My has got a part in the school musical, only a cameo part, but it's a start!
They had formal auditions and there was a call back yesterday and he is so excited to have been given a part!
Church is going ahead again, it seemed to be stagnating for a while but I think that is something that's been happening worldwide..
I was honoured to be able to pray for one of the women on sunday in the morning and get feedback that evening, when I prayed for her healing again and laid hands on her.
She had said it was almost all gone, so I prayed again and it was awesome to be used by God and feel His annointing running thru us!
She hugged me and thanked me, she is a leader, she is open to the Holy Spirit and ALL He has for us and we were one in the Spirit..
Week before I got to pray with the pastor for a woman I have known for yrs.
We laid hands on her and I prayed in tongues to shut down the spirit that was trying to control her mind, so she could receive healing..
I prayed loudly over the top of it speaking out of her mouth and in the end there was peace..
I did not care what others thought, my pastor was right beside me and it felt so good to be ministering and walking in my calling AND my pastor came and thanked me for praying!
It truly is a new day in this church.. 
It was like being endorsed, approved bfore the congregation, it meant a lot to me..
This church has not been open to the ways of the Spirit but is now under an interim pastor who is allowing the Spirit full reign, amen..
Bring it on..
We have a board of people who are in charge, things generally have to be run by them and that is what has been the prob for so long, but they are coming around, they are beginning to see the workings and truth of the Holy Spirit, amen..
There really has been a change in the way people are treating me, people are nicer, not so guarded, even affectionate!
It is so good to be able to operate in ways that I have been used to in the past..
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom, amen!
Praise GOD!!

Soulmates?

Bible doesn't specifically say soulmate, BUTTTT it does say how they become one and it also warns about not coming between them, bible says it is better to marry than burn with passion.
Only have to look at all the split marriages to realise something is wrong! I personally am single and know everything I've tried does not work!
I am passionate, but have self control and He is sufficient for me, I am not looking for a relationship, but in having said that, I meet many interesting people and dont think about them as mates, but I do think about whether I liked them or not and whether we got along.
As in today, I had a meeting with a man and realised it was good, and on parting he said it was a pleasure to meet me!
This was in a professional situation, he is going in to bat for me in regard to a complaint I was formalising..
It is always GOOD to leave a good impression and being myself and being totally honest, not worrying about what others think of me WORKS!
It is appreciated by others and I am liked for it!
I think that it is important to leave good behind us wherever we go..
ALL relationships are important to God, because all people are His creation and He loves us all so much, remember?
He did give His only begotten ...
It really all comes down to reading the Word and understanding the Word and if you go back to the beginning it is all clear!
Remember God doesn't change, man changes things to suit himself and to justify himself.
I do believe that there is another half that makes us whole and it is all down to God..
We mess things up with our flesh getting in the way!
Bible says where do wars and fights come from .... I'll go find the scrip about it..
NKJV James 4: 1 - 17 covers so much!
4b..Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?
2 You lust and do not have.
You murder and covet and cannot obtain.
(remember.. do not covet your neighbors wife? )(one of the ten commandments)
In verse 4 it accuses people of being adulterers and adulteresses..
I personally believe I am guilty of adultery simply because I have been in more than one relationship!
My Bible says we are able to divorce if one is guilty of infidelity..
My husband WAS guilty and I divorced him!
BUT it also says we are not to marry if we can help it, maybe that's because it matters to God who we go with..
I would rather err on the side of caution than offend my God, amen..
I think I offended Him enough in my lifetime, ignorance is NOT bliss, it is DANGEROUS!

Finally!
Cant help but smile as I write that!
Right now I just feel in love with God, my Jesus and life is good, amen!
It is a new year, and God is doing a new thing, 
Took a break from church for a couple of weeks and it did us good..
School is back, I am freeeeeeeeeee
Went back to gym yesterday..
Decided NOT to do art this year, feel God has something else in the winds of change..
Anticipation of His goodness fills me up!
He really is more than enough, amen..
I am good because He is good, it is all good!
We have so much to be thankful for, amen!
There are so many who are worse off than any of us..
We take so much for granted..
Use me God, use me..
That's when I feel alive, when He is using me..
Seasons come and seasons go, the worst season for me, is the one where the field lies fallow and is being rested..
Waiting on God..
BUT patience is a virtue and it is rewarded in the end..
It is about having complete trust and faith in Him for all things working together for His good purpose, amen!
Those who wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength
they shall rise up
on wings as eagles
they will run
and not grow weary
they will walk and
will not faint
Isaiah 40:31
and Provs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with ALL
your heart
and lean not to your own understanding
in ALL your ways
acknowledge Him
and He
WILL
direct your paths..
Oh taste and see that the Lord is good, amen..
Blessings guys!

Land Rights For Whites..

Ok so that sounds contentious I guess.. BUT what is it with these people who think whites are exempt from persecution!
My blood is scottish, my dad was a scot and my mums mum was a scot..
Blood is thicker than water.
I was born in Australia, my heart yearns to live and walk in the land of my father.
I totally get how our indigenous peoples feel about their land, but you know what!
I think it's time to count your blessings and be glad that you are still in your land!
What colour do you think those 22million jews were that were killed in ww2?
What colour do you think all those scots were who were forced off their land?
Whose wives and were and murdered in the highland clearings!
And their homes were burned so they couldn't live there.
Forced to the edge of the land to exist on the coast in shacks of whatever they could find, to gather seaweed to eat and whatever else.
And if you think it was 100s of yrs ago, you are wrong!
It isnt a colour issue!
It's just how things were, a different time.
Like what they call the stolen generation time, that wasn't just happening to black people, up until the 70's Australian girls who got pregnant and were unmarried, were forced to give up their babies for adoption.
I know because I saw firsthand these girls, I know it happened because they tried to do the same to me!
It's like all those islamic people who think, in their ignorance that all westerners are Christians!
Get a life, get over it and get on with it!
Do I hate those who did these things to my ancestors?
NO!
My blood is also French and English!
Mon dieu !
Oppression is something that has always existed, it's how we handle it that matters..
I did not choose to be born in this land, God chose where I was born, amen!
I know so many indigenous people, who are my bros and sisters in Christ, that's the GOOD thing about Christian fellowship, there is NO colour and there is total acceptance and understanding of God and His will.
I have never felt connected to this land, but didnt realise til 1982 when I read what was being written in the news about us having to pay rent to the original people and how they actually felt about me living in this country, that was when it really hit me.
Feeling like an unwanted intruder in the place I was born.

My boy is really taking this voluntary work seriously, he is there every day!
I had to stop him from going on the 35+ days (temperature)
he got sunburnt and it was really dark red on the back of his neck..
One week til school goes back, I only took my Christmas tree down on the weekend, dont think I'll bother with a tree next yr, do a Christmas with the Kranks maybe..
I just couldnt get into it this last Christmas.
I love the Lord and I am usually the first to put my tree up, but I think it's because my is growing up.
He didnt seem to spend much time with me, he stays in his room and plays his ps2 games, or draws, or reads..
That's why I'm so glad about his volunteering..
He actually thanked me the other day for always being there and encouraging him to have a go.
He said he feels like he's really doing something with his life and has never felt so good as he does now!
I'm just waiting for him to go back to school so I can have some time to think about what I want to do with my life.
I have always believed that's what good parenting is about, just like the animal kingdom, we are to teach our how to go out there and do it for themselves, to be independent..
And now it's happening, I have to think about me and what's next, dont want to get caught out!!
I have signed up for art again this yr, painting and ceramics.
I did my coffee course last yr and really love the whole process of grinding and making my own coffee, texturising the milk etc.
And my nail tech course, not quite sure about that, need to finalise some of that still.
I learned how to apply acrylic and gel nails, extensions etc. and also do pedicures and manicures.
I guess I was just testing the waters, having a go..
By doing these courses I also wanted to be an example to my , to lead by example, to encourage him..
He is going to be ok and that's all that matters, he is part of this community, it's his home..
Thank you Lord!!

Breast Cancer ..

Last Updated:Jan 29, 2012 6:09 pm 23023 Views

Before my lil sis passed on from breast cancer, I felt compelled to do something for the cause.
I went to my then pastors wife and she agreed to it..
I came up with the "think pink" theme and we went from there.
My pastor was not in favour of a raffle, which had been my sons idea.
But then I said it's not for profit, it's not gambling and I dont think God would have a prob with it!
So we got on with it, first my pastors wife wanted to get women of the congregation to contribute items.
I said "No that wont be ok, they'll all turn up with cans of baked beans or something" , so it was agreed we would go shopping together for the raffle items.
I ran around getting vouchers from pizza shops, went to the local council to find out about permits etc.
It was all set, we had competitions for best pink hair or clothes etc.
BUT it was supposed to be an outreach into the community, my thing was to show people we are not exempt, we know what it's like, we understand, we go thru the same things they do.
Certain women on the tables selling tickets, were asking people if they could pray for them, they thought it was the right thing to do.
It WASNT!
People just think you're weird and religious if you do that, it's like christianese, coming out with Praise the Lord etc.
We only got that AFTER we became Christians!
AND they wouldn't listen to me, because another woman was considered to be the womens leader and in hindsight I'm pretty sure she had, as she does, had her say about it, without me knowing.
My pastors wife released me to minister to women and I have never forgotten that.
Same with the worship team, she put me there.
So even tho I'm no longer in that church, I still AM a womens minister, and a worship team person, amen..
What is given by God cant be taken away by man, amen..
I didnt realise any of this was happening at the time tho, this particular woman wasn't even going to be there on the big day!
She had prior engagements.
People who may have come to church never did, only one woman was added to the congregation after all that!
We raised over 3,000 dollars and I got a thankyou letter from the breast cancer foundation for the church, because I never said it was all mine, I made it clear I was operating with and thru a church team.....
I've since joined a gym and they organise things for us, we had a christmas breakup bbq and a kris kringle present exchange.
We have been out as a group to dinner and the movies, it is good!
I have heard recently that my gym is owned by Christians, it wouldnt surprise me and a lot of women who go are fellow Christians.
It is where we get to see each other without our masks and we all have a common goal, to get fit and make the most of what God has given us, amen..
This is why these women are opening up to me, because God knows He can trust me with them and their hearts and respect their privacy, they are not gossip fodder and I go and pray for them without them knowing, in secret for my Fathers eyes and ears only.
I hug them and lay a hand on their shoulder or arm in empathy, knowing full well my Bible says I will lay hands on the sick etc.
But I never make a show of it, I dont embarrass them.
This particular woman had a habit of walking up to people, me included and laying her hand on the top of our heads!
To me that is a total violation of personal space, unless you have gone up on a prayer line at church!
It had nothing to do with God at all, but more to do with domination.
One of the things I have taken note of in the Bible is that scrip that warns us not to boast, because of ourselves we can do nothing only thru Christ can we do anything.
Some people talk about what they are doing, or have done, but they are not giving God the glory, they are trying to say
"look at what God does for me, I must be great and good in His sight! "
Which is what this particular woman does regularly and everyone thinks well she must be ok if God is doing all this for her!
BUT it should be..
"Look at what God has done for me, because He is good and great! "
Amen!
And then other times it's like a competition between people trying to outdo the other and not really giving a damn about the people at all!
Anyway that's it for me, just thought I'd point out a few things, just sharing on how things can be ruined by religiousity.
That church went from growth to growth and now it has dwindled away to 20 people at most, because they forgot who it was that the annointing and power comes from.

I know a lot of people in passing, and recently these people are telling me what's been happening in their lives..
Some I have read in the news, not realising who it's been about..
People who are hurting from things that have happened..
Just ran into a mum we've known for yrs and her husband passed away in dec.
Another Mum who's went missing and was found floating in the sea off the coast and it's now in the hands of the Homicide guys..
She is so tormented by the not knowing of how it all came about..
But this is where God can use me, with words of comfort, words of wisdom and advice, hugs and prayers, which I KNOW my God answers..
I DONT preach at any of them, I just use what I know from my own life and be real, no airs and graces, no religion, just empathy and understanding..
I CAN relate to people whose has died suddenly, with seemingly no answers as to why..
Now God is using it all for His good and for His glory..
amen..

You know your are growing up when you are at separate functions for the day!
My was saluting the mayor in his historic uniform and I was at another function ..
It was an absolutely glorious day in an absolutely glorious setting, our local botanical gardens, dappled sun thru beautiful trees..
The thing I love about our country is our so called "stars" , they are totally accessible!
I caught up with one who I hadn't spoken to for 40yrs!
Our stars are just that, "our stars" .. they are like family, part of us..
We are all immigrants in this country..
I'm a first generation on my Dads side and second on my Mum's side..
A lot of who came here as migrants, have gone on to become famous..
After all the awards there was a concert in the park, I met up with other people and we bopped away in our seats, the stole the show, up the front dancing their lil hearts out!
