The best is yet to come!

One week after the most inredible day of my life I now find myself a happliy married woman spoilt with love :) Im reminded every morning when I wake up how good God has been to V&I giving us each other.

V is already demonstrating lots of good husband qualities and though marriage does present it's own challenges & more opportunities to iron out our differences we do make sure that we have lots of fun along the way and laugh often in between hard conversations which Im sure every newly wed couples will have to learn to navigate through. God's been so gracious towards us in so many ways helping us to stretch constructively in this new phase of life & bringing the right couples to support us as well as share their wisdom with us. Im now so much more in love with Vince than ever before, it's so great to have a husband around the house and even better I no longer have to catch MASSIVE spiders & kill mossies at night coz V does it all!

We had Vince's family with us in our little crib in Rosebery for the first few days after the wedding, it turned out to be an enjoyable time for all of us so guess I didn't need to stress afterall since his family was of much fun to be with especially his 1yr old nephew Nathan who is just so adorable!

We are looking forward to our honeymoon in Jan and can't wait to meet the kids in the Phillipines who will get to goto school coz of the generous giving from our guests at the wedding. We raised nearly $3000 for the Hop-e project, V&I felt so privileged to be entrusted with much and are prompted to top it up to whatever amount for 50 kids to be put through the learning program next year. We are definitely feeling the stretch financially especially after we sat down with the ANZ financial planner last week to talk about our long term financial plans but God has been nothing but faithful in His provision for us as a young couple and it seems the more we give out of a place of gratitude the more He meets our needs in the most unexpected ways.
We are so overwhelmed by the very nature of God and the evidence of His faithfulness that He does not withhold good from those who love Him.

It was so good to be back to church again this morning after being away for a week. Im excited about getting His house ready for the christmas production coming up next weekend which is going be WICKED! Lots of exiting things happening @ Hillsong throughout next weekend including Christmas Spectacular (St&Sun) and Christmas Festival on Dank St (Sun)! Anyone who is around Sydney next weekend don't forget to come along and be part of the celebration!
