Mayfield Prayer # 8 (email in the morning...)

Greetings!

Just have to begin with apologies once more for last weeks email being sent 7 times I think!? Apart from that, if you do recieve this email more than once it may be because your address is listed a couple of times. Let me know if this is happening and I will fix it up.

At church on Sunday a couple who work as missionaries in Thailand came and spoke. It was really good to be reminded of just how important it is to be obedient to God in all things. Whether we are seeing the results of the work we do or not, God just wants obedience. It was great to hear that they had a really strong understanding of that and a good reminder for me. My obedience to God is what is most important. And I was reminded just today of the good news that God wants our obedience and isn't trying to be tricky about it, he will show us what it means to obey him.

Prayer:

- Our rego expires on Friday, we still need to get a few things fixed on the van so please pray that it all goes smoothly.

- Tim is looking for new opportunities for work as his current job finishes in a month or so. He is looking for something which will be suited to a long term commitment so pray for wisdom.

- Tracey is our FIRST shift boss (taking a leadership role amongst the four of us girls for a month). Please pray that she will trust God in this role and not become overwhelmed with busyness.

- Kim had an interview for a Coles job today, I don't actually know how it went because she is at her cafe job now. She is a good one!

- Kylie is busy at work trying to get a four month old into some kind of routine (whilst also getting free hair cuts and colours!) so study is hard.

- Laura is going in to a restaurant tomorrow night (now that I have my RSA) to have a go and get some training. This employment prospect is very good news! Thanks for your prayer, I'll let you know how it goes next week.

- Dad's (Pete V) visit last week was encouraging and has helped get some mission activities rolling. Please pray as we organise an after school club and search for a venue to hold Feast of Stories.

- Police checks are happening at the school (Hunter Christian) so we should be able to get involved there soon!

Thanks very much again for your prayer.
