Undivided Heart!

Psalm 86:11

Teach me your way, O Lord

and I will walk in your truth;

give me an undivided heart,

that I may fear your name.

We have challenged our church people to learn this verse. On Sunday we will see how many people know it. Our children have learnt it as well. But, God has really been teaching us recently that EVERYTHING comes from Him. And, we are to learn His ways so that nothing can hinder us from coming to Him. Today we had our house fumigated for spider cockroaches and all kinds of lovely mini beasts as they call them here in Oz. But, just like a spider web starts little and gets big. Chris preached on Sunday that sin can seep into our hearts and we can be unaware and it can destroy our heart and it can divide our heart. But, we in 2010 as a church in Landsdale are striving to have ONE heart that beats for the Lord. And, we are striving to have a heart that will follow, learn, grow, and serve Jesus Christ! We hope and will continue to pray that this is also your goal this year!

So, as we have continued to move in Chris has been busy setting up the church booking for our building hire of the hall, and he preached this past Sunday in our church and also the inner city church. Please keep him in your prayers as Monday he will start visiting families that have showed interested in our church but are not attending right now.

Our kids have been busy starting on Monday Vac Swim. Swimming here in Australia is VERY important. There is too much water for you to NOT know how to swim. Also, in school you are required to swim as part of school curriculum. And, Makayla had missed a year of classes. and they do this swimming called VAC swim. So, we were able to get Makayla signed up and registered. But, she goes every day for 10 days. So two weeks M-F. And, she has only done two days so far. But, she learnt the first day how to do the back stroke and yesterday free style. Dawson has just learnt how to put his face in the water and blow bubbles which is amazing considering he has only had one lesson and we almost couldn't even get him in water!

Brayden has really started to settle down. He has an appetite and he has started to put his weight back on. He can now take two steps at a time and he is really starting to settle in. He still is not sleeping well. Last night he got up 9 times in the middle of the night. So, you can pray that he will start sleeping again.

I think that is all that has happened in the last week! A praise is that Makayla got her class assignment for the year and she is in LA 7 and to top it off her best friend is in her class! This will be the first time they are in the same class. Hopefully they will be able to learn while being in the same class. But, I am glad that Makayla will not be in her class with no one she knows. Grade one is the first grade that is required in Australia. So, I think the kids go from having 3 different classes in a grade to 6. So, there are many new students to get to know! We pray that you have a blessed week and we look forward to updating you next week on what God is doing. Thank you for you continuous prayers! We know that God is moving here and that we couldn't be doing what we are doing without you! May God bless you!
