Refreshed!

"...for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.  I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."  ~ Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV)

How inspiring is that?! What a powerful weapon. Contentment is something I hope to always walk in. 

One thing that I have been learning is that not only does God delight in bestowing His love upon us, but He wants us to WANT His love. He desires for us to eagerly chase after all He has to offer. God is so worthy of our efforts to know Him. And when we enter into that place of reciprocated love, there is no room for fear. Because "perfect love casts out fear." That's a promise. And in that is freedom because we no longer care how people perceive us or what we may look like to others. So when we get that little nudge to do something out of our comfort zone, it is a delight rather than a struggle. It's perfect! This is the love that the Father lavishes upon His children.

"What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he’s up to." ~ 1 John 3:1 (The Message)

  

 

 

 

 

  Thank you to everyone I saw while I was home for making my trip home absolutely refreshing! I was so blessed by the encouragement and support of you all! You are all very dear to me. All the best for those of you starting school soon!

I had the privilege of taking my sister back to Australia with me for a few weeks. We had a blast exploring the coast together as I showed her the sights!

Since her departure, the September staff team has had training and times of getting to know each other even better before the students arrive this coming Sunday. We are on the brink of the September DTS! How wild.

Prayer Requests:

• That our staff team would consistently return to Jesus as our source of energy and strength as we facilitate the school,
• For the students as they go about their final preparations before coming,
• And for me as I always always always want to point back to God through my actions and words to represent Him well. 

As always,
Thank you, Bless you and much love,
Moira xoxo
