Hello everyone!
We had quite a few messages so i guess there are still a good number of people out there! (I felt a bit silly asking if anyone was still tuned in afterwards)
I was told of people still praying overseas in places like Thailand and India and we know Georgina is prayed for by the Howells and their churches in the Phillipines and a few churches where she is still on the church bulletin.
It was a great encouragement.
Some folks asked how come with so much prayer she isn't healed? - if only i knew!("In the world ye shall have tribulation" yeah we's been gettin' some tribulation! but so have many of you in one way or another no doubt)
Still God has not changed. He is still on the throne.
Georgie is not as sick as she could have been but is still a bit congested and the seizures have been worse again. Every time she gets really sick it is so hard all over again as we think will this be the last few days now. A friend contacted 11 intercessors from her church (Dubbo CCC) the other night to have them pray also. It is amazing that there are still those with faith. Faith that God hears their prayer - and this faith not of ourselves....
We have been praying a lot for our former pastor from Cobar - Ian, who has battled with oesophageal cancer. He had a major operation removing part of the oesophagus, part of the stomach, lymph nodes, veins but is now home at Forbes and going quite well. I rang him the other day and he was his same old cheerful self. Just the same. It was a great encouragement. He needs prayer.
We heard from Heidi down the coast and her family is going great. We got to know Heidi and her family at Ronald McDonald house. Her little girl had a form of leukaemia but she is now in the clear. Ange and Heidi used to take the Ronald McDonald house bus with various mums out to Hillsong on Thursdays for the "sisterhood" meeting. It was such an encouragement to them all who were battling so many different things with their babies. Heidi's whole family came to make commitments to God. Some people we knew had children who passed on into glory. These were hard days and amazing days - praying through each illness and the bond of the ladies together who knew what each medical report meant for one another's children and how they came to rely on one another to pray. There are so many stories- some complete miracles of healing, some sad ones too and some with hope, but they're probably not really mine to tell.
We have lately been reading on prayer(of course), election (don't understand it all - just glad we're part of it),
Something to pray:-
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know".
John 14 1-4

Well no sooner did i write that message yesterday than i got home yesterday and found Georgie with a temperature and chesty again!
This frequently happens though why this so suddenly we don't know. She has been good and there hasn't been anyone around with any wogs. It is always so hard to see her getting sick just when you think she is going well.....
I just heard this verse again
Matthew 21v 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

Thursday 19th
Dear friends we are all well and have been enjoying the Christmas break.
Greg and James went fishing with his cousin Pete and son Scott to Adaminaby for a few days. 4 fish in all and had a great time. We went for a walk up to Kosciusko one day which was fantastic. It was a beautiful clear day.
People often ask us how is Georgie? and has there been any change? can she talk yet? etc. so mostly we just have to say no not really. From time to time she is much more aware like yesterday when we were doing some stretching exercises with her and she was trying to sit forward and swinging her arms to let us know she was feeling it. So yes she doesn't just lie there unaware. Sometimes she will be agitated and if i sing to her she calms down.(at least someone appreciates my singing!)
The weather has been hot during the days but is mild enough in the late evenings to take her for a walk in the wheel chair down the road. It was beautiful yesterday in the late evening with the sky all purple and the moon already up, horses running in the paddocks and the reflections in the creek still full of water.
Some things to pray for:-
God's continued peace over our house.
The nurses who have become a bit familiar and lazy who cause tension at home.
For home care support to continue (there is some talk that some of the funding may dry up)
For Georgie to improve
Thankful that like last Christmas Georgie has had a good month.
Em as she leaves home and goes to Vanuatu on the 7th Feb
We are thankful to all who pray and friends who encourage us.
Ange and i have been reading Spugeons devotions which are very encouraging reminding us that God is a good God and we can rely on Him and that He answers prayer.

Monday 3rd Jan
Happy new year to you all!
We had a lovely time at Kurrajong with Anges mum and dad at Christmas and not a single thing went wrong.
We were able to take Georgie down with us in the car which was about a 4 and a half hour trip. She handled it just fine.
It was great to be able to all go away together for a few days and was the first Christmas we have all had down there for 4 years as a family.
We took her for a couple of walks around Kurrajong. The climate there is so much more pleasant than Dubbo where it is often too cold, too hot or too windy to take a little girl prone to chest troubles for walks. So we made the most of it.
Some folks from Kurrajong Baptist came up to the house to meet her. They have been praying for her since the beginning. Thank you to those people who have sent us encouraging messages of continued prayer.
We are all enjoying being on holidays together and geting a lot done. Greg and James have almost finished building a shed together and so feeling a sense of achievement. It's good having Em and James around to help look after Georgie, who has been reasonably good for the past week.
Only 5 weeks until Emily heads off to Vanuatu for six months.

Hi there just thought i better put something down as it's been a month since the last post.
It is very wet up here. poor wheat farmers - so much ruined crop but so wet now after such a long drought. Creeks and rivers are full and flooding and with more wet weather coming who knows what will happen.
Em finished off her HSC. Thankyou to all who have been praying for her.
Georgie has been very unsettled for some weeks now and has required more medications than normal for seizures which is very sad.
At westmead a skin biopsy at their request was taken and we were told just a thin scar would be left but it opened up as the stitches dissolved early and so it will leave an ugly scar near her shoulder and still has not healed. The site where the central line came out is great and nothing but a small pink dot remains.
Most of the blood tests etc that were taken at Westmead showed that Georgie is probably in better health overall now than what she was when she left there two years ago.
