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

The other night I spoke about how God is restoring my life to a lovely group of women.

I shared this scripture as well which I love-

Ephesians 3:20

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us.

There where so many years where I just drifted along in life and following what others wanted me to do.

I didn’t really know myself and want I wanted to do.

Now that I have had a change in jobs and I am now a Chaplain things have changed.

I didn’t really realise until I was talking to a friend about all the opportunities and experiences that I have had since leaving my last job and becoming a Chaplain.

In the last 2 and a half years I have learnt so much and I want to live a full and abundant life.

I have also met the most amazing people.

I am also able to use all that I have experienced and have learnt in the years that I have been caring for children.

I am also on a mission to share Princess Heart Journey, which is my passion to making a difference.

I have been stepping out lately and sharing what I am doing with Princess Heart Journey.

I have written a song about my experience and now I am available to speak and share with women and girls about my journey.

I feel that now I also want women and girls to find their identity in God and how important that is.

It takes courage to step out but I know that I am not doing this alone.

I am also looking at setting up an Eating Disorder Support Group in Perth. So I am working on a few projects which is great.

I am really excited to see what happens this year.

What has God placed in your heart that he what’s you to do?

You may be already doing it?

Who can you mentor who can you help?

Your experience your life is your legacy.

Who will you be passing that onto?

Who can you encourage, who can you journey with?

Let me know how you go.

Will share more tomorrow.

Loves and Hugs

Day Fourteen #makingadifferenceinmay2014

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

This is taken from my book Princess Heart Journey which I am still working on. My book is a work in progress and after last night I feel that I need to place a timeline on when the book needs to be finished.

I would like it to be released in September this year.

Ooohhh that sounds a bit of a big step and I am up for it now. I love a challenge.

One day I was just so angry about my illness and what I had gone through that I decided to write about what it had done to me.

——————————————————————-

(It does not deserve a name)

It has stolen years from me

It has kept me isolated

It was my best friend

It controlled me

It took away my dreams, hopes and desires.

It kept me small

It made me frail

It turned my bones into chalk

It bullied me

It gave me no direction

It controlled me

It became all I’ve known

It kept me weak

It left me frail

It was dark, ugly and deceiving

It did not have my best interest for me

It was loud

It left me empty

It left me broken

It made me feel invisible

It scared me

It was not my best friend.

Imagine having a friend like that.

——————————————————————-

I remember that when I had finished writing IT I felt better it was like I had released it and now it had no control over me.

I want to make a difference and I hope through sharing my testimony and writing about it that I can help people realise that there is hope.

That there is restoration and that there is a full and abundant life for them to live. Yes you do have a future and it is to be enjoyed.

I will be sharing more from my book in the next few weeks.

Hope that you are encouraged and inspired.

Will share more tomorrow.

Day Thirteen #makingadifferenceinmay2014

May 13, 2014 by Tracey Buckley ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Life and the Single Christian Girl………….

Today I have just been feeling quite flat not sure what is up with me.

Good things are happening and I am grateful for them.

Maybe it was because it was Mother’s Day and I desperately would love to have a child. I think that it was just a reminder of not having children.

I know that things will pick up with me and it will be all good.

It is also good to acknowledge how you are feeling and not stuff it down.

So that is how I was feeling today.

Tonight I was really blessed to be able to speak at WOW which is Women of Worth. I love this Women of Worth and they are amazing women.

While I was driving to where I was speaking, I felt energised I felt awake.

I am so grateful for the experience of being able to share what I am passionate about.

I had been questioning the need to keep sharing my journey but after tonight it has stirred up my passion to make a difference.

I want to be someone who is Encouraging women and girls, to see their potential, to be a voice for the voiceless.

Also I want to be an advocate, to be a mentor, to be an encourager and to be a role model.

Thank you so much to all the wonderful, amazing, inspiring and encouraging women that where there tonight.

I am so blessed to know you.

I am also reminded to finish my book about Princess Heart and I will be working on this.

Will share more tomorrow.

Loves and Hugs

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

I seriously do not know what happens to my Mondays.

I had a bit of a sleep in today although my alarm did go of at the regular time that I usually get up for work.

So that was turned off quickly.

Today I have spent my usual running around, crossing of my things to do on my list. My loooong list.

It is a sense of achieving something today.

I had to go to Bunnings today, I am not really a Bunnings girl. So I really didn’t know where to find anything.

You know where you do that looking up at the signs, you hope that anything will just jump out and lead you to what you need to find?

Well it didn’t happen and I needed to find someone to help me find what I needed.

I suppose you are wondering what I was doing in Bunnings, was I renovating, was I looking for plants, was I birthday shopping, or was I restoring some furniture?

Well, none of the above. I am speaking tomorrow at a women group and I wanted some beautiful pebbles that I could write something on.

I found the pebbles finally, oh my goodness they had such a great range and then I had the difficult decision of trying to find the right ones that I needed.

I eventually found these beautiful white shiny stones.

I am going to be using them as a prayer reminder for tomorrow’s talk.

I think that I will need to go back to Bunnings to buy some more they are what I have been looking for. Also the price was very good.

I did notice a lot of Men go to Bunnings, no I won’t be hanging out there trying to find a husband.

Okay let get back onto the subject, ha ha.

So I have also achieved another task, I have set up a powerpoint display and wait for it have added the music onto the display. I am amazed.

I am hoping that it will work when I need it too. I always find some tech difficulty when you are trying something new, but that is okay. It’s all good.

Productive Mondays.

Will share more tomorrow.

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

Today in Australia we are celebrating Mother’s Day.

Happy Mother’s Day, to my Mum and to all the other Mums.

We celebrated Mother’s day by visiting my Mum and then we all went to a café to have coffee, tea and snacks.

This morning I also went to church and I am attending a new church which I love.

The message was great about solving conflict, effectively.

Something that I think we all need a little help with.

This morning I was so caught up in Worship, I could have stayed in this attitude for a while. It was peaceful and calm. Love to worship.

So now I am home and reflecting on the weekend. I love the weekend. There was a time where I worked every Saturday night for about 10 years. Now I think what was that about? No wonder I am single. Only joking really.

So now you can see why I love my weekends. I am making up for lost time.

I really enjoyed making the crown for my niece yesterday. It’s the little things that can bring you so much joy. I love seeing the joy when you hand make something for someone. Made with love.xx A new idea has been created.

I might have to start my own crown making business. Mmmhhhhhhhh! I already have three orders. Family……….

Just some random thoughts for today.

Just keep writing, just keep writing, just keep writing…………………

Day Ten #makingadifferenceinmay2014

May 10, 2014May 10, 2014 by Tracey Buckley ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Life and the Single Christian Girl…………

Last night I saw that I had a missed call on my phone it was from my sister in law. So I phoned her back.

She said that my niece wanted me to make her a crown because I have lots of craft items at my house and it had to have a nine on it.

Of course I had to make a crown for my beautiful niece.

So I arrived home last night and thought about what I did have at home and if I needed to go out and buy more items.

This morning I woke up and at about 7.30am I decided to start on the crown. I wasn’t really sure what I was going to use to make it or how I was going to decorate it.

I found some white card and started to design it.

I really enjoyed it and I had everything that I needed for it at my house. Amazing!!!

I worked on it for over an hour. I really enjoyed it.

The final result I was very happy with it.

I think for only one day’s notice it was worth it.

I love designing things and I am so happy to be able to give it to someone.

So this afternoon I went to my niece’s birthday and the crown was received with a big smile. There was one very happy nine year old Queen.

It is amazing what you can make and I love receiving handmade items. They really do come from the heart.

Now I have a few orders from my other niece’s and nephew for their birthdays.

It all good, an Aunties role is to spoil their nieces and nephew and I think that I am achieving this one.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful niece enjoy your day.

Will share more tomorrow.

Day Nine #makingadifferenceinmay2014

May 9, 2014 by Tracey Buckley ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

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

I have had such a full week and my weekend is looking full as well.

It’s all good though.

I have one of my beautiful nieces birthday tomorrow.

So excited to celebrate her special day with her.

I found this quote that says-

Just because a person smiles all the time doesn’t mean their life is perfect. That smile is a symbol of hope and strength.

I love this you don’t know what a person has been through or what they are going through.

A smile covers so much.

To be able to smile after going through hard times is amazing as well.

You also don’t have to have it all together to try new things. If you wait for perfect conditions you may miss out.

Go out and have a try.

I had been looking at my next challenge that I want to try and I thought about going on an Ariel Trapeze.

Mmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Sound a bit adventurous, sounds a bit scary but I have gone on a big flying fox. So my thought is maybe I can do this. I love a challenge.

I have found a place to be able to try it.

All I need is to muster the courage to phone up and make an appointment.

Yes I will do it.

Will share more tomorrow.

Loves and Hugs

Life and the Single Christian Girl……………

No Weapon Formed Against Me Shall Prosper

I am claiming this over my life today.

It is powerful.

It has been one of those days.

You know those days where you feel a bit sensitive, a bit emotional a bit, umm not quite yourself?

Well that was how I was feeling today.

It really wasn’t just one person or one word.

It was just me feeling blahh!

Although sometimes people do affect you and words can hurt.

My emotions overtook me.

I knew I was in for one of those days.

I could feel the tears building up in my eyes, you know when you get that stinging build up in the back of your eyes.

It’s the tears starting to build up, I think that I did tear up a bit. Then I had to stuff it down.

We all have those days and that’s okay sometimes we just need to have a good cry. A good cry cleanses you as well.

I think also I received a message from some very good friends who live in Melbourne now and they asked me if I was coming over to Melbourne. They also said it would be great to catch up.

I actually really miss them and I think that the message added to how I was feeling today.

Today I did end up having a great time helping at the Mother’s Day stall. It was so much fun and I enjoyed it.

I definitely think that I need to go back to boxing.

Hope that you had a nice day.

Will share more tomorrow.

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

Oh my goodness last night was very busy for me.

I was going through my list of what I needed to do. Then I was thinking about what I had to do for work the next day.

Ooohhhhhhhh!!!

Do you ever have days like this?

A bit of an overload but that’s okay, I love the diversity in my life.

I love living for a purpose and living on purpose.

May is making a difference month.

Last night I was going over my testimony which I am sharing tomorrow and I am really looking forward to this opportunity.

Then I was preparing for the next school holidays which I am working a few days. I love the planning, I am planning for 6 sessions. It strange to be thinking about the next school holidays we need to be able to have the program ready.

Then I was working on another talk that I will be sharing next week.

Then in June I have another talk that I will be sharing. So I was working on that.

I also was preparing my blog and doing my daily 365 days book.

Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did get every done that I needed too.

When I arrived at work today I also was able to complete my entire tasks that I needed to do.

I love that feeling.

The feeling of being able to achieve your to do list.

It is a sense of accomplishment.

Living a full and abundant life.

Will share more tomorrow.
