Ok, in answer to your question. I'm in Ballarat. Hang on a minute... why is a Strath girl in Ballarat? Well, I'm on team there... but not on the Ballarat team. Confused yet??
Here's the story. I'm a Ballarat girl in that I was born and raised withinan hour of Ballarat my whole life, so it's my hometown. Its also where my family live. At the momnet my faily are going thru a bit of bad stuff. My mum has a mental illness which has been at crisis point for the past few years. The rest of my siblings are here, at home, and they're finding it heaps tough. They're tired and worn out. So I'm in Ballarat to help out basically, and give as much suport as possible, and to bring the life of the Kingdom of God into their lives. To show that God IS Good despite the apparent evidance otherwise.
So I'm on "special mission" for a time. I don't know how long that time will be. Mum's pretty out of it at the moment, and it looks like a really long road to wholeness, and she's not enirely sure she even wants to go there. I'm sad to be away from team - the place I've wanted to be for ages, and felt so at home in. However I know that this is the mission God has given me for today.
I'm sharing this because I beg you to pray with me for this family. Pray for healing of mum's mind, and for a willingness to live. Pray for a healing of a lifetime of wounds each of my siblings have to deal with, and above all, please pray that each of them come to know the goodness and reality of our God.

wow - this is a big call Tab, and an important one. I hope I remember to pray as much as I should. Good on you for being sensitive to the Father and his calling. I'll be praying that you can represent him in a powerful way there at home and that your mum experiences the peace that can only come from Him.
Hay Tab
keep up the great work, it is hard stuff that you are doing but with the Fathers help and the prayer and support from your other family and friends you can do it! God Bless you! Maz
