life is a gift and the giver is good


Psalm 118:24

24 
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Life is a mystery don't you think. I think a roller coaster is a great way to explain it. You have the ups and downs, you turns, your twists, maybe a loop de loop moment. Roller coasters are built in various different ways and they all start differently. Some fast and some crawling up a steep slopes. Life's abit like that, so many different things come into our lives, some for the better some to tear us down. Some times we feel like we are hitting a brick wall, some times life is just a breeze. We may get comfortable, or find ourselves too stressed to sleep and/or relax. Often we feel we've failed, or we aren't enough. There are days were your so excited you could explode with joy. I don't know where you are in this present moment, but no matter what, every day is a day to praise the Lord. I know there are days you know you should be grateful but your struggling or even forget to praise the Lord because of everything going off in your life. I know when we lived in Yorkshire for years I felt like I was hitting a dead end, and I couldn't move forward because of what felt like a wall in front of me. But no matter what I did I couldn't get past it or break through it. I knew deep within we shouldn't be there where we were, but we couldn’t financially just pick up and leave. Although we were willing too should the Lord ask it of us. It wasn't till my husband got the job down here in Cambridge did I truly come to realise the constant peace, and joy and release of the lord. I never realised how held back I was till I was out of my comfort zone and into what God had called us to do. Even though we are not loaded with money, and 90% of every thing we have was given to us, praise Jesus. I can't help but just be in awe with what God has done for us and still continues to do. Our life doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense how we have survived since we got married 6 years ago. But the good lord like his word says he provided and some how made it so we are never without. Does that mean it's been easy, No. we get our challenges, obstacles getting in our way, attacks from the enemy, trying to take us off focus. Trying to make us doubt, or make us question God. But our heavenly Father promises to never leave us or forsake us, he promises provision, to take care of us, his angels encamp around us. No one ever said being a Christian was going to be easy. And if they did then they are lying. Jesus said we'd face trouble and hardships. But he promises solutions and guidance. He's not about to push you into the storm and say bye have fun. No your his precious masterpiece, and he adores you, just released your anchor in him and let him help you ride out the storm. God intended life to be beautiful, marriage to be beautiful. But he also gave us the gift of free will, what we do with it is our gift to him. Question is will it make him happy or upset. don't allow the gift of life to go to waste by allowing the devil to win your heart, and lead you to death. Allow God to show you the true gift of life. Allow him to show you his amazing love, peace and presence in your life. There is nothing on this planet that compares. I remember thinking when I was younger than what I am now, how can people spend hours in prayer and reading the bible and being still in his presence. I used to fall asleep waiting for a response. Then asking God how can I be still when every time I try I fall asleep. But the more God has shown me and the more I pursue to build a relationship with him.I have come to realise how. And now I just love spending time singing and praying and reading the word and being still and allowing his presence to embrace me. Don't panic if you are like i was and struggle. God knows a searching heart, one that is truly eager to be intimate with him. He will help you. God bless you.

Let's pray
Father God, each day is a blessing from you, each day you give us air to breath and strength to get through. Though we don't always recognise what you do for us, I thank you for everything you do do. Lord I pray for the one reading this, I pray that You continue to help them grow in spirit and in truth. May they go each day filled to over flowing with your grace, peace and love in their life. Help them not to compare their prayer life and bible reading sessions with someone whose know as super spiritual. We all make that mistake from time to time but Father we are all on our own race in life. And you won't stop till you have completed everything in our life. I praise your name. life is truly I wonderful gift. Help us realise what we have and be content in it.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

Image
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 ...
