so much to tell

Well it has been a while since I have blogged not because I haven't wanted to but because I have been busy and then haven't known where to start.

So lots has been happening.

Firstly today is my Mum's birthday so happy birthday mum. you are such a beautiful woman and I admire you so much. I am so grateful for all you have done for me over the years and I love hanging out.

What else has been happening. Well I am on workers comp at the moment I hurt my back moving boxes at work so I am on suitable duties which is good but a little frustrating as I just want to be able to do things. Having said that though I have had to rest and some of that time i have chosen to spend with God so it has been good. He has taught me about the importance of rest and that has been good.

the other week I was driving home and I was watching the trees move in the wind was reminded how much faith is like that we can see what it does through the effects it has. I love watching the wind. It is amazing.

I went away with my family last weekend to Wombeyan Caves and it was awesome. as I was on workers comp I took it easy and read books and just enjoyed the creation and being in a different place. we used to go there every year as kids and it brought back great memories.

some of the books I have read recently was one by Don Piper about heaven. It is called 90 Minutes in Heaven. It was great.

I also read a book about being single and how to make the most of it. It was good to.

both those books I found in a box when we were cleaning up.

God has been teaching me lots which has been great.

I was able to watch an ex student of mine get baptised and that was awesome. An amazing young girl who is changing the world.

well that is all i can remember right now.

It has been a good couple of weeks

Walk for Hope

Last week Dan Widdowson From Hope103.2 and James walked from Gosford to Seven Hills to raise money for Operation Hope. we raised around $16000. It was awesome.

Commitment

Well over the last couple of days I have witnessed amazing commitment from Dan Widdowson and the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angel James who are Walking 87 or so kms for Operation Hope. They are walking from Gosford to Seven Hills. It is a fundraiser in which Dan and Hope103.2 is doing the Walk for Hope which helps Wesley Mission raise money to send kids from disadvantaged backgrounds a chance to go on a camp.

It is awesome. They are doing a fantastic Job and I am so proud of them.

There commitment to finishing is huge and even though they are tired and sore they and pushing on towards the goal. So I am inspired to do the same. When you are sore and tired push on as we have an awesome reward in Heaven.

Keep it up Dan and James.

A Friend

I have this friend that always teaches me new things about who I want to be and why. she is so beautiful in all aspects. She is beautiful on the outside and on the inside. Her Heart to be like Jesus is huge and she stands firmly on the knowledge that she has been created and called by Him to be just like Him and she is. She has supported me through lots and shown her persistence to see her friends and family know Jesus. She is patient and sees potential in everyone. She always sees things from others perspective and she never gives up on people. She is often with those who no one understands or wants to give time, and she really is a Rose whether amongst thorns or not. She stands out because He stands out.
I am following her lead or even a better way to put it is that I am following her leaders lead.
I am empowered and encouraged and like Jesus and this friend want to see the gem in everyone.
I hope and pray that my friend is blessed abundantly today and always and I am going to join in praying for her friends and family as I want to see my friends prayer come true.

Mac

I am now a proud owner of a Mac yay! i am excited abut not having annoying things happen with the computer. 

fun so much fun

Hope

I love what Hope stands for. The potential to change, that things can get better, the light at the end of the tunnel will come, that the future is full of exciting things both challenging and fun. That God is always with us.
I love that we can hold onto Hope and run with it to see God's beauty and Glory shine. I love when you see moments of Joy come as Hope has been trusted and held by someone who is struggling with something.

I love seeing young people just live out the Hope you had for them and then rise to the occassion and be supportive of their friends, hang out with the firends and encourage one another.

I love growing with people and then looking back and seeing the journey you were on and how you have overcome things.

I love that when we make mistakes that we can hope and know that the mistake isn't what matters but what we do afterwards that counts.

I have Hope and Faith that God will continue to show the way.

Hope for a better future for all. That is my Hope and I am going to do my best to see that happen.
