abundant life

when God promised us an abundant life, thats exactly what he meant -abundance!
We have a generous God.

Trouble is, thats fine when it's stuff we like, that makes us smile, laugh, love more.
What about when it involves pain, hurt, the loss of a loved one?

We have recently had some evening services at church that have enabled us to spend some time worshipping, and glorifying our amazing good, generous God.
Discerning His presence, His voice.
We were reminded of the time when Elisha ran away because he was scared, and God came to him.
There was a mighty wind- but God wasn't in the wind
There was an earthquake- but God wasn't in the earthquake
There was fire-but God wasn't in the fire
then God whispered to Elisha.
God whispered to me
I know how you're feeling, I watched my only son die....

Abundant love....nothing else like it

what are you waiting for?

so you want to change the world?
what are you waiting for?
so you want to start right now?
what are you waiting for?

something beautiful?

It's never too late to be the person you were meant to be...

Take my life and make it beautiful.

I never cease to be amazed by Gods grace. It means we get to have life in all its fullness AND we get to become the person God imagined us to be, if we only open up and allow Him to change us.
We limit ourselves by what we have become, radiographer, mother ,wife- but God knows no limits.
and it's never too late

First Post

Well this is new!
I decided that I would like to start a blog, a sort of on line diary.
I don't think I shall be too worried if no-body follows it
It's a way of putting thoughts, hopes,loves and concerns down on paper.
Loves....
love my family, love that they love me!
love my Lord, saviour , redeemer and friend.
love my church
love my hens and zebbie our crazy cat!
love gardening, re-arranging the house
love being inspired
love the vintage lived in, re-cycled look.
love cooking and I love it when everybody enjoys what I cook!
love to laugh, though not loving how I cry at the smallest thing!!
love how God turns worldly things upside down
love it when things happen that just HAVE to be God
