Waiting...waiting...

After the the last blog, this one seems almost negative! But there is a lot to thank God for!
We are still not through with the registration... (Did I really think it would be that quick and easy...?) We just had a letter this week. Some small details have to be put straight. The only one that will take some time, and is important, is the CRB check of everyone involved... But we are working on that one! We hope to finish the other papers next week.

Sometimes it is hard to be patient, and to trust God for the timing and all other details! But we need to trust Him, and His timing!
There have been many positives as well, one of them being the visit of 4 Dutch teachers. It was great to have them around for two days, and to speak about Education! They are very supportive, and we are grateful for their prayers, as that is the most important need we have! We can do without many of the material needs, we can make-do, we can be inventive and creative. But we cannot do without people's prayers!

I am just re-reading (I think for the 5th time...) the book: But If Not, by F.M. Knight. It is such a challenging book! I don't normally re-read books, as I remember usually what is in there, but when I find a book very practical, challenging and helpful I do read it again after a while. This book I have read several times, and I have just ordered another copy through Abe books... It's worth every penny they charge you...!
It is so easy for things to slip, to charge ahaed, to plan your own things, to trust that God will sign your decisions, but that books keeps reminding me that Christianity is about Following the Master, serving Him, trusting Him. The title is from Daniel, where the Three Friends say: know that God is mighty to deliver us, but if not, we will still serve and worship Him only...To them, the outcome was up to God, it didn't matter to their view of God, they didn't pressure God into actions in order to keep faithful, if you know what I mean...This sounds a bit rambly, but anyway, it is a very good book, and I am just re-reading it as I said.

Tim Steele is joining the staff at Good Hope School, and I'm very grateful for that! He will be such an encouragement and blessing to everyone!

A few weeks ago we had our conference at Eastcombe Baptist Church. It went really well. Dr Oliver was preaching on the Doctrines of Grace. It was a day of real blessing, and it was a shame that not more than 30 people came! But the cd's are available, if anyone is interested! Dr Oliver was so clear in his messages, and they were practical and helpful. It was nice to meet oter people and to have fellowship over lunch. For those of you who didn't make it: you have missed out on a lot! But there is another chance for you in September, the 29th, when we have a another one-day conference... I don't know the details yet, but when I do know I will put them on my anual blog...:-)
