The unknown/best life

This defined by the world's standards would be riches, fame & prestige.  What happens when you haven't acquired all of these things?  What happens if living your best life looks completely upside down to the world's view?  Does it mean that this is not your living your best life?!?

I don't think so.

What if we redefined it by our standard?  better yet why don't we just use God's standard?!!

Easy? No! Worth it?  Yes :)

I say this because when we're in charge we take control of our destinies, we decide what our purpose and motivation is for living.  When we choose to surrender this to God, it's super hard cause you're never in control.  Like you have moments where you can think yes I've got this, I'm going where I want to, and then humility comes ha!  This has been a consistent thing in my life that's happened.  Nevertheless I'm glad God doesn't give up on me.

I've been reflecting on my 29 years and am in awe of how much of it has been points pivotal to where I am now.  God has been so kind, consistent & faithful.   I don't say this to boast in me but in His ability.  He's always been up to something & its only been lately as I've gone from living based on my experiences of faith to being open to what He's doing that's new.

I went to Colour again this year which set the theme of what I feel has been my life these past months.  It freaks me out how much I'm realising the spirit has been moving within my life.  I've had numerous times where I've had conversations & connections that I could have never orchestrated on my own.  All things that have been new like not the new where I've seen God do it before but like never seen it before.  It really has felt like my best life as I've allowed myself to be open to what God can do if I just open up my eyes, heart & legs to it.

It hasn't been a bed of roses though, obvs the attacks have come BUT nevertheless my God has been so faithful & true.  Like He ALWAYS IS.

If you are in battles of fighting with your flesh, familiar & experience based faith I encourage you to take a step in faith in being opened to the potential of what God could do differently this season for you.  God doesn't require mountain loads of faith to move, just a small step of obedience.

Trust me you'll see movement in your life from God that you could never have even worked for or conceived for yourself!!

God loves you BIG!!!

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...

A revelation of love

Last night during quiet time I really felt like the Holy Spirit made me realize the value of God's love for me during the worship song of like incense.  I've always known that God loves me, but I really felt God's presence show me this love through it, and it's stuck with me for most of the day today.  As you can tell this season's so full on.  I'm more appreciative of the time that I just get to sit, sometimes  I do struggle to just sit and do nothing but I know its for my benefit.  So this revelation of love, came fully to me after just feeling tired and overwhelmed by everything retreat.  The good thing about it is that I'm learning that its not my strength but by His spirit could feel His love for me last night and just felt so thankful for everything He's done so far for me and my family.  I've been stressed, worried and anxious and felt so good just resting in Him. Could really feel God's presence last night in the quiet.  Really realize ...

Thank you Mum

Dear Mum, I write this post in honor of you for the woman that you were to me and the impact you continue to have on all of us.  You have been my Nurturer from conception to your passing, your love for us never ceases to amaze me.  Your selflessness is one thing that I know I'm always going to be thankful for.  You were always putting our needs ahead of your own even right to the day you left us.  You were an amazing mother that always went beyond what you needed to some people would say you babied us but that was just you and I'm always going to be grateful for.  The laughs, growlings, hidings and the pickups and dropoffs are things that I'm missing the most. Your loud voice is what I miss a lot of too, and your out of tune singing and me growling you about the way you pronounce cold!! I know where you are and when I eventually do see you again mum I want to make sure I made you proud.  I remember lying with you that night and you telling me how proud yo...
