"God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply" -- Hudson Taylor


Liddy is in something of a tail~spin.





"Everything is happening so fast," she wailed. I just looked at her. Fast? This has been more than 10 years in the making. God's just applying the final touches to what he has been making for 10 years. I have this picture. Liddy is getting it. Everything for the past 10 years has been towards this end.





Even Dearest is spinning. He's never experienced anything quite like this before. I have so for me the speed is yet another confirmation that this is indeed God's timing.





Liddy sent her confirmation of interest in last Thursday. She had her answer Monday. Paperwork is e~mailing to & fro but even though all the paperwork is not finished, even though Liddy has not sent in all the paperwork, Liddy is solid. The Chile people have already been contacted. Liddy now has choices. They will hold a training place open for her or she can go straight into the work, training on the field. God seems to be happy to let her decide this one.





As she began filling out her resume Liddy started getting excited. Everything dove~tailed perfectly for this opening. All the soccer, all the coaching, all the Little Athletics, all the child care Liddy had forgotten she'd done ~ even the retail; teamwork, teamwork, teamwork. Even her surname is Spanish.

Issi is less happy. He knows something is going on. His Alpha Females are constantly coming & going. There is an air of excitement in the house. Yesterday he crawled into Liddy's bed & under her blankets & had a serious meltdown. Yesterday he couldn't even find Dearest & when he realised he wasn't home alone & Dearest was in fact still here, he demanded lots of reassurance. Don't even think Singapore. Goodness only knows what that cat will think when Liddy goes & does not come back.

So a huge thank you to everyone who has taken on the prayer challenge & may we ask for your continued & ongoing prayers. Liddy has updated her own blog & she is about to open a new one to chart her Chile journey & help keep everyone in touch. Truly, we covert your prayers & intercession. Much as I am as driven to send Liddy as she is driven to go, this is not going to be easy. I am finding myself jealousy storing up memories knowing they are going to have to last me a long time & the letting go is hard when you have been as close as Liddy & I have been for as long as Liddy & I have been. Remember Ditz too, who is giving up a sister she adores & who will miss her companionship fiercely because Liddy has always been very good to her, never mind my mother who adores her oldest grand~daughter & her regular visits. We are all going to have to sacrifice something but Liddy is much stronger than most people think & she has always been very sure about this. Me, well, God told me before she was even born that this one was His & I have always known my time with her would be dependent upon God's calling on her life.

I must say, things are never dull when God is in charge of the details.
