Life and the Single Christian Girl………….

Yesterday my phone had frozen and just would not work.

Today I went to the phone shop to be told that my phone was out of warranty and they couldn’t help me.

So I went to another shop that sold electrical items and the person serving me gave me a discount. Yeah! So now I have a new phone.

Yeah!

I have had a really nice day and tomorrow I will be back at work ready to go.

This week I really want to focus on enjoying every moment, to really focus on what I am doing.

Over the next few weeks I am really busy and it is all really good things.

I don’t want to become overwhelmed with what I have to do.

I am going to take a day at a time.

I have a lot to look forward to and I cannot wait.

Tomorrow I have my work which I love and Wednesday I have a meeting with all the Chaplains in our cluster.

I am really looking forward to catching up with them.

It has been a busy term and it’s great that we all get to see how each other are.

There is always lots of laughing and coffee.

Thursday is the dress rehearsal for the drama group at school that I have been helping with.

Saturday I am attending a first aid course, so I will be up to date with that.

I don’t want to go through the week worrying about my to do list.  I know that things will get down, whether I worry or not.

Enjoy the journey.

My saying for the week- Enjoy the journey.

What will you be enjoying this week?

How will you make sure that you are enjoying each moment?

Will share more tomorrow.

Life and the Single Christian Girl…………….

I haven’t really been following the topics for the writing challenge 101.

Today I really feel that I want to describe a day in my life.

I wake up early, I have always been an earlier riser.

I get myself ready for work and then I leave.

I drive to work while listening to worship CD’s and singing along. My car is my practise area. I love singing.

My drive is about 40 minutes.

I work up in the hills which I love it’s beautiful and such a lush and lovely environment.

My work day starts and I must say I love my job.

I start with making a list of what I need to do and who I need to see for the day.

I go into the staff room and chat with the teachers who I just find so lovely. They really value their students.

I then will do some paperwork, which I don’t mind at all.

I was saying to someone this week that I am so glad that I can touch type. It makes my reports easier.

Then I will go and visit the students that have arrived before school and chat with them.  I love that part.

Then as today was assembly, I attended the assembly.

I must say that I love assemblies that are like mini production and I love how the students really shine.

All their hard work is rewarded.

I spoke at assembly today which I also love.

Then when assembly had finished I went to visit the Kindy and Pre-Primary students. They are always making and creating exciting things.

Then I have recess in the staff room where I am able to chat to the staff and see how they are going.

After recess today I taught a Zumba Kids® class to two classes.

They were amazing.

After that it is lunch so I spend some time in the staff room. I have my lunch and then go into the playground to see how everyone is going.

After lunch I will see the students that have asked to see me or their parents have asked me to see them.

I spend time with them, I am going to say quality time with them.

I love journeying with them, encouraging them and letting them know that I care about them.

After seeing the students that I need to see, it is then time for them to go home.

I walk down to where they are picked up and chat with them and get to see their parents.

My day is full, it’s packed and I love that.

I love the diversity of what I do.

I love seeing the changes in the students.

I love it that they know that they can come and talk to me and that I will give them my 100 percent attention.

I am very blessed.

This is one example of my days, they are never the same.

There is so much variety and I really enjoy working with the amazing people that work at the schools.

Will share more tomorrow.

Life and the Single Christian Girl………

Today I have been thinking about how I think.

Confused?

I am thinking about how your thoughts can shape your life.

What you think about can change your life.

What you think about can change the direction of your life.

Where are you heading?

If you think negatively then your life may be negative.

Have you ever been around people that drag others down, that talk about others behind their back? This can if you let it change how you think and you can easily get caught up in in agreeing with them. You will walk away not feeling happy or inspired.

Negativity = Negativity

But what about if you changed your thinking to align with what God says about you.

What if you looked and could see your future changing for the better, to see yourself reaching your dreams.

Athletes when they are training imagine themselves in the race they go through the whole race in their mind. They also put in heaps of practise and dedication.

They have a goal and they go for it.

I know that lately that my vision has been in tunnel vision.

It’s like I am forgetting about the great things that are ahead for me.

I need to dream big, write the vision and make it clear.

What is it that you want to achieve?

What is it that has distracted you from it?

I know for myself that there is so much that I still want to do.

I would like to travel more, to study, to be able to speak more, to share my testimony, to make a difference and to be an advocate.

I have other dreams that I want to achieve.

Dream big!

So today I am reminding myself to dream big, to think more outside of the box, to go for things that I enjoy doing. I also want to enlarge my vision for myself.

I also am deciding to enjoy life and to bring joy to others and to leave a legacy.

Be encouraged, be inspired, be creative, be the answer for someone.

Will share more tomorrow.

Life and the Single Christian Girl……………

Driving home from work today I was just reflecting on my day.

It was jam packed and I love it I really do. I love the diversity of what I am able to do.

One of my highlights would have to be taking the choir for practise. It is so refreshing and the students really enjoy it.

I find that when I am singing I am truly in the moment.  I am not thinking about what I have to do next, or what else is on my mind.

Singing for me is freedom, I am discovering my voice more and more.

Today also I was thinking about the Proverbs 31 Woman which I have been reading a bit of lately. I have found that the last few months I have been mediating on the verses.

One of the verses I love is When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say and she always says it kindly.

I also like the verse She’s quick to assist anyone in need, reaches out  to help the poor.

I have been thinking lately about being able to speak at other places about my testimony.

I went through a few months this year thinking is this what I need to keep doing.

I was quickly reminded through media and through general conversations that yes I still need to share my story.

My story is one of hope, one of friendship, one of people not giving up on me.

My story is one of recovery, it also lets people know that it is possible to recover.

It’s my story and I know that when I was going through my illness that I was going to be able to share it.

One of my sayings is Today Is A Gift, it means that it is a day that I didn’t think that I would have.

I am glad that I didn’t give up, that I decided to get better that I decided to fight for my life.

I look at my journey and realise now all of the people that I have met, the experiences that I am able to share.

Also the laughs and good times that I am able to share with others.

You really do need others to help you.

I am so grateful for all the people that helped me. I don’t even know if I could find the right words to thank them enough.

They let me have my life back.

Now I know why I have been so impacted by the Proverbs 31 Woman, because I want to be like her.

She is a role model, I want to be able to encourage others who are going through hard times that there is going to be someone cheering them on.

I want to let others know that there is hope.

Also that life is full.

Life is full of wonderful and exciting experiences just wanting to happen.

Dream lovely Dream

Do you need encouragement?  Be encouraged.

Do you need hope? Have Hope.

Will share more tomorrow.
