Sometimes we have jobs and winge and wine until we dont have it anymore.

I have worked in on a tobacco farm, as a young girl my mother was allergic to the leaves. So I stepped in, we needed the money. The deal was to pay her but I did what they wanted her too do.

My next job was in a roadhouse, I waitressed, cooked, managed, sold petrol and started to learn the books. Loved that job because of the people I was able to meet.

I worked in a office, after school bad boss. That is the end of that conversation.

Another I worked in a bakery, that opened my eyes. Never really been one who likes cakes or buns, love to cook but not to eat.

This one was a shocker, I helped on a dairy farm, yuk. I know how young a calf goes for veal (dont eat that), having a cow poo on you is gross. Rotary dairy all backsides pointing in and no where to go.

Next I have worked in a factory that made windcheaters and t-shirts.

One weekend I even cleaned toilets at a raceway to earn extra money, but did it with pride.

Then I had my babies, so I helped out at school, became parents club treasurer, lost property,banking lady, fete organiser, school uniforms, library and office when required.You name it I had a go, yes and they paid me once they new what I could do.

Moved to another town, worked in a newsagency, then office administration and PA work.

The point I am trying to get too, is in every job I have put everything into it. I have enjoyed what I did when I did it. Any challenge was one to overcome, it was never about the title or whether I was the boss or not.

It was finding the JOY, yes I had times I winged. Sometimes you can have managers that should never manage to begin with, but are never wrong.

I love being an indian as some would say, I don’t care what I do next. I don’t care what certificates I have, yes you have to have them to get a job sometimes.

But I am not a lazy person, sometimes you are judged for what you do or don’t do. But working in the city and seeing the high stress of an office, the man out the front delivering the coke a cola looked so much happier.

Find your spot, ask the Lord for the answer. You may be surprised, but what I know, don’t let anyone pigeon-hole you.

It’s not their life, ITS YOURS…

I look around myself and see others, people I am related too. Who are very high maintenance.

I realize, I am a simple girl. I love the basics, a home that welcomes you. A clean neat garden, veggie patch & home.

I can sew when pushed, cook a huge amount of food with little effort. I was brought up being shown, if you want to show love without words, you feed them.

Last night I was doing a facial on someone, but I love doing feet. So off I went, as they sat and cooked under the mask. I washed, scrubbed and massaged their feet. They even went to sleep, which I thought was really cute.

Again, simple thing that really gave me more joy than them, I think.

I love someone who can say sorry, who says happy birthday, even if I forget. I love to admire the things my father created and having an artist eye, I am able to see the many shades looking out at the landscape.

I watch the birds in my backyard and marvel how every day they find enough to eat, how they feel comfortable and have chosen my back yard to have their babies and live. Bonus is they clean up the bugs that my cat doesn’t eat.

I have watched many season’s come and go in my little yard in the time I have been here. It is always exciting when the daffodils start to appear a sign that warmth is coming again.

I know sometimes we get so wound up we forget to just keep it simple. My son has taught me to not think of the many things, but keep it simple and your eye on the task at hand. As a woman, I have already done the task, found faults and come back to the start before others have even got what the project is.

Keep It simple, life is amazing every breath you take. You just have to see it through different eyes.

Be blessed

Sometimes people cannot stand the heat, the pressure gets too great and they walk away.

What I know from my own journey is, things will  only change when you do.

Sounds too simple right. But its true, this past year the Lord has had to bring me back to basics.

Some people have a love of money or a top job. Me, I am a simple girl. I just want to have a job that will cover the bills and leave time for the Lord. To be placed in a position that, he needs me to be. Where he can use me, if required.

I know if you’re trying to follow money, it will be cut off. He wants to be first in your life, he is checking to make sure he is.

He knows with me, it’s not the money or the best things. That is not important, I know I have a job to do, a destiny my father had planned before I was in my mother’s womb.

I have wanted sometimes to run and hide because it’s all felt a little too much. I am human and I am not going to hide the fact that I too have felt I need to breathe.

But what I have learnt is this is a trick of the devil, to say I am not worth it. But guess what I am and much more.

So be blessed today and go and find joy.

Sometimes the passion for my father can get a little too much.

When you’re not ready for the information, this I know because when I first gave my heart to the Lord. I was overwhelmed, inside myself I felt like I was on some ride that was going not just fast, but supersonic.

I know that I cannot put within you what is in me, so the journey is yours only.

Something someone said is, your walk with Christ is just that YOURS, you are responsible for what stage you’re at.

You can only change when you give in and are ready for the next step.

It isn’t easy the walk I have chosen to take, but its the road I want to be on. My goal even when I feel tired and overwhelmed or it’s just too much, is standing before my father.

I am his daughter and in that I have peace and comfort.

My apologies for any upset, much blessings.

When the time comes, we will end up living on the earth with the Lord.

It will be wonderful, bountiful and lush.

But first the bad, read the bible for he tells you. Use the reference, on blood moon, read revelation.

Keep your eye on our wonderful father, for he is all we need.

Yes I am scared because I think of my children, but they will have a chance. I trust my father, the choice they make is up to them.

Fear not for your father  who sits at the right hand of God is coming. To save his people, who knew you before you were a babe in your mother’s womb.

TRUST THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND MIND.

In your presence you and I become one.

When he was on the cross he took my sin and all my mistakes on his body.

For that Lord Jesus I am sorry.

But THANK YOU with every bit of gratefulness.

THANK YOU

I know you have heard it all before but as I sit here about to close.

I am overwhelmed that, I trust him with everything I have and am.

Its simple but, I do love my father, he breathes in me. I don’t have anything special from anyone else.

I just am, so I have to trust him that he will restore the stolen. He will steer my life and my end will be great.

I want to send you love like you have never experienced before, so father please envelop them with your presence.

They cannot deny your love, I ran once upon a time. Now I am yours, surrender to your word and your will.

I love you father, I want people to know that love even if it’s for one minute of one day.

In this crazy world we live, let kindness and truth set them free.

A while ago I asked people to pray for someone.

Well that too has been answered. As you know I cannot go into details but doors have opened and he is faithful in stepping through.

He is making the way for God to make the CHANGE in him.

So from me, THANK YOU.
