I am hearing the messages..

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel I may be missing something, or just getting slack and maybe not right on the mark.

Last week, was the first week back for your group, and when he started speaking he said the very words I had blogged that day. I was so excited, living alone you can let doubt creep in.

Silly of me, but would rather check myself, than run ahead of myself.

As I walk around, I chat to he lord, all the time & even in the garden ( my neighbour might think I am nuts, but so do not care) LOL, this week church was in my home. As I prepared and cleaned up, I said again, “Lord I am cleaning & I invite you, father God, the angels and saints”.

Before the last song was sung, I felt him enter the room (then the words of the song “the king is here”). How exciting, and last night watching I’m a Celebrity get me out of here.

I keep saying to others, what would Jesus do, take the time to stop and take a minute. Last night Richard said it, I nearly jumped for joy. I feel as I walk around thinking and chatting to him, praying for the world to hear him. To get confirmation like that, yahoo.

He is right beside you waiting for you to make him the most important and instant part of your life, again he won’t come, unless YOU ask.

An example, in getting a procedure done, having trouble, I said out loud, LORD I NEED YOU NOW, help me. Bang they got it, job done and I said thank you, very important to add.

Trust him, share with him, he loves YOU….

Its how you see things

Recently a friend posted a picture on facebook, which read “proof dogs go to heaven”

Now I don’t know what you may see, but I see a lion with a fluffy tail. And dogs don’t have souls, so they can’t.

But as I always say, its how you perceive things, I always see things in another way.

Words and power

I thank God for where I work, I asked and he provided.
I pray that the business grows and prospers & for my boss. Some have made mistakes and brought loose lips in play, but I pray that the standard set, shows to those who require to hire. And work roles in, 100 fold.
Many times businesses forget to care where I work has not, ever done so.
And I get frustrated but mostly its with myself, I take back any negative words and ask for forgiveness.
I humble myself before the king as I ask this prayer.

Steward

What does this mean to you, I love to save money, it becomes a great game.

I like to get the most out of every dollar I have.

Many will make a rissole or patty out of meat, expensive is what comes to my mind.

So I take half mince, 1 quarter grated zucchini & 1 quarter carrot, then the breadcrumbs, herbs egg and flour. instead of getting 5 or 6, I can get 13 a bakers dozen. Growing my zucchini, even cheaper. This recipe I vary slightly but its so versatile.

So filling, but I always think to myself, being a good steward. Is being awake on everything, don’t let the world convince you through adds, that convenience is best.

A little effort, on your part whether its time, tithe or task, is worth so much more.

Picking and growing herbs, drying etc, yes its fiddly. But I always think to myself, if I expect him to do it all for me, then why can’t I do the same?

I believe its food for thought… return the favour.

Man I can get narky..

Yes little old me, I was so cranky and I really didn’t know why. Then he showed me, living on my own, you get to a point you do not like to be told.

And that was the key, so I got angry at myself, for being lazy, instead of being told. Then I told myself to grow a pair and get over it.

Sometimes you have to be severe to yourself, to build again.

This is a lesson I am dealing with, because I am easy at giving but, taking it is hard. Especially when you know, its the truth, so not quiet out the other side but I know he is right and I am not.

So, today is a new day, and its good to be pushed, for out of the crushing and the pressing he will bring new wine.

And that is what he is trying to do in me, and I can be stubborn but you have to know when to get out of your own way.

Life can get in the way

So many times we run around, like a chicken with our heads cut off and forget about how we need to plan our day.

But what I have found, if I don’t make time immediately for him as I have my breakfast and read my 3 pages, then I forget and run out of time.

Without him, nothing goes the right way, without him, I cannot function, without him, I have nothing.

So here I go again, its 2019 and things need to change, he is first and not last. He is the reason I live and he gave life to me, he has saved my life, so I need to get out of my own way and put him first.

I need to walk more as if I am him, do as he would do, and if the world doesn’t like it. Its not my problem, its theirs.

So life can wait when it needs too, he is mine….

How would Jesus behave?

Many times, sheer rudeness baffles me, I was brought up that the different between animals or bogans and us, was manners.

Walking in front of someone, “oh excuse me or sorry”. Bumping someone, “sorry”.

Or just offering a hand, “excuse me, would you like me to grab a basket for you”.

Again what would Jesus do?, walk around with sheer ignorance, hmmm food for thought.

Thinking of someone else, driven by his father, not money or status, again hmmm.

I clean my house, ready for his presence and I do it with gladness, I tell him I love him, why because I do, he is my father, my brother and my friend.

(Someone recently said to me, they saw Jesus putting his hand behind them and greeting them in my driveway) as I said to them, in the word it says that he has no place to lay his head. Well I have two beds he can pick which one, but he is always told by me, that he is welcome anytime, this is his house, I just live in it.

I am the exception to the worlds rule and he will wait for your invite, so invite him in….

Just be calm, smile and share the love

So many this season are tooting the horn, frustrated, stressed and just plain over it. Why, because the advertising  etc shows, that if we put the effort in we get joy.

Hang on, stop right there, if we just show joy, joy will come back. If its about what you will receive, how big, how much its worth and not the giving, you got it WRONG.

Just enjoy being with those you are around, leave the legacy of grace and kindness.

I am determined to show love and like the other day at the post office, the lady who helped me, said, “I hope I feel as happy by the end of today”.

What did I do, swing my arms wide and said, “Merry Christmas darling”. This cost me nothing, it was a act of kindness that hopefully touched her heart.

Its what I treasure the most, everywhere I have gone. I put my arms up and raise my voice and say, Merry Christmas, safe holidays and laugh.

This has changed where I have gone, where I tread, where I have the ability to share joy, I WILL.

For the Lord granted me freedom from condemnation and I will share the joy I feel. Nothing will ever stop me from doing this and I smile as I type these words, for that is my joy.

Sharing what he has granted to me…be blessed

Let the light in…

Yesterday I had the opportunity to share with someone about my most recent breakthrough.

As the sharing began, it was like hearing what had happened or been in my mind before.

I was able to share the light I have, now. I prayed for her and I know the Lord is watching and the angel are protecting her right now.

I know from experience its about giving in, surrendering, knowing you are not the one with the plan, but to start and trust that he will do the work.

Surrender, trust and faith, letting go, hand it to him, trust that in his right time and season, he will do what has to be done.

Just go out and enjoy living, with grace and kindness.
