Family

God says you are day 12 Family

‘A family is a unit made up of little and big portions.’

My favorite Christmas movie is While you were sleeping, after watching it, I always wanted to meet someone who would show me the world and be my everything.

I always wanted my own family, having somewhere to go, someone to love, knowing both are incredible blessings. I like this quote, it sums up my family; “No family is perfect we argue, we fight, we even stop talking to each other at times, but in the end, family is family, the love will always be there.” I was the middle child of my family and an Aries. So, you could just imagine what my family life was like growing up. (I love you Mumma.) Sometimes, it feels though being the wife and mum in the family is like being the glue. Keeping all the pieces together. Being the stronghold. The day begins when the sun comes up and the day ends when the sun goes down. I like proverbs 31:10-31, an alphabetic, poem on the perfect wife. It sums up the hard labor every woman of God, works for to keep he family together as a unit.

Proverbs 31:15

‘She finds her labor well worthwhile, her lamp does not go out at night. ‘

I hope you all enjoyed 'Mother Ministry' what a great way to start back with what God says you are.

1 Samuel 1:27 ‘this is the child I prayed for, and the LORD granted me what I asked him.’

My children, I watch you take shortcuts through the bush on the path, I watch has you take the shortcut and climb the tree trunks, I watch has you take a shortcut and climb over a fence instead of going through it. Remember going on many bear hunts, “you can’t go over it, you can’t go under it. We will have to go through it. “I can give you hope, even though I get scared that many of your shortcuts in life might wake up certain animals, whether it be a bear, crocodile or a snake. Wherever you are going, God has walked that path and has paved the way. My children, you can do anything through Christ, for he will give you courage and strength.

I hope you are all enjoying you week God Bless Always

'Come as you are.'

“There’s hope for the hopeless and all those who have strayed, come sit at the table, come taste the Grace.” Author Unknown.

God’s message, ‘Come as you are,’ and we all know the hymn. Sometimes it’s hard to be who you are, to be your true self. There is a fear of judgement from others, comparing yourself with another and sometimes our lives are so busy that we find it hard to keep a look out for Jesus passing by, with our special invitation, an invitation to come and sit as we are, the way he wants us, he wants us to be at home, loved and forgiven. There is no reason to stand alone, no need to fear, for love sets no limits and has no end. Listen to God whispering to your heart and remember that anything is possible. Don’t run away, he came not only to the virtuous, but he came to call sinners, every time we fail, never doubt or think he would love you the less. I like Hebrews 13:8 ‘Jesus Christ is the same today as he was yesterday and as he will be forever.’ This makes me believe, nothing can ever change his love for us, for his love will be the same today, as it was yesterday, and his love will be forever. Don’t be afraid to accept that sometimes in our busy, hectic lives we need help.

        Women of Faith and Hope, let me share with you a recipe:

One whole cup to, Climb a sycamore, jacaranda or a ponsana tree,

Two cups too, come as you are,

Three cups to, have a change of heart to except

The invitation to sit at the table with Jesus.

Then sprinkle with an act of Love, kindness and compassion.

You see, I have heard the cry of the poor, those who are needing help.

Do you hear the cry of the poor, broken, those who fear and stand alone?

So many in today’s world need help and there is too many to help, I have seen the writing on the toilet door, I have heard the cries of children, who were too afraid to ask for a book because their family couldn’t afford it, I have heard a lot of hardships and pain. If we don’t hear the cries of the poor and those who need our help. Our own cries will not be heard. Love one another, have faith and hope but also to Love and that is the greatest of all.
I hope you are all having a great week, God Bless Always

My dream as a mother is to see my babies grow up to be happy, compassionate, kind, loving, and respectful. My dream as a mother is not to be perfect or great but to be happy. I might not be able to provide everything they want in life, but I have faith and hope that they know how much I love them more than anything in the world.

I hope you are all having a great week God Bless Always

My Contrite Heart

“Beauty flows from a broken and humble heart that has been tested and purified by God.” Author unknown.
As I stand in the chapel reciting the Confiteor, like the tax collector, I beat on my breast, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. I am confessing or acknowledging my sins, my fault. I am feeling sorry for causing bruised feelings and for having to much pride and while I am beating on my breast, I am being humble wanting forgiveness. I am asking; “God. Be merciful to me, a sinner.” Luke 18:9-14. I am not going to lie, there has been times when I have been like the Pharisee and forgotten, that through prayer, how important it is to pray with a contrite heart. To humble myself, I need to start with a question, Am I committed to changing my attitude, behavior, my ways. Sometimes, we need to reflect on the past, so we can move forward and be a follower of God.  To be humble, I need to take the time to really listen, to hear what people say, I need to accept the setbacks in my life, know at times, things aren’t going to go right, we are going to get knocked down and I guess it’s a matter of how we respond. Do we stay lying down, blaming others, making out that we are better, greater and have so much more to offer than the other person? Or do we get back up, keep going, keep growing, keep learning and knowing that in this life we need to Love, be kind and to have courage. I like proverbs 11:2 "Pride comes first, disgrace comes after, with the humble is wisdom found."
Our lives aren’t a competition, no one should be competing, it’s all about being real, being humble, being able to share who we are with the lives of others and it’s also about being grateful. Let me leave you with a question and feel free to share your answers.

Psalm 115:12 How can I repay the Lord for his goodness to me?
Women of Faith and Hope, I repay the Lord, God, for the mercy he has shown me, the kindness, his compassion. The times when he has cleansed me from my sins, through the truth in my heart, secretly he teaches my heart wisdom. Through his goodness, he has created a pure heart and steadfast spirit. Before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful, offering my sacrifice and praying with a humbled and contrite heart. I repay, with an open and honest heart, with the love, kindness, and compassion, I share with the lives of others. .
May God Bless always, Women of Faith and Hope.

A Woman of Tears

Have you ever felt as though, your gifts and talents were taken for granted? Was the idea of supporting, encouraging and inspiring to Women of Faith and Hope, such a crazy dream, idea or does the person who takes you for granted and says no all the time, feel threatened or jealous. What I don’t understand is, we have so much in common, we have so much passion and desire to see our dreams come true and yes, I do dream, you are not the only one with dreams, a vision, a goal and a mission in life. My heart breaks for women, who are anxious, overwhelmed, feeling hopeless, and their burdens are so heavy that they are weighing them down. As a mum, wife, I understand what it is like to have a basket of washing still sitting on the lounge or in my case on the bed, waiting to be folded and to be put away. I know when the clock says 4:45pm, I must start preparing dinner, while asking my beautiful babies, to stop fighting and to clean up their rooms. It’s not easy, it’s exhausting. Women are crying out to the Lord and continually prays, and he will answer “Here I am.” I guess, it’s easy to push someone away and to never be grateful for what they offer and sacrifice at the table of Jesus Christ or the altar of the Lord. Maybe, they only see and hear the “burden of the Lord.”

I pray for the person who takes us all for granted, I pray they become humble and to start to believe in the gifts and talents of those who walk through the door, they start appreciating and never to take someone for granted. I believed in you, so I am asking you to believe in me. That is what you do, when you love someone, you take them as they are, like Jesus takes you for who you are and loves you for who you are.

We take a lot for granted and we take those who enter our life for granted, the lessons we are supposed to learn, to help us grow as a human being, Sometimes, that is our purpose in life to be a mirror for someone, this is who you are and this is what you have to become, other wise history will repeat itself and you will do it all over again, until you get it right, until you learn your lesson in life. Maybe that’s why so many of us are tired and our souls are weary.

“You don’t see me, but I see you, you don’t hear me, but I hear you, you don’t understand me, but I understand you, you don’t know me, but I know you.”

My children, stars always guide us to our destinations, when we are gazing at the stars, know that God is always looking down and smiling. When you look out your window tonight and say goodnight to the stars and the moon, your wish becomes a prayer and our Lord, God the creator will listen.

My Hope

Psalm 60:1, O God, hear my cry! Listen to my prayer.
I want to tell you a story. A few months ago, I was sick and after I had my iron infusion, they told me that it would take a while to feel the full effect and it might feel as though you have the flu. Well, it took eight weeks but during those eight weeks, I was so sick and was really not happy, happy with my situation, happy within myself and I remember, crying and crying and in my moment of hopelessness, I decided to pray to God for help, for his Fatherly love, I felt as though my only hope was in God and his love for me. Fifth teen minutes later, the doorbell rang and a man was standing there, selling books and the book he showed me, and this is so true, was a book on how to eat healthy, living a healthy life and it suggested, more Vitamin B and C, fresh fruit and vegetables, going for a walk, vitamin D, walking or sitting in the sun. While I was talking to this man and he was selling me on the idea of the book, the wind around us was so strong and I could feel that it was the presence of the Holy Spirit and our Great God, answered my prayer. I brought four books for ten dollars because that is all I could afford, those books where The Ministry of Healing, Darkness before the Dawn (finding hope for the future), happiness Digest, you turn which was a smaller version of the book he was promoting.  I was so surprised, and I said, “O My God!” You answered me, and I called my mum and told her what happened, straight away.
What is your desert of despair, your place of parched hopelessness?
My other place of desert of despair, the place where I was parched with hopelessness, happened a few years ago and ended, when I heard the message of Christ. In all the richness, not only did it find a home with me, I found a home in the message of Christ. I remember through my desert of despair, I placed my trust and hope in the wrong people and before finding my home in Jesus Christ, my hope was in their judgement, and for them to see justice done for me. Until the day I was made to realise, that God sees and hears all through our desert of despair and I must hold fast to hope. Placing my hope in God, I knew he would see justice done, for all the tears, I have cried to him day and night, even when he delays and stays silent before he helps. God is not an unjust judge. He judges fairly and he would never feel as though it was a burden. God loves us and in today’s world, when the son of man comes, he will find many on this earth with faith, faith in him, faith in his message.  There will always be hope in the cross, there is hope in his great glory, from the wind and rain of our storm, comes an abundant of growth and a beautiful life. Every morning, I place my hope in God, to be patient, to never be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer, continual prayer. He is God, the faithful God. My hope is in him.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us be confident, then, in approaching the throne of grace, that we shall have mercy from him and find grace when we need help.

Ephesians 4:32 Be friends with one another and kind, forgiving each other as readily as God forgave you in Christ.

My Children, it is so impossible for us to understand, that we are all the same, we belong to the one body, one spirit, we laugh the same, our tears are the same, a frown conveys the same message, whatever the race. A smile can light up the same way on any face, our emotions are universal, we all have the same human basics of shelter, food, clothing and love are equally required. Our needs are the same and as human beings this is what we all share. Maybe in our prayer, we need to ask the question. Am I ready, am I ready to receive the Lord, Jesus Christ in my life? To listen to your words, to live by example and more? My children, I like this quote “For, to live without him, is to live a life without LOVE.” Author unknown. He died for us on the cross and the cross is the key to heaven. If you are ready, then there is no excuses for bickering, holding grudges, choosing sides and giving someone the silent treatment. Let us also include in our prayer for God to give us more love, to each one of us to share, God wants to be the next to be with us, he is always waiting on the line to be with you.

Mother of Sorrows

This week, I have been mediating on the Joyful mysteries and one of the questions, I was wanting to share my insights with you all.

How would Jesus words have touched his Mother?

Jesus words are from Matthew 12:46-55 The true family of Jesus,

He was still speaking to the crowds when his mother and his brothers appeared, they were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this, Jesus replied, who is my mother? Who are my brothers? And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, “Here are my mother, and my brothers, anyone who does the will of my father in heaven, he is my brother, and sister and mother.”

These words must have hurt Mary. Sorrow was an integral part of Mary’s being and simeon prophecy was the first of Mary's sorrows, and it predicted the other six, the family's escape to Egypt, the parents' loss of the boy Jesus on their way home from the temple, Mary's encounter with her son on his way to Calvary, Jesus' crucifixion. her lowering of the body from the cross, and the body's entombment. As a mum, if I heard those words, I would be terribly offended, my heart would break and yes, I guess it’s true, I am not very gracious in the face of pain. I am trying to handle pain and suffering has a lesson and I shouldn’t keep myself chained, I need to free myself somehow. Maybe bearing in mind, that God will see me through any storm. I do think if someone was suffering or in pain, they could call on me because I know that it’s nice to have someone to listen, to show love, to pray with, be compassionate, be supportive. When I’m sorrowful, I go to my mum, my mum, listens, gives me love and though at times, I get cranky, frustrated and I have attitude towards her suggestions. I know she only has my best interest at heart. I do call on the blessed Mother who helps me, more than I will ever know.

Women of faith and hope, may we listen, may we be there for one another, may we be supportive and encouraging because everyday is a battle and we try our best and that is all that matters, is that we are doing the best we can to survive the battle.

Philippians 4:6-7 There is no need to worry; but if there is anything you need, pray for it, asking God for with prayer and thanksgiving and that peace of God, which is so much greater than we can understand, will guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.

I hope you all had a great weekend, It was a little wet and cold but it was very relaxing. God bless always 🙏🌷💟

You're faith has saved you

As a mum, a wife, a woman, I look forward to having an hour to myself and one of those hours to myself is attending mass on a Sunday. It’s the time when I can breathe, relax, connect with God, in prayer, in song, through his words.  As I was reading this week’s Gospel and readings, all I could think of is how grateful and thankful I am. My faith has saved me. My faith in Jesus and his teachings, his guidance when I am reading and listening to his words. Yesterday, I went into St Monica’s Chapel and prayed for someone to support and guide me because I feel I am walking my spiritual journey alone and I swear I heard “Katie, you’re not alone, look at your bible, I am with you always.” I know, I am not walking my spiritual journey alone, I am walking with you all. I am praying for courage, bravery and to have the strength to keep going. Women of Faith and hope, I know we get tired, feel broken, and eventually get fed up and sometimes it’s enough and we want to walk away and say No, enough already, no more fighting, no more yelling, no more blaming, no more of the past being brought back up and feeling afraid. It’s time to leave the past to God’s mercy, the present to God’s Love and the future to God’s providence. It is through the power of Christ that saves, our faith is only an instrument. maybe believing in hope, helped me see a miracle happen, maybe believing, my faith in Jesus helped me to know that something was going to happen and knowing that my courage and bravery will make it happen, my faith saved me. Go in peace this weekend Women of Faith and Hope.

Have a great weekend God Bless Always

Proverbs 16:24 ‘Kindly words are like honey comb, sweet to the taste, wholesome to the body.’

My children, I believe you two can be very kind to one another. I know at times you feel like saying mean things to each other but believe me, one unkind word spoken, can do so much damage to a person’s soul and their heart can break. So I pray to God, that my children can speak kind words to each other and to others. I believe in the magic of kindness.

I will rejoice

“ We can see God with the eye of our heart, it’s the vision or perception of our soul.”

As I walk through the doors, I enter with hope, believing, and trusting again, that any bad memories won’t stop me form having a relationship with God, who is my soulmate, and hero. He is the one, that I have been looking for my entire life to make me feel complete. I had stopped giving myself entirely to God, I have tried so much, I was feeling joy, love, peace until the bad memories flooded back my way. I hold myself back because I feel no one will believe me that God’s will is to create life with me and I don’t allow myself to believe in the power I have. I believe though that God is with me today, through my children, through a person’s smile, someone’s kindness, compassion, empathy, through a song on the radio, in my dreams and God’s bearers are recognized by their actions, attitude and behavior towards another human or God’s creations. My quote below is saying: " I am ready and my time is now, I want to create life with you and I am ready for the responsibilities my love. "

"The quicker you get jobs done, the more time you have for playing outside or playing inside." Anthony Robinson

My children, I am not going to lie, the world can be very scary and at times it's very hard to belong, to be accepted all I can honestly say to you both is be brave, be kind, explore, think happy thoughts and fly like Peter Pan, keep dreaming big and remember o smile often. If they say no, it's ok, I know it might feel like a rejection but you can turn that no into a yes and do your own thing. Believe in what you can do, despite what others might think.

Hail Mary

Opening prayer with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, from An Hour With Mary, the Mother of Jesus.  

‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely form now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm, he was scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones and lifted the lowly, he has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors to Abraham and to his descendants forever. Luke 1:46-55
Mary was blessed with his graces and the living spirit within her. Mary was chosen and blessed among all women. Mary’s life should be encouraging, despite how she felt terrified and asking the question: Who would believe her? And the possible chances of stoning because of her devoted service to God. It wasn’t until visiting her cousin Elizabeth, that Mary felt reassured, and accepted God’s blessing and to prophesy. “From this day forward all generations will call me blessed. For you the Almighty, have done great things for me.” Luke 1:48-49. In her womb, Mary carries Jesus and Mary is the Holy Mother of God. Through her devotion to God, we all seek May’s help, guidance and with the hour of our death. 
Women of Faith and Hope, may we keep Mary Mother of God’s example alive and continue to challenge ourselves to trust the spirit, to embrace our blessings and to rejoice in the beauty of the person’s God created us to be.
