Reminder

After an exhaustive weekend and emotions running wild....I found a little reminder

Grace

Precious Abba,

"My heart is ever at your service!"

I love learning about the intricate ways you have weaved yourself through the pages of our History. Again and again we failed you, and again and again your Grace permeates...

The wonder of your love.... I'm left looking heavenward. Smile on my face. I'm in awe.

I love you.

Mother Teresa

So on Tuesday at work I stumbled across a little rainbow. Unfortunately I missed out on the leprechaun but my little pot of treasure awaited. There upon boxes and boxes of stuff delivered to our office was a heap of second hand books. Did someone know my birthday was nigh?

Mel and I searched all through these two boxes of books, collaborating a mini library for the bookshelf up at Stringybark. There in the midst of dust bunnies, sneezes and dead spiders lay this book. "Something beautiful for God." Ahh... I'd finally found it. A book on Mother Teresa's life.

What an amazing woman. To think that a life lived simply devoted to her King could impact the world in the way she did. Of course I imagine she would have struggled living in slums surrounded by death, disease and destruction. But obedience and perseverance prevailed.

I love her. I love what she stands for. I love her cheeky smile and I adore her humility. She was gracious and overflowing with a heavenly love. She was in all of my opnion...

Beauty!

Can't wait to finish the book- soo excited to finally have found something on her.

"What the poor need more, than food and clothing, is to simply be loved and feel wanted."

- Mother Teresa

On the 5th September, Mother Teresa would have passed away about 13 years ago. Hmm... can't wait to chill with her in heaven.

Relationship Advice

Hmmm what to write ...what to write. I walked out of my door tonight and was hit with amazing smells from my mother's garden, fresh clear night ...and I wasn't freezing.

Spring.

It seriously does wonders for my soul.  I love Spring.

The first two days of the season have been pretty epic days. I could list details of yesterday but let's just say... I saw an echidna at work!! Need I say more... it was awesome. I was excited!

And today....well wow! I left the house at 7 am and am now sitting down to rest at 10:45 pm. Such a great day! Just got home from catching up with such a gorgeous girl- ahh she makes me smile. God's daughters are incredible creatures- the world underestimates their strength!

She lead me to ponder the following thoughts... Basically centered on this...

Relationship advice.

Haha...it still makes me chuckle. 

I've had increasingly more and more young girls chat to me about there frustrations, hurts and pains with the boys in their life, asking for advice- seeking answers.

I do my best, I guess most people just need someone to listen to right and encourage them... build them up. I always laugh though as to why they'd seek advice from me.. when I haven't had a relationship in the past 6 or so years. Surely people IN a relationship have a better chance of giving more convincing and real advice and encouragement than what i could offer...right?

Well no... I guess I disagree. As i thought about it. I have plenty of advice. Plenty of experience to draw from. Not only does years of listening and observing friend's relationships prove to be worth something. I've managed to continually mature and fall more and more in love, in a relationship based on faith.

I am content on focusing significant effort into my r'ship with God so that when the day comes, my cord of three strands will be tight as tight can be. I believe it to be the foundational relationship that every human relationship should be based on... and after 8 years of growing, seeking, loving, learning, struggling and celebrating....

I guess I do have just a little advice to offer.

Now that I've reinstated some confidence in my own ability...

Continue to ask away... and i'll do my best xox
