Goodbye to our House in Petrie

Well, after a lot of thought, calculations, prayer and advice, we decided to put our house in Petrie on the market. We've decided that we are staying in Vancouver for Nathan to finish his Masters at Regent College, and the rising interest rates in Australia were causing us some concerns. The house was put on the market one week ago, and we have just signed a contract! We praise God for providing our lovely house, however we also thank Him that we could use that investment as a way to invest in studying God's word. The sale will be unconditional come the end of March, with settlement in early May.

Mareesa is finalising report card comments and marks this week, and will be glad when the stress is over. Nathan is progressing well on this term's assignments, and has just written an interesting paper on "The Metaphysics of the Trinity: Bridging the gap between faith and reason". Maybe he'll summarise it and put it on the blog one day! Our weekend series on Exodus and Liberation continues to provide food for thought, and we have our last segment on the 14th/15th of March. Nathan needs to write a 15-20 page paper on a topic of his choice from Exodus by the end of term for that one.

Last week we applied for a position as residential deans at a Christian residence on campus, however we won't hear back until the end of April regarding shortlisting and a second interview. Should we be successful, it would provide discount accommodation and benefits right near Regent, and a small salary which would be very helpful with Mareesa finishing work in June.
