College Life

Hello to everyone! Yes the long lost blogger has returned. I am sorry for the delay but things have been a little busy as we get used to our new surroundings here at 303Royal Parade. The family has settled in really well and the kids have all made some new friends.
It has been a time of great change for our family, not only have we moved house and town but Ethan has started Primary School this year and Amy-Lee has started High School, so there have been lots of new adventures and learning experiences. Of course it has been hard on Zara changing schools as well as she has just started grade 5. I am very biased but I can truly say that the three children have been absolutely fabulous through this whole process and I could not be prouder of any of them. They have made things so much easier for Susan and myself with their willingness to embrace change and new things.I really hope that these two years at College will be years that they will each grow in not just physical ways but that they would grow in their relationships with God.
It has been different the last few weeks being back in a classroom after such a long break, but I am really enjoying most of the classes and I am certainly being challenged and tested. Susan continues to amaze and inspire me, she has very little self confidence about her abilities but she is absolutely killing it here, and is leaving me for dead with her ability to time manage and plan out her responsibilities and due dates. I can honestly say I have never been more in love with my wife than I am now, although spending so much time with me she may not say the same!
We have been assigned to Altona/Williamstown for our first year corps placement and this has been very enjoyable, and I am sure as the year progresses that we will learn a lot from both the Soldiers and Officers of these corps. Hopefully we will be able to play a small part in the exciting things that are taking place with their Mainly Music Ministries and their bold plans for the future.
I had better get back to my book report which is due on Monday, but I just wanted to thank everyone for their prayer support for us as we have entered Training College, we have really felt wonderfully supported and loved. Through all the challenges we have already faced and with many more in front of us we have been continually reminded of how good our God is and the fact that He would not call us to a task He was not going to equip us for. May you each be aware of the Love of God and receive a fresh filling of The Holy Spirit today. God Bless.
