These are the days!

We will rejoice and be glad in them!

The past few weeks has been a wonderful time of life and ministry.  I've enjoyed the many delights of ministry, as well as all the bonus catch ups and coffees on the side!

Ministry at Church has been a wonderful encouragement.  A few priceless moments:

Conversation in the back of my car between two teenage girls: "I used to be like that once, but I realised that I had to change my attitude towards them."
Super shy boy: "Joy, I just really need to talk to you sometime"
One leader: "I'd really love to meet and read the Bible with him."
Thirteen year old: "How do I live for Jesus' Kingdom in every day life?"

Being on campus is always a highlight.

- a really cool gospel conversation with some international students
- a couple that I read the Bible with became Christians last week
- new Bible reading groups and a chance to read the Bible with a new friend

And every day life has so much joy and delight:

Monday evening walks by the creek

Spent a couple of sweet days with Olivia and Sabrina from America

Footy Times

Took some of our youth group up to the Northern Suburbs to visit a Church, visit a Mosque and meet some refugees living in the area.  A great time of learning and serving.

Had a sweet catch up with the Vines family: chatting about ministry - current opportunities and new ones, played with guinea pigs, did school pick ups and more!  So great to see old friends!

Moved back into "my mum's basement" - Japanese style!

Coffee Times - and heaps of them!
