In our weaknesses he is strong


Hello everyone, I hope you are well. Today I was reading a bible plan on the you version  bible app called make today matter, and init it spoke about weaknesses. Which got me really thinking, it brought to my attention how God used my weakNess today to overcome fear and bring out his strength through me. It's a funny thing weakness, we  the human race don't really like to see ourselves as having weakness do we. I hope today I can encourage you through a little testimony that our King of Kings and Lord of Lords will overcome any fear tactics the enemy uses against you.

My weakNess/fear is women, yeah of all things, the same sex as me. That stands back throughout my life, rejection and being looked down on. Stuff like that. But that's not the point of today. Before we moved down to Cambridge I struggled to the extreme, to spend time with women on my own. I'd panic and my heart would race so fast, there would be times I wouldn't be able to push a single word out of my mouth. A lot of people thought I was a quiet person. This would frustrate me, as anyone who truly knew me, knew I was far from quiet. I could literally talk for England at times. But something gripped my voice and held me back from getting to know anyone. Men on the other hand. Not a problem. I had a lot of guy friends.

What's that got to do with today, I hear you. Praise God. Well I was invited to spend time with some moms at the local garden centre for a drink. I agreed and said I would love to come along. Baring in mind I've never been invited to spend time with ladies that don't attend church. It's always been with people from church. So immediately my heart started pounding. But then peace came over me. As today arrived I started getting abit nervous. And while walking to the garden centre I prayed, I asked God to be with me, to put words into my mouth, I asked him to help me not just sit there in silence, to give me the strength to push myself to get to know these moms. After praying I let it go and went with the flow of the gathering. and to my amazement everything went really well. there was no awkward moments. I can honestly say I left feeling over the moon. Granted i don't know what the other moms thought, but to me it was an accomplishment and a huge answer to prayer. Praise God.

I hope this encourages you, and I pray that God will help you where ever you are in your life. What ever giants are trying to intimidate you. I pray and stand with confidence that those giants will fall. because at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tounge confess he is Lord. So my wonderful brothers and sisters don't let the fear of failure crush who you truly are in Jesus Christ. Be blessed

let's pray.
Father God I thank you for your hand in my life. I thank you that through my weaknesses you are strong. I thank you that I can go through life with my head held high knowing that the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords care and loves me, and wants to work through my life. Help me have the confidence to face life's challenges knowing that you'll never leave me nor forsake me. in Jesus name amen.

Unbroken promise

 Hi everyone I know it's been a while since my last blog entry, you see God has taken me and my family through quite the rollercoaster. For a while I had writers block. I had no idea what to say but tonight while trying to sleep, I had a overwhelming sense to talk about the promises of God. I'm not going to start talking about the promises written in the bible all though each one is valid, beautiful and true on their own. What's on my heart are the unsung promises. You know, those you've been waiting for so long to come to pass. The ones where you could so easily just give up on. Them ones. Hallelujah.  Let me take you on the journey we've just had, and in fact we are still going through because the process isn't over. But the giant, daunting hurdle that was the be all or end all in the process, that's done and dusted. Hallelujah, praise be to God.  To make sense of the process we as a family have been through, it would make sense to give you the back story....

Christian under construction

Being a Christian can be hard work at times wouldn't you agree? There are times you think what's the point. Times of pure enjoyment. Times of frustration. Even times where you question if God is real. We all go through these periods in our life. And all of it is because of the spiritual battle that goes on every day of our life. The holy spirit; working on building us up, showing us how God sees us and wants to work through us. As well as the enemy trying to destroy us, by means of society, what we read, what we watch, other peoples opinions. All to make us feel useless, hopeless and a waste of space. All this so we don't reach our potential in christ. Exhausting right. No where in the bible does it say be perfect or your doomed. God knows we will struggle, stumble, fall short. But in his love and grand plan, he designed the precise moment in time where his son Jesus would come and sort it all out with his ultimate sacrifice. But what I can say is God requires us to d...

It's eternity not just sundays

  Have you ever built a lego sculpture? I have, in fact I did recently. A titanic ship and a army war plane. I fully enjoyed this activity and would go as far as saying it's becoming a hobby. But I haven't done this post to talk about Lego, although it is how God chose to get a message across to me.  You see, building a Lego sculpture requires a lot of Lego bricks. From tiny squares to long rectangular one. All shapes and sizes are involved in the making of a beautiful masterpiece. The end result is very rewarding. Each intricate detail that are put together, every block, every pain staking moment getting the tiny delicate pieces together without accidentally breaking the whole thing; requires time, patience and effort. God is the builder in our lives. When we invite him into our lives he works with us, building on a new foundation that is in Christ Jesus. Sometimes it can be hard and painful, especially when we have someone to forgive/ a situation we need let go off, but the ...
