In Him We Live and Breathe

There's a particular sound that God makes when He's close. It's not just a silence or lack of sound. You can't manufacture it. It's a sound that reaches past your hearing perceptions and into your heart, reminding you He is here, in the now, listening for you too. When I lead worship that's what I'm searching for. The quiet place in His presence where life and breath seem to stand still and Gods breathing and yours are so synchronised you can't tell them apart.

Still Seeking

Christmas and New Year have been and gone. The house seems strangely empty after the last few weeks of overseas family & friends pandemonium and noise. We decided that God really was calling us to Australia and resisted the urge to turn tail and run back to New Zealand inspite of the economic downturn. The kids are part pleased and part sad to stay, wanting to see their friends from New Zealand but hoping they'll come to Oz for a visit.Since then we've been approached to Pastor a small church here in Frankston area and are exploring the posibility. We've attended a couple of alternative Home house churches and thoroughly enjoyed them but not found what we're looking for(reminds me of the U2 song...)
Will keep you posted he he he.
