Words



‘She is a breath of the Power of God.’


Isaiah 40:8

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God remains forever.



The fire in your heart is dwindling. I see your passion, your desire. My eyes adore you and I can’t take my eyes off you. Your soul, heart and mind are calling. Set, your heart on fire, sing a new song to the LORD, and spread his words. The word is alive and will live on forever. The word became flesh and is living amongst us. We saw his glory, we all know of his glory and isn’t it ironic that his glory is to be found in suffering and humiliation. However, the word is also full of grace and truth. So, rejoice! ‘Sing psalms to the Lord with the harp, with the sound of music, with trumpets and the sound of the horn, acclaim the King, the Lord. Psalm 97:5-6
I like this quote from Augustine of Hippo,

“Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back, kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love, let us run.”

These weeks readings and Gospels, I feel God’s message is to “Set your heart on fire, with my living words and to remember my most powerful law of all time, Love God with all your heart, soul and mind and love thy neighbour.” The best love is the love that awakens the soul, it will make us want more and it plants a fire in our hearts. 
I know this world can sometimes bring us down and I am not going to lie, knowing what happens within my Church, Parish or any Christian church, can be discouraging and I honestly have no more words, no one ever changes or grows in themselves or in Christ. I pray though and I always keep my faith and hope strong for maybe one day soon a miracle will happen.  So I have a message, If you feel persecuted, imprisoned, injustice, not good enough, or not worthy all because of Jesus Christ, our Lord, God’s name, remember, you don’t have to prepare your defense, because he, himself will give us an eloquence and a wisdom that our opponents will not see coming. Our endurance and perseverance will win our lives. 
You are invited, you are ready and it’s your time. You never have to be anyone but yourself because it is time to be who we feel we are. Who are we though? Are we an Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor or Teacher? Whoever, we feel God our creator calls us to be, we are to work together in unity to build up the ‘Body of Christ,’ we are not called to tear the ‘Body of Christ,’ down, but to build it up and set hearts, souls and minds on fire. 
Women of Faith and Hope, the word became flesh when Jesus was born in a manger, God spoke through Jesus for us to know him, to love him, to know the truth and to know he is the way and the life.  Rejoice!

God Bless Always

I hope you are all having a great week. It was the last Sisterhood for the year, and it was an amazing celebration. I will be going along to it next year and I invite you all to come or to seek another Sisterhood closer to your home. It’s so nice to be able to talk and listen and share my faith and hopes in a lively way. Even though my dream would be to bring this to my own Parish because it fits with their vision, bringing people to Christ, changing lives. Unfortunately, it’s probably known has a crazy idea and I can only hope that maybe one day soon, because so many women need support, encouragement. Compassion, understanding, love and something to look forward to every week, making a commitment to themselves because life is so precious.

My Shepherd


Luke 12:32

‘There is no need to be afraid, little flock, for it has pleased your Father to give you the Kingdom.’



‘My Shepherd would lay down his life for me.

My Shepherd knows me.

My Shepherd loves me.

My Shepherd would dance and rejoice for me.’

In life, there are moments that make us and that will set the course of who we are. Sometimes, these moments are small and sometimes they are not. Lately, I have been thinking about attitude, choices and change and how we respond in our circumstances. We have a choice of how we respond, do we respond with a negative attitude or do we respond with a positive attitude? Sometimes it’s hard to see the change coming, we don’t ask for our lives to change, but it does. Big moments will come, and we can’t help that, and I guess it’s a question of how we respond and that’s where we find out who we truly are.  What I have learnt is to self-care, which is nourishment for the mind, heart and soul. To put it in a more active way, we are nourishing ourselves and nourishing the person we are to become.  I also believe that through prayer, patience and silence, we will feel His presence, quietly releasing our anxieties. For, Jesus Christ is our Shepherd and he is always close by especially when looking to the cross.  
“The greatest obstacles to holiness are discouragement and anxiety.” Jesus to St Faustina

 I have had plenty of discouragements over these past few years and have suffered with anxiety but to know both are great obstacles to holiness. Women of Faith and Hope, I believe good moments happen when we least expect it, no matter how small or big it is. 
I hope you are all having a great week, God Bless Always

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.

My Children day 8

Mother Ministry day 8
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
