As the rain continues to come down and as my washing on the line, gets wet.
I am reminded that God is in both situations.
This optimistic, ''it will get dry eventually,'' idea will happen.
I don't know about you, have you ever, struggled with stuff.
Stuff just goes on in your mind, and you wonder will the summer always be like this?
Am I just using my blog to complain?
Hopefully not, hopefully you dno't get that into your head.
It's easy isn't to just get into a rut, or a way of life, and just accept it, accept the way things will be or going to be.
Looking for some ray of sunshine, in the day, or maybe you just want to roll over and go back to sleep, and just forget about the day.
To get to where you are going, you need to reach out, scary, yes, it's scary, that some how sometimes that works.
Accepting, that changes are necessary, and we need to have change in our lives, but we always need adapt to change. and if you are my friend in that place where the Lord is calling you to change, and you're wondering what you should do, can I just say, trust him.
Trust him that the sun will come out, and you will get to where you are wanting to go, in life, trust him that he will make your paths straight, trust him, that he still has a plan for you and that plan doesn't change.
No matter if your eyes are like water fountains, because the lord knows, that you are wanted, that you are loved, and not even you can change his mind about what he thinks of you.
No matter if it was inoscenly done, he is always there, with open arms to come to you and cover you with your heart, and your life will be good.
Jesus I pray for people who are feeling the same way, you know Lord how far we have come, you know how we still have to put one foot infront of the other, and keep plodding on, lord I pray that we wno't loose our vission to you.
We can't do anything to make us love us more or less, you want us to come to you just as you are.

Keep looking forward
Hello there fellow friends.
HOw are you?
I hope that you're having a really nice night.
I have had a week down here in invercargil, and it's been a good one.
The weather has been so up and down, but we know that we can't always live by the changable weather.
If we did that, then we wouldn't really find our true selves.
Tonight, I want to write about, somethings that I think that you people need to know.
How life always moves forward, not backwards, sometiems we do look back into the past.
Truth be told, my whole family are some how like that, and it doesn't do anyone good, it's good to look forward good to look at what Jesus is doing in our lives.
After all, where in the bible, do you find about looking back?
We need to be people of light and path finders, not people who always think it's better in the past.
Whatever path you're on, right now, no matter if it's picking up that skill or training, or whatever looking for that new job, or simply enjoying or finding out ways to enjoy your job now, to do bigger and better things.
It's taken me a long time to get to a church that I feel challenged, and inspired, and I found one tonight, through a friend who recommended one to me.
You know how you've been in that spot, where it's that floating around stage?
Yes not a complete wilderness, but a space where God has given you amazing thigns and you've been so blind to them, because you've told yourself other wise.
We don't see our true potential, because we always see the barriers, a bit like a show jumping horse that is new to show jumping, do they freak out when barriers are put up there to jump over? it takes years of training them to jump clearly and cleanly over the barriers.
My friend, don't see those barriers, as some enormous mountain, with a ''do not have'' sign on them.
You are completely right to have those dreams those things in your life, that are needed, valued and worth having.
And I fully believe that, because we live in a world now, that is materialistic, and every sign, and every thing, screams at us, '' you need this'' or you need that, or you need this mag to make you happy, or you need that person, or whatever you think of.
In reality, they are thrills, nothing that lasts.
We get a new object or clothes, and it doesn't take long, to have the shine wear off.
In our church meeting pastor spoke about, always moving forward, and not looking back, see, when we look back, we think that the past is always better. always better in the good old days.
But in reality was it?
Always love, others the ways that they don't see it themselves, yah?
Anyway, better let that do.

The sun will come out
Hi there,
How''s your day going
I hope that it's fine, and good.
I don't know what you've been up to, but I do hope that it's a good one.
TOday I want to talk to you about soemthinh that has been on my mind, it's not the usual thing.
I want to talk to you about true happyness, think about things that made you really happy, perhaps it was finding something at an op shop, or a new shop in town, perhaps it's just going out with a friend.
Maybe it's just listening to the lord and finding out what he has in your life, when was the last time you've been completely still before him?
And my friends, the more you do, that, the more you hear the holy spirit.
It's getting close to the middle of January, my course will be starting up soon, and there's 2 more churches to go to and op shopping to do.
And 2 more cafes to visit, one restuaunt, and one that has a name that is somewhat intriguing, "The zoo keepers wife.'' or to the locals, the zoo keepers.
There's no zoo down south, so yes have to pay a visit.
But I'm off topic, again.
I was talking about happyness, and what sort of happyness, there is.
For me, it's my friends, it's those ones that are up for anything, any adventure, at any time.
We always go through ups and downs, sometimes, it's others times when you just want to hide away, and put yourself to bed.
It's complicated, to others, but sometimes, when you're hurt you just want to hide, and that is what happened, yesterday, and out of that I hurt someone because its like a ripple effect in a pond.
You drop a small stone, and you just watch it sink to the bottom, and you see the ripples go out.
Sometimes that happens in families, we're not all perfect, we're not all the same, we're feeling the same, or thinking the same.
Even thought it's nice being back at home, I am actually looking forward to my course starting, to be free and face the kitchen with new confidence.
So many of us, seem to have to many fingers on too many buttons.
We feel like we have to sort everything out, or everyone out, because they can't do it the way we want.
And it seems to be the clossest people we're living with that hurt us the most.
Cause we want them to hurt, even though we know it's wrong.
It's not a good trait, it's not good to have abuse in the home, it's not good to be controlled by others.
It makes that person even harder to live because everything is done for them.
Is this me?
Yes,
My dear friends, you are not alone, behind closed doors, feeling that the only way out is bed, to hide away.
For many years, as a young girl, barely 4 to my early 20s, I was physically, mentally emotionally abused.
I can remember being closed in the bathroom with my dad, trying to get out, but couldn't escape.
It hurts to this day to be told ''you're hard to figure out.'' it's hard when you spend all your time in your room, because that's the only place you can go, without having guilt, on you.
Everything seems big, and eventually, that what gets you.
Every plan is thought of to make you feel better, but the damage is done.
I am honest I am hurting, I am lost.
But this i know, know the ''I am'' I know that he was there looking down, his angels were there when I went through all this.
One thing, is this, you can't make people heal, you can't put a band aid on a bleeding open wound, that everytimes you've heard'' your useless,'' flash backs happen.
You need councilling, cause it's a slient pain, it strangles you, catches you out every time, when something didn't work.
My friends you're not alone, you never will be.
