When I first started this blog- I had very recently moved to the city of Sydney. The whole idea of the blog was to keep friends updated on my life in the new city, and because I was studying, it was an opportunity to reflect on what I was learning.
Three years on, things are very different. I am no longer studying, but working in a job that is hard work but a blessing. And while this blog is still primarily about informing friends, it is also just a way of me processing the things that happen in my life and hopefully encouraging people along the way.
But the big news is that at the end of this year, Tim will have finished his Bible College studies and we will be moving back to Melbourne.
This means alot of changes, such as minor ones like coming up with a new blog name ;)
But one of the biggest things changes is that Tim and I will be embarking on a new ministry adventure.
God-willing- next year Tim and I will be planting a church in Melbourne, in the Suburb of Box Hill.
Even writing the words I suddenly get filled with all kinds of different emotions: the two biggest being excitement and fear! And I think excitement and fear will be two emotions I will get rather used to as this year continues :)
I know that church planting will not be an easy venture. But I love Jesus, and I love sharing him with those who are yet to know him, and even with the challenges, I look forward to the opportunities for evangelism that Church planting will create.
Tim and I (well, really it was me, I'm the blogger in the family) have started a new blog about the church plant. I'd love you to check it out, and start praying for us :)

It is hard to believe that it has been three years since I started this blog! I'm really thankful to God for those of you who read it, and particularly those who have continued to love and care for us even when we have been far away.
And I am thankful to God for the last three years. They haven't been easy, but they have been important and filled with much joy and blessing.
Love B

Wow, that's exciting.
Actually my question is not "why church planting?" but "why Box Hill in particular?"
Ha. The word verification is 'fulness'. Nice.
I'll be going to into "why boxhill in particular" in a post on our new blog soon. Yeah, I think it's pretty exciting too :)
