Feeling stretched but right where I'm meant to be

In a season of so busyness I'm feeling so stretched, in all honesty the most I've been in my life.  I feel like God reminded me that as you live beyond yourself it's normal to be stretched.  I say this because the last few weeks I've felt overwhelmed by what contributing to building God's kingdom.  We had an amazing church conference last week and it encouraged me to keep going perfectly themed it was BY HIS SPIRIT fully learned through it that I can do NOTHING without Him in it.  It's by His grace that He's allowed me to put my hand to the plow like I've been privileged to.  My perspective definitely shifted to instead of focusing on what I was doing putting it back on relying on God, I've been doing a lot by my own strength instead of trusting in Him, found shortcuts on how to do something just to get by.  What challenged me at conference was the fact that although I'm probably at my busiest time that I'll ever be in my life, it's not an opportunity that everyone gets.  It's a privilege and I need to instead of getting frustrated with it, I need to own it and make the most of it.  There's lives to be saved, changed and pressed onto the purposes of God that still needs to happen before my time is up.  So yes, I'm feeling stretched but fully where I want and where God wants me to be, and who wouldn't want this! So if you're in a similar season to me, encourage you to keep running faithfully relying on His spirit!

God LOVES YOU BIG!

The holy work of healing

I sit here on a chilly Friday night pondering what lies ahead.  The weekend, life in general, NZ in general just humanity in general really LOL.  We are almost in May 2022 and all I can say is how did we get here so quickly.  The years almost halfway done. Anyways onto the topic at hand, healing and what this looks like for me and possibly whoever reads this too.  Healing in my experience has not been linear, it has been high, low and everything in between.  I've come so far yet it feels like at times it's off putting wanting to continue.  Insert regressions, lessons and challenges of it.   Facing into the things that I've just felt were my personality or habits that at the time helped me to survive aren't working for me currently.  I was once the girl that overthought everything, I wouldn't triple think things it would be like Quadruple and then some.  It helped me to prepare for any kind of circumstance that could pop up.  This mo...

the struggle in the wait

Waiting; the action of staying where one is or delaying action until a particular time or event as defined google.  There's loads more but for today's post I'll use this one.  Waiting as a christian takes the pressure off of ourselves and put it on God the reality is in my life I find this to be one of the biggest battles I face daily.  The period of my life I'm in there's pressure coming from everywhere to hurry up and do something.  Whether that be to hurry up and start my career, or the most pronounced one in the church for me is to hurry up and get into a relationship so I can get married and then start a family.  It's a struggle that isn't easy especially when all over social media most people my age are getting married, and having babies.  I hear God whisper that that isn't my story it's there's and in my head I know that's true, it's getting it into my heart where I struggle.  Closer to home my siblings are both having children w...

When noone listens

So have felt like I've had the busiest last few months ever.   After mum left had a break then was back to helping out with our young adults ministry at church since we decided on our faith goal of 100 people going to retreat its been really busy.  I've felt so angry, frustrated, tired, annoyed (still am now) at the amount of work that's been happening but no one seems to listen to me.  It's frustrating but I know when I step back the 100 people we take represent the 100 potential God encounters that can take place at our retreat.  When I'm tired, and alone and only doing it with a few faithful people and it's getting too much I get reminded of the verse in Galatians 6:9-10 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.  I'm not going to have this opportunity forever, seasons will ch...
