Distractions
With news public about life in the Knaggs clan, I would admit to being a little distracted. As you would expect, we're trusting God and believing Him for grace sufficient for every change in life. He's always blessed us with His love and will do so going forward too.
We're praying that our focus for present responsibilities and duties will not diminish as the excitement of serving in a new vineyard germinates. We regularly pray for an increasing of our capacity to love, care, believe and trust. This is clearly one of those opportunities for us to enjoy even more of the fullness of God in that context.
We are blessed by comments given here and posted on previous blogs. We are blessed by God.
Matthew 5:6 (NIV)
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."

Proverbs 8:32 (KJV)
“Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.” In my reading today this verse stuck out, I don’t have a clue why until your blog this evening. I know that you and your lovely bride will keep focus on the things here to do, as there is still someone here who God will send your way to bless and witness to, as He prepares those wonderful things He has in store for you in Australia! Bless the Knaggs house!
Hi from Australia. Awesome to be having you in our territory! (Even though I will actually have moved overseas by the time you are here.) Have been keeping up to date with this blog for the last month or so and have been really encouraged by what I have read. We will be blessed to have you! God's grace to you.
All friends and prayers from the USA and AUS are welcomed. Thank you each.
Know you're busy with preparations for your exciting challenge. Jill Ker Conway has written about her life in Australia before she moved to North America. (She later became the first woman president of Smith College.)If you "have time" you might want to check out her Road to Coorain. I have only read the sequel, True North, but would imagine Road to Coorain would be equally engaging. (And supposedly debunks some Crocodile Dundee views of Australia.)
