A new angel in the family

Once again, God has blessed us with the addition of another beautiful angel to our growing extended family - our new nephew, Matthew Miller was born on September 11, 2009 weighing in at a whopping 9lbs and 14oz, kudos to my beautiful sister in law for her strength and thankfulness to God for blessing her with that strength.  We have yet to meet our new nephew, but were are looking forward to seeing him in the near future - he will know his favourite aunty (cough cough lol).

We continue to pray that God will bless us soon with our very own addition, but we know that all things happen in His time - and that whatever He has planned for us we truly hope and pray that we will be content with it and in Him.  Sometimes its difficult to push our human nature aside and try not to get hurt at the fact that we are getting older and still havent been blessed with our own child/ren, but lately when these feelings come to mind I am reminded of Abraham & Sarah and the promise they were given for a nation of plenty, as many as there are stars in the sky - and especially of Sarahs silent giggle at the mention that she at 99yrs will bore a child, but as God's word is forever true - it happened as He said so.  Which got me to thinking that if God could bless Abraham & Sarah with a child at the ripe age of 99yrs - then at 31yrs old, I have absolutely, without a doubt nothing to worry about.. because I know this is true - God knows our inner hearts and true feelings, He knew us before we were created in our mothers womb, and He wrote our life's plan.  He will bless us when its the right time, all we have to do is be patient, and serve Him in everyway we can.  I leave you with this song of praise, i le suafa o Iesu, Soifua (in Jesus name, farewell)

I love You Lord

and I lift my voice

To worship You

O my soul, rejoice!

Take joy, my King

in what you hear

Let it be a sweet, sweet sound

in Your ear.

God Bless you All.

September Update

Ok so its been 4weeks since we arrived in Utah, and we are loving the new challenges placed before... in truth, there really isnt as much challenges here as we've had in the last 2 states we've lived in, but on all accounts we are blessed to be where we are at this time.  And despite some worries, we love it here.

Ben and I are now working, I have been working for all of one week, and Ben has been working for 2weeks, finding work soo fast and in this economy AND in a new state is just one of the many blessings that God has shown us, among the other blessings is having a place to stay and food in our tummy - thanks to my awesome Uncle and Aunty and the whole  family.  We do miss having our own place but we know that God will go before us and we will be well on the way of having our own place and eventually owning our own house in His time.  In the meantime, we will remain patient and wait on the Lord.

As for my job, I love it... the people are great, and most of the people we've met have been sooo friendly, my job reminds me a lot of being back in NZ with Jackie and the team, and the amount of NZers and Australians here just makes me that much less homesick.  Other than that, we still miss our friends and families in the FL, AZ and CA states and esp back in NZ and Aust but we are very blessed to be where we are at this time.  Thank you Lord for your never-ending love and blessings us both during our transition.
