I have two children, my son was born on the day they said he would, he is today 24 years old, today.

My daughter was two weeks over what they told me was my due date, she is 22 years old today.

Yes, two children, born 2 years apart, this was not planned by any one, but God and I still forgot when he turned 21, I will never live that one down.

Darling if you read this, I am still very sorry. I know you said you forgive me, but as I have said, ‘I can remember any number sequence, but birthday’s, forget it.’

Yes its now in my diary, on my computer. That’s why I remembered today, thank god I can laugh about it.

Thought: And just thinking, why is that Happy Birthday song so slow, I like Stevie Wonders version. Its suppose to be a happy day.

If anyone else shares this special day, god bless.

I do hope you all had a wonderful season & a safe new year. This is going to be a great year if I had the energy I would jump for joy.

Anything like me you always get the unexpected, this hopefully will make you laugh.

I got sick the last week before we closed down for Christmas & New Year break. Had to go to the doctor 3 times in a week. New record for me. So still feeling a little weak even today and still not eating normally, but loosing weight a bonus (I have it to spare).

One of those viruses going around and I coped it full on. It was not pretty at all, I was told by the doctor the eat very plain, keep off any acid foods and having allergies my list is very short anyway. This is going to be removed, I am telling you now, I will let you know.

So I was good keep downing energy drinks that hydrate. Food is minimal, but like Doctor Oz said we got the 80’s and started consuming excess, this I am taking as a reverse. If I had of had the energy, I would have prayed over myself to remove the bug.

Anyway my dear friends came and got me for lunch, when I was dropped off because I was so weak, I fell in my driveway.

Why laugh you say, I think I was the only one that didn’t have any alcohol!

I saw the funny side, always do. Fell on a platter I used for the first time, no great loss, but the roast lamb was fabulous. Glad we ate that first.

I was asked to cook that, roasts are so easy. Meat was falling off the bone and melted in the mouth, not bad. I surprise myself all the time, people say I can cook but when it turns out so fabulous that even better cooks than me comment. I impressed myself, yeehaa.

Thinking: I have two favourite cake recipes and yes I never make things by following the recipe. I always think about what works with something and then I am in the kitchen testing it out.

What are they, one is Carrot cake with Lemon cream cheese icing, this cakes melts into one, moist like nothing you have ever eaten before. And you can guess this one I call it Death by chocolate (it’s a heart attack on a plate) lol, it is so rich 900gms of chocolate and 600 cream to start, you have to be good at juggling for this one but both, you could sell in a cake or cheese cake shop. I would even say they could become known like Black Forest Cake.

Hope that wets the appetite, yes no in depth message just starting off with fun.

Just to follow up, God does not hurt you.

But if you hurt someone he loves, then he takes his hands off you.

You are then open, for the devil to hurt, in any way he wants.

Dangerous ground I say!

Yesterday, I went online to view the news of the world. I get home after it goes to air on my television and by the time I have my dinner lately I have been falling asleep.

Back to the point, I saw a father who posted a video message to drink drivers. His daughter was an innocent victim and lay in a hospital bed.

So for the first time, I left a comment. What disgusted me is it became a chat session with a group of people who did not get the point.

I hear all the time people have veil over their eyes and ears. Which they do, I can see it and I even think a blind man could.

I explained how my eldest brother was killed by a repeat offender. They went on about how it’s always been the culture and why change it. Some even said to ban alcohol it was around before Adam one said, “He didn’t even have a clue”.

I sat their thinking, just because no one else has made the change why can’t you. Look outside the box, think the way HE would think, anyway, I had to leave one more message. I was so revolted.

My comment, a girls father thought of you, whom he does not know and asks that you just THINK what you are doing. Drinking leads to desolation and heart ache, arguments and fights. Please stop turning a simple message into something ugly.

They still didn’t get it, as I said, I should learn to shut up!

Another lesson learnt….

The other day I was getting the train, it was the first heat wave for the summer.

Trains were delayed even suspended, I could have got angry and threw a hissy fit but I chose not too. I stood on the platform and said out loud “I take authority in the name of Jesus, these trains will run and you will get me home”.

I was told by a man on the end of the platform, only one train would get me past the block, I got on that one, then got off again before it went in the wrong direction.

Anyway 2 trains later, I started thinking about the movie YOU’VE GOT MAIL remember the part where she discusses how a butterfly got on the train then off again.

I had thoughts with the Lord and 2 stops before I had to get off again, a butterfly entered my carriage. fluttered around me then settled upside down on the roof above me.

So when the train stopped and before I got off I helped it exit the train. He is always mindful of me which is so lovely.

Isn’t God precious, no way is that a fluke or coincidence. That is my father giving me a most beautiful moment between him and me.

If we take the time to just look at the small things he will take care of the rest.

You know lately all I can feel in my spirit is how wonderful the Lord is. I have this overwhelming love, that I cannot explain.

On Sunday we were singing and a song that really hit me, I was trying with all my heart to sing but this overwhelming jaw dropping intimacy came over me. I felt like I was so close to him, knowing his thoughts and feelings.

Tears were streaming down my face, what I loved in that moment is, I gave all of me to him. He is their watching everything we do, he see’s our heart, our thoughts and feelings. But above everything he loves us, not any sort of human love but beyond words.

Doesn’t your soul and spirit long for that, to give back as much as you can, to love him as he loves you. Yes we make mistakes, you cannot walk without crawling but their comes a time when you have to get off the milk and eat the meat, which means to mature in him.

Have an awesome day and remember you are one of the Kings kids. Smile and be happy.

In life we have obstacles and life can seem like a rollercoaster at times.

But you must have the tears to appreciate the joy.

Just think, if you know who you are in God, you WIN.

HAPPY DANCE TIME

I don’t know about you but when someone loves Jesus, my heart begins to break forth.

There is a saying in the world, that people can feel like they are on cloud nine.

With me it’s like I am walking on air, I feel like and as if I have this awesome light shining from within and I know that’s him. I walk upright with confidence and joy.

I am his vessel to be used how he wants, I am willing and ready.

Recently we had a visitor to our church, he said he saw that we were like lantern’s shining bright and full of oil.

I really wish other’s could feel this, for a minute, people who don’t have, a love for him are missing so much.

I am so thankful for being where I am today. I heard someone once say, if anyone asks you which church you go too, why not say “I go to my father’s house“.

This will be short and as sweet as possible.

If you are sick and tired of the devil playing around with your life, then take authority.

We are the sons and daughters of the King of Kings, are we not? Then Jesus is our brother and it says “we have power and authority”. Do you agree? Then use it!!

Sunday we have church, but that night we also gather, we have either a DVD of a speaker or battle prayer. I never pray mildly, I am here to take on anything to fight and win in my father’s name.

I was shown how the devil tried to black out my space in life and how I had this little area of light around me. I could tell he was dancing and playing in front of me, remember he has no remorse, guilt or conscience, he doesn’t care how he may hurt YOU.

When I knew what it was I went after him, I kept at him and took hold in spirit of the authority I have been given.

I thought of myself as the engine of a train, I kept saying over and over “you know your place, you know your place, you bow before me”. Bam! he only had a pin top of space and I brought light to the rest, I pushed him back to know, I am in charge not him.

Remember always, that what happens in the heavenly’s, is a prelude to what will happen in your life. And when you find joy in the lord and praise the name of Jesus you hit the devil with a punch.

Go for it, smack him out.

I think about things I like, then I try to work out how I am going to find it. Then God comes in, I get a peace and a feeling like he just put a smile on my face.

So as my father I say, Lord I would like eg: an easel that I can put big canvas’ on, I don’t care if it’s home-made but this is what I want, then I picture it. Same goes the other day I was thinking of Fabergé eggs then I thought oh I would love a little one. I forget about it and think nothing more about it.

These requests I make just walking around spending time and talking to him whether it be out loud in my head. I never expect to receive them I just do a, if I could, I would love and leave it their.

I love Saturday mornings, I wake up and talk to him, I make him real to me as you are, you who is ready this post. It’s my time with him, that is not interrupted we are just hanging out.

Last Saturday I went out, around midday ended up in Vinnie’s love to have a look you never know what you can find. When I parked the car right in front of me is the easel I pictured and forgot about, $3 what a bargain. Then I go inside, love to check out the jewellery before I leave.

Now I did not have my glasses on to see what I was looking at but an opal caught my eye. So I asked the lady is that an opal, she went to pick it up and I said, “no, what is that next to it” I was diverted immediately. She placed it in my hand. The chain I could see was cheap but the pendent was heavy, so I bought it $4 went online to see what it was and they have affordable Fabergé style pendents from $80 right to the top of the tree.

Isn’t God funny how he works, of all places. He can do the most surprising things, that makes you feel so special and loved.
