On The Edge

Happy New Year!  An exciting beginning to 2007! 

I went on the Heaphy track with 6 of my friends over New Years – a true challenge in coping with pain I couldnt control (feet, hips) – sandflies outnumbered us a million to one – and I sure learnt the beauty of a good coffee & a hot shower!! Despite this, the track was “out of New Zealand”, gazing past the Nikau palms at the golden sand beach, waves screaming on the shore & walking under an umbrella of trees – truly beautiful. 

My fundraiser continues to be blessed abundantly, for e.g. donated spot prizes continue to flood in from Jo Seager, Barkers in Geraldine, Surreal Hair & Beauty, Ruben Blades.  Birch Manor are sponsoring the event hall decorations.  Indescribable!!!  The event has now been put on the Christchurch City Council website, this can be found at http://www.bethere.org.nz/ShowEvent.aspx?id=10918.  Check it out.

We are continuing to commit this event to God - all for HIS glory.  I strive to be His faithful servant.  Proverbs 16v3 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed”. 

Huge thanks go out to those people who are getting in behind me and supporting me, helping me to sell tickets, offering their services on the day and finally finding sponsorship.  God is using you people to encourage me in pursuit of HIS purpose.   After all, I can do nothing on my own – “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength” – Phillipians 4v13.

I heard from YWAM Pursuits NZ today, I am the only NZ’er on the course!  Countries represented include America, Switzerland, Canada – exciting!  Looks like our outreach will be in Fiji!!

Its an exciting year ahead..  

Love Ruth
