has been a bit of an emotional crazy! Let me explain...

Last Sunday was my final Sunday at The Salvation Army, Rockingham Corps. We had a combined meeting, and it was fantastic. The Spirit was moving, and hearts were open to hearing God's Word. We had a lunch after church and this was a 'farewell lunch' for me. So, people got up and gave speeches, and I shared, I got some gifts, and we were shedding tears. I was really sad to be leaving. I had this really bizarre feeling, because I was really looking forward to coming back to Melbourne and seeing my family and friends, but I was really sad to be leaving my new friends in Rockingham, as we had formed some really great relationships.

Monday morning about 43 people gathered for a 'farewell breakfast' down at a local cafe' on the foreshore, just down from my house! Then we went out sailing and fishing. I'm very pleased to report that I caught 23 fish!

There were some other farewells during the week, with the fianl one being at the airport, and that was fairly emotional. Had some lovely folk come to say farewell, it was really special.

I arrived in Melb (finally, crazy delayed flight) and Dibbie picked me up, it was SOO good to see her. After I spent a bit of time at the college, I went to see my family. That was really, really good to see them! Also spent the day on Saturday with them. We had an 'In-Sunday' at College today in the morning and then at night, I went to my old Corps. That was great as well.

I start at South Barwon on Sunday, which is very exciting! God is so good! I am so thankful and full of praise to God for my experiences in Perth.

I look forward to the blessings, challenges and experiences that God has in store for my!

Can you believe there is only 6 months of college to go!!?? Where has the time gone?

All of God's Abundant Blessings!!

He's alive! Hallelujah!

P.S - This is a special note to a wonderful friend of mine - Linda! You're amazing, and I can't wait until we catch up! Blessings Galore! xoxox
