If You Had $1 Million….

If you had $1 million, what would you do?

What if you had more?

If you had as much money as you wanted, what would you do with that money?

When Roy and I first moved to Melbourne in 2012, we walked through the streets of Melbourne CBD and looked up at the buildings and dreamed – wouldn’t it be incredible, we said, if one day we could point to all the buildings in the CBD where we knew there was a bible study taking place, a prayer meeting being held, or a person being encouraged through our ministries?

Let All Things Now Living

This week Americans are celebrating Thanksgiving, a day for family and friends to get together, eat good food, and give thanks.  Living in Australia, it’s been 7 years since I’ve had green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce or home-made pumpkin pie.

But while I don’t celebrate the holiday, I like to honour the spirit behind the day by reflecting back on the year and giving thanks for how God has blessed and worked in my life.

Jet Lagged

It’s 2:38 am and I’m wide awake.

We arrived in Kauai, Hawaii 36 hours ago after a 15-hr journey (with a long layover in Honolulu) during which I slept 2.5 hours, so the first night I slept nearly 12 hours! But tonight is a different story.

For Everything a Season

It’s springtime in Melbourne.  My weather app forecasts scattered showers for the next 6 days.  I stare dismally at the boys’ shoes which are torn up with holes – they go through shoes faster than clothes or haircuts. I’ll have to pack extra socks for when their feet get wet.

Rain brings mixed emotions.

For some, rain means cold, dreary commutes with dripping umbrellas.  For some, it means slippery sports conditions.  For others, it means an invitation for hibernation.

But for farmers?  Rain is an answer to prayer. It’s desperately needed for crops, livestocks, and livelihoods.  Aussie farmers are anxiously watching the skies waiting for rain to come now.
