Follow your passions and your hearts desires ...never, never, never give up ... but do give your dreams to God.

About two years ago I discovered my own passion for writing , for Social Media and being able to use it as a medium for personal relaxation and sharing the love of God with others ... not by preaching but just by loving people.

Do you know how many people are out there just craving to be loved?
The joy of this journey, has been making so many friends both locally and internationally ...finding like minded people with huge hearts , kind ways and the gift of friendship .... I wouldn't trade it for the world.

You see, God put this dream in my heart.  I remember I was listening to a preach in church and the Pastor challenged us 'How many non-Christian freinds do you have?' honestly at that point I did not have many at all.

Next he asked 'How are you going to make a difference in this world, if you are not taking the Gospel into the world?' ...hmmm a stirring began.

Lastly he added 'You do not need to throw the Bible , God's word or Preach to people ...just live a godly life and love all without judgement' , now that I can do! I have the hugest heart and I am huggy bear of note, so sharing love , hugs and an ear is easy for me. God gave me a mission and I accepted whole heartedly.

Today I stand here with the most awesome group of friends , Christian and Non-Christian alike. I get to love and share with people everyday and God spoils me in ways that are unimaginable.

Listen to God , use your gifts and talents and heed His call ...the fruits are amazing and the joy immeasureable!

It never ceases to amaze me how when we press in and focus on the Lord , we are challenged more than ever. Whether it be in our family life , in our work environment or even with those things which we take for granted such as our cars , homes   etc.

I recently did a clean out of my bedroom and came across a Prayer that was written by Bill Hybels of Willowcreek Church in the USA.
This Prayer originated from a Global Leadership conference that I attended , I found it super motivating and so when it happened across my path I decided 'no time like the present' to recommit and recite the Prayer daily as I had before.

Well needless to say two days later my tyre burst , you know on the car that has been the bain ...erhm I mean joy of my life (tee hee).

So what is my point?
It's this , expect adversity when you are pushing in , refrain from reacting ... I simply stepped out of my car in the rain and walked 1.5km because my cellphone was also broken , I sang hymns whilst I walked ... got to a pay phone , called a friend and now all is sorted ... not easy! But I draw strength in the fact that Satan did not win this round!

In my mind I always picture what it must have been like crossing the Red Sea with Moses , you see those walls of water just aching to crush them(those are our challenges). Now you can either choose to focus on the water (challenges), or on the destination .... the end of the tunnel which is God ... I choose  the light at the end of the tunnel!

ALWAYS LOOK UP AND LOOK FORWARD WHEN THE WALLS CLOSE IN!

One of the hardest transitions for me recently was having to relocate a pet from an office environment ( we are moving offices) to a home environment.

I think that I have been far more traumatised by my lack of company at work , by the change in some of my kitties personality and by just wanting and needing him to be accepted by my other kitties.

My cats are by far the 'pamp-puuuured' kind and spoilt rotten and so with my nature of wanting to please everyone and treat all fairly I found myself struggling with feeling like I was falling short in the kitty 'love displays' having to divide myself and devote myself to all three .... this got me thinking!

These feelings that I was having , is often how I hear people speaking of God , 'there are so many of us!' , 'how can He possibly love us all the same?' etc. etc and yet here I stand and I can honestly tell you I love all my kitties the same , we all have different hugs , kisses and cuddles ... but I love them all the same.

God is like this , He does not choose one from the other ... we choose for Him ... seperating ourselves before wec get 'hurt' by not feeling 'loved' and yet we don't actually give God half a chance because as humans we like to 'control' and after all prevention (of hurt and rejection) is better than cure ...right? WRONG!!!

God loves each and everyone one of us equally , He has no favourites , He is not influenced by popularity , wealth and or acts ... HE LOVES US UNCONDITIONALLY ... no special requirements!

Have a super day and remember just because you can't divide yourself in to a hundred tiny bits does not mean you do not love wholeheartedly ... after all we are not God!

Today I choose love and ...
