In the midst of change.....

Mumford and Sons gettin me through...

And I'll find strength in pain

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again

Cause I have other things to fill my time

You take what is yours and I'll take mine

Now let me at the truth

Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears

I can see widows and orphans through my tears

I know my call despite my faults

And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope

So come out of your cave walking on your hands

And see the world hanging upside down

You can understand dependence

When you know the maker's hand

Cause I need freedom now

And I need to know how

To live my life as it's meant to be.

- The Cave

Jesus- I pray that it's in your obedience I'm walking. There's nowhere else I'd rather be. It hurts and it's hard. However you're bigger and better and worth ever step and every tear. I believe that but greater than that I trust you with that and with each and every one of my steps.

I trust you.

I trust you.

I trust you.

Today and the next xox

Change

Hurts

Smiles

Mountain Maker, Ocean Tamer

You put smiles on my face afresh every morning!

Surrendered. Again!

Set me apart.

Soften my heart.

Remind me needed.

Speak louder when important.

Still my mind.

Use me for the sake of others salvation.

I'm willing.

Impart divine purpose.

Teach me to listen obediently.

Burden me.

Teach me to love as you first loved.

C'mon Jesus.

I'm surrendered.

Declared.

Heard.

Answered.

40 days!

In light of my last post...I have returned home from my first Wildlife Summer Camp! Yewwww!

Needless to say...Excellence! Needless to also say- NACKERED!

Having done back to back camps I am now feeling exhaustion seep in mentally, physically, emotionally... BUT definitely not spiritually! I've spent the arvo nanna napping my way round the lounge room floor.

Well... without being able to say too much. The last few weeks have set the direction for the rest of the year! Change is definitely upon my life. Nervous? Mmm no. Totally excited to be putting my trust in action and to step out of my comfort zone? Ahhh- Heck Yeh!

As part of some of the teaching from last week I am setting apart the next 40 days and ahh... the rest of my life to be..SET APART?! The next 40 days I am specifically upholding these points in prayer...

1. Commit my decision to move churches, continue praying and speak to those needed.

2. Sacrificially praying about each one of my family members that they would personally know and experience GOD

3. And thirdly in light of all these weddings, praying intentionally for my future husband who's out there somewhere, that God would be daily transforming him into the destined man of God he's created to be. That as I pray God would keep his way pure, holy and SET APART! I truly believe my prayers can make a difference in his world..NOW!

New week

Expectations. God Whispers. Divine Encounters.

I'm soo excited for this week that's all I can get out.

Up in 5 hours for my 1st Wildlife Youth SummerCamp.

Over and out xox

House Sitting

Here are a few handy hints I've learnt...

- Try and pick up dog poo before it rains. Nasty!

- If you don't get to the cat vomit quick enough... the dog will.

- Never go shopping on an empty stomach.

- When you have vistitors over- always go to bed last. Otherwise things 'mysteriously' don't work in the morning.

- Always put the bins out! Even if you feel sorry for the truck drivers and think they deserve a sleep in on Christmas day!

Lastly: make dedicated effort to make the most of: boxing bag, reclining sofas, double bed, foxtel with all channels, peace and quiet, a dog to go running with and a spa bath!

One and a half weeks to go!

Ok wow! Best creatively designed movie I've seen in such a long time, if not ever! I got in my car ...at 1230 at night and felt this overpowering desire that I was invincible on the roads. That if need be I could fling my car on its side to dart around obstacles in my upcoming path. Needless to say I reminded myself that 'NO- my car is not a spaceship' and everyone's safety was held in high regard.

I also have a slight obsession with nature and all things that glow, sparkle and are unusual to the eye so let's just say- I'm captivated. The scenery; forests and mountains and seas...the flowers and vines and creatures...It took my breath away and I'm still waiting for it to return.

There was a moment where the Avatars struck a very similar resemblance to the Israelites (from the Old Testament). The main dude (in Avatar) said something like "they have no home, they have no hope" and it was at that point that they collectively returned to the only answer and hope they knew.... their replica of God.

Their 'community' got me thinking as well. The close knit way they lived, regarding themselves as 'brothers'. Commitment to love and be with only One other for for the rest of their life. The high regard they had for their environment, creation was precious to them...sacred. Life was precious...sacred.

I hope I can live with as much passion as they did. I know it's just a movie but there is always something to be learnt. I'd go see it again- give me a holla' if ur keen!

On another note, just watched Hannah Montanna the movie and shed a few tears. Umm... what's wrong with me?!

Autumn

I'd be your Autumn any day!

We'll be amazing,

I know for sure.

I just haven't met you yet!

December Fifteenth, Two Thousand and Nine

Went for a walk today through the rose gardens just doing my thing.

Unknowingly singing out loud to myself I stumbled across an elderly pair of lover birds having an intimate little moment amongst the blossoms. Ahhh I just wanted to stop and stare, it was just soo.... refreshing?! Soo old and yet soo excited to spend time with each other and share a sneaky snog.

The smiles on their faces were needless to say contagious. So I continued to frolick along my way... with a few sporadic outbursts of giggles... Praying that I too will share that kind of excitement with someone in the days my wrinkles become more apparent!
