I love spending time with my music mentor in Melbourne. A few year ago we created this.
I love singing.
Embrace what you love to do.
Be encouraged.
Prayer Requests
This has been on my heart this week.
As part of The Heart Project community it is really important that we are here to support each other.
I am passionate about encouraging women to be all that they can be.
Let me know how we can support and encourage you?
Do you need prayer?
Let me know and I would love to pray for you.
Let’s embrace breakthrough.
Change
I haven’t blogged in a while, and I really have missed it.
A lot has been happening for me.
I found out on Monday the 13 of March that my little place where I have lived for nearly 9 years was going to be sold. At first, I thought what!!
I then thought okay maybe this is an opportunity for a new season, new things and new experiences.
I really placed my trust in God during this whole process.
After my first response of okay, then it was the thought of let’s trust.
I looked on the real estate page and saw a place that could be a possibility. My sister also saw the same place and sent it to me.
It is a lovely 2 bedrooms, one bathroom villa.
I phoned the agent and booked to look at the place, my lovely sister and my brother in law came to help me out.
We had a look and then I went home and thought about it.
I then decided that I wanted to have another look and so I did.
I then made an offer to buy the villa, another aaaghhhh moment.
I had an amazing mortgage broker that worked with me and helped me with every step.
I had on my heart what to offer and I stuck with it.
So, fast forward to May 13 and I moved into my new place. Writing this now I have realised that all of this happened in 2 months. Wow!
For me I had such a sense of peace and I knew that this was the right decision.
I really wanted to share this with you.
I really wanted to encourage you.
One of the reasons I wanted to share this was because when I knew that I needed to move I went up for prayer at the church I attended. The Pastor there prayed with me and last week I went up to share a praise report.
I wanted to encourage others that we need community, we need someone to stand in the gap for us.
I sit in my new place and just can’t believe the changes that have happened. It happened in 2 months and I am loving this new season.
Have you been through a change in your life?
How did you find it?
Did you trust the process?
Do you have a prayer request?
Will share more soon.
Friday Night Quotes
Whatever you are going through trust in him.
Pray then give it to God.
Prayer is powerful.
Loving this quote that I found on Pinterest.
Crazy Busy
I love Pinterest and was searching through it one night when I discovered one of Brene Brown’s quotes.
This quote really caught my eye.
Take sometime to read it and then read it again.
It made me reflect about my life, have I let crazy busy be my armour?
Have I let crazy busy be my day to day way of life?
Have I let crazy busy in, so that I can numb other areas of my life?
I don’t know about you but my life is full and I love what I get to do. I really do, I love my role as a primary school chaplain. I love planning programs and investing in others. I love writing, I love being a blogger and I love being a creative.
I am an encourager a cheerleader and I love that.
This week I am on school holidays and I have sometime to breathe, sometime to rest, sometime to stop and unwind. I am very grateful for holidays.
Having this time to stop, I have time to reflect on what is it that I am numbing, I have the time to reflect on how I am really feeling.
Yes, I am going to go there (insert vulnerable moment). Aahh!
To be honest I find myself siting with some thoughts, I find myself sitting in that uncomfortable place, that place that can be very messy. That place that I really don’t want to go too.
That place if I am really honest and think about the real desirers of my heart, I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes. You know those tears that start stinging the ones that you try and brush away?
So where to now?
Let’s be honest with ourselves if we need some support find someone that you can be yourself with.
Find a mentor, it is okay to ask for help it really is.
We need to be kind to ourselves when we realise that we are in the Crazy Busy moments.
We need to encourage one another.
Maybe we may need to see a professional.
Journal, pray and find some prayer warriors.
Let’s be women that can acknowledge the crazy busy, and know that asking for help is okay.
The Cross = Love
Today I just embrace what Jesus did for us.
I cannot comprehend the sacrifice that he had made.
I am so thankful for what he has done for us.
The cross = love what he has done for us is so amazing. I don’t think that I could ever comprehend what you have done for us.
I love you Lord.
Just Breathe
This week I find myself on school holidays. Yeah!
If you have been reading my blogs you may know that I work as a primary school Chaplain at three different primary schools. I love my role, I love the opportunities that I find myself involved in and I love community.
It is a busy role packed full of delivering programs and seeing individuals on a one on one basis. The school terms in Australia are 10 weeks, we have four terms in a year.
So, this brings us to the first lot of holidays for the year.
My thought is that we need to take time to rest, we need to take time to just stop, pause and breathe.
If we are honest with ourselves we need a time to relax, reflect and pause.
When we are giving, and helping others it is important that we take the time to care for ourselves, nurture ourselves and be kind to ourselves.
I am still learning to do this well. I am still learning that it is okay to just stop and just breathe.
I am still learning that as a creative, I need these little times of space and rest to recharge.
I have realised that I need this time to reassess what I am doing.
I need this time to just explore the creative passions that I have and need to do.
It is healthy and necessary, if we are going to run this race well. It takes endurance, it takes a bit of discipline and people who you can be accountable too.
Do you need someone to help you be accountable for taking time to nurture yourself?
Beautiful friend take the time to just breathe.
Just Breathe………………………..
