Greetings from Quakers Hill, New South Wales, Australia!
G'day from a Land Down Under. A land of kangaroos, koalas, and kookaburras. A land of oceans, deserts, and Vegemite. A huge diverse country that has stolen my heart. I’m a Midwestern American, but I still call Australia home. So grateful to be back home for some ministry, adventure, catching up, and fun with friends and adopted family. Eager to see what God has in store.
“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:14-21)
This has been my prayer and my goal of everything I’ve done through Psalm One Ministries for over 26 years. We need to be encouraged and challenged by these words.
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory,
to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and
that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the
breadth and
length and
height and
depth, and
to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge,
that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
As we learn to follow Jesus through joy and sorrow, love and rejection, comfort and grief, I have seen God do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think. I need to remember that faithfulness when my spirit is dry and my steam runs out. When I have no answers. I am so grateful for the opportunities, open doors, connections, divine appointments, winding roads, miracles, and amazing people in my life.
Many thanks to those of you traveling along with me via the WhatsApp “Adventure Lies Ahead” Team. In the last few weeks, we have traveled 11,320 miles and seen koala babies, quokkas, whale sharks, multi-colored fish, amazing birds, and lots of dogs. And we’ve only just begun! God is whispering, “Say YES!” So I am saying yes. God is amazing. Adventure lies ahead. (Weren’t Neil’s whale shark videos incredible?!?!)
Please keep praying for me as God keeps revealing my home, my family, and my voice.
Grace and peace,
Linda

September 4-6 Pastors’ Wives Conference:
Even though I will be in New Zealand, I will be speaking at the Connecting & Bonding Ministers' Wives Virtual Conference 2026
Pastors’ Wives from anywhere are invited to join us.
C&B Virtual Conference theme this year will be: Anchored in Hope and Faith: Steady in Uncertain Times. Hebrews 6:19 (NIV) says, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” We are definitely living in uncertain times! So we are reminded more than ever of our need for a strong and steady faith one that keeps us anchored, no matter what may come.
