Showing Love

Last week I watched this amazing movie called "Furious Love" it was awesome so it got me thinking about how people show love and God's amazing love at that towards others.
Yesterday I was on the Bus and I saw two different people get up from their seats and offer it to someone that was a little older than them. it was just so beautiful to watch.

Each week I get the privilege to read the Wayside Chapel weekly letter and today again I read an awesome encounter of God's love.
see below
One of our volunteers stepped into my office yesterday with eyes filled with tears. She said, "You don't know why I'm here at Wayside do you?" I wasn't too sure what she meant or why I would worry about why she was helping us. She said, "I'm here on a community service order. I'm only here because I've done something wrong." By now the tears were flowing freely down her face. "Same" I said, "Welcome home."

I love that- what wisdom and what love.

I encourage you If you are keen to be encouraged to sign up to getting it weekly as it is awesome.

well lets keep looking for opportunities to Love like JC and be blessed when others show us that love as well. (my Housemates did this this week and it was so lovely).

New Year

I love it how the New Year brings new beginnings. although every day is a new beginning we seem to just try new things often in the new year. Yesterday I was listening to the radio and people were ringing in saying what they were not going to give up rather that what they are going to give up. I thought about it and like the positive. one person said they weren't going to give up enjoying spending time with their daughter and I thought I am not going to give up spending time with my Heavenly Father.

What a year 2009 has been lots of challenges and Joys but most importantly God has been there through it all and i am so thankful for that.

Faithful

I love that God is Faithful. He is always so close to us. He is just awesome.

This last week I experienced this more and I am just so greatful.

Conference

What an amazing weekend last weekend was.

I went to a conference at Chruch Called Men & Women of Honour and we had Danny and Sheri Silk. They are Amazing. God has blessed them with a great message of His Love to share and they are doing it.

I have been encouraged and inspired and am not challenged to be more like Jesus and love as He did.

more to come

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
