Love in Action Journey

Hmmmm ... I am certainly being stretched at the moment - "good stretched" though. I am looking at my life and realising that staying in a comfort zone too long is actually quite uncomfortable - weird thought hey, but it is quite an epiphany for me today! I am ACTUALLY asking God (dare I say it out loud!!)  to re-focus me ... even re-position me if necessary. Oh my word - that is a brave prayer. I know how much God likes to act on those prayers ... but the truth is ... I want to be re-positioned to be where He wants me to be serving and living most effectively. If I am to be so busy, I want to be busy with the things that give way to LIFE! Maybe that means to continue doing what I have been doing all this time ... but somehow in my heart I can already sense change. Work-wise, I am stretching myself in training to facilitate new course material -both corporately and in a ministry outlet. I am learning new skills and feel so out of my depth at times, but what thrills me the mos...

Oh my word!! My babies are growing up way too fast!! This week was "back to school" with Tianna starting Grade 2 (I still cannot get my head around that! Where does the time go?) ... and Leelee started pre-school. They are both oh-so-beautiful inside and out and keep Brett and I in stitches of laughter (and on our knees too)!!

She explained to me that when she asked Angelee to...

I love the start of a new year. My perspective is always coloured in hope and freshness. I am well rested and refreshed after a holiday FULL of playing, laughing and hanging out with my lovely family. Oh the wonders of a break from the rutt and stress of everyday busyness :)   New years eve we turned the music up nice and load and danced with the kids until they were too tired to carry on. It is such a fun memory that I am going to carry into this year ... to live, laugh and dance more!!  We were also blessed with the opportunity of having my sis and her family to see the new year in with. I love the dynamic of a full house of children laughing, playing ...  just having good clean fun together. We all swam ... played card games ... the kiddies made up their own little games ... it was WONDERFUL!!! It was so heart sore to see my kiddies cry when their cuzzies, aunty and uncle had to go home after 10 wonderful, full days! But at the same time ... my heart rejoiced over the memories that ...
