Created with Love

You're formed by God's hands,
dreamed up in His heart,
and placed in this world for a purpose.
There's no one else like you...
You're one of a kind, irreplaceable.
God has given you everything you need
and created you just as you need to be
to make a difference
in your own wonderful way.
So go for it, friend.
The world is waiting
and heaven is cheering you on.

--Excerpts from the new book God's Heart for You by Holley Gerth

Beautiful Inspiring worlds....

After an exciting and wonderful holiday, I came back full of expectation and promise.You See I prayed and asked the Lord for a job when I returned.I was very specific-I wanted a job in an NGO or christian organization. I wanted to work for the Lord.I believed that after I prayed that it was already done and God had a door opened for me.I went to London at peace and he ministered to me and gave me time to spend with him. It was such a restful holiday. Two weeks after I returned I got a job working for an outreach organization. I am amazed at the goodness of the Lord. He gave me what I asked for.Best of all I am in a "relationship" with my Lord.He is so real to me and my life is all about him. I wake up with him, I eat with him, stuck in a jam with him and he reveals things in his "word" that blows my mind away.Everyday I am constantly reminded of his Love and awesomeness. This great God loves me, me! can you imagine that!

You know what? he loves you too, if you will let him. Let his peace just come upon you today!

MY LONDON HOLIDAY

The best holiday ever! Beautiful days of beautiful countryside(my favourite) and even the days of just sitting at home, all tucked up and chatting were beautiful.There has been no stress, no tension, just days and days of peace and enjoyment. London city is a huge bustling city, so cosmopolitan that I am sure you can find every race in this city.What I loved most was the old houses, all cosy with beautiful flowers outside .The shops were awesome and so many beautiful things and fashion.Fashion as you have never seen it.Sheila and Val(my host and hostess)are absolutely beautiful people.I have learnt so much from them these past few weeks.They are a beautiful couple,simple yet classy and so warm.They have showered me with care and love and I am so blessed.Their love for each other is so apparent. They are completely relaxed with each,good teamwork(a must for a good marriage) and openness.I wish................Well I cannot turn back the clock.I look forward to going home, so much to do.Have to get on with my life.But I am truly blessed to have all so much.Thank you Lord

Still in London

My days here are so idyllic and peaceful.There is no rush and commotion which normally accompanies me and time goes by so smoothly. In fact some days I am so totally unaware of the time. Like it simply stands still.Wonderful days.The countryside is so beautiful and I love the houses. Sometimes I wish I could stop and have a quick peek inside their homes.Just curious.We went to Leeds Castle and it was simply awesome.I can imagine how it must be back in those times.The bedrooms and drawing rooms were so opulent but a little cold and formidable too.Kind of Erie but not in a frightening sense.The grounds were simply magnificent and there were times when you felt that a prince or something was going to come dashing around the corner on his horse.Wouldn't that have been something.I loved everything about it.Wish I could have spent the night there.That would have been something.Wonder if I would have slept at all.All those creepy corridors and winding steps all over the castle.But it was really something to see.Did I see my knight in shinning armour? Well not yet......anyway am going back for another visit.

Have been in London for a week now and have enjoyed every minute of it.You know I love country sides and where I am staying is so beautiful.It brings me so much peace and such a joy.I feel the Lord all around me.I thank him for making all this possible.I am seeing his grace everyday.When I had this awful gum infection, I cried out to him and he took it away.I had an IBS attack in the bus in London and he made it possible for me to reach Victoria station in time.Isn't our God just wonderful.Its summer but a cold rainy one but there is still so much to enjoy.From where I am sitting I can see a big bush of pink roses.The flowers here in summer are so beautiful.Which I could live here.But I thank God for allowing me to able to see all this.I just seem to sense his precence all around me, even right now.Sheila and Val are two lovely people.I am just wrapped up with so much of love and caring here.Thank my sister too for making all this possible too.I am so blessed to ave family like this.I am off to another great day in London

CONTINUE ON... A Mother's Day Story

A woman once fretted over the usefulness of her life. She feared she was wasting her potential being a devoted wife and mother. She wondered if the time and energy she invested in her husband and children would make a difference. At times she got discouraged because so much of what she did seemed to go unnoticed and unappreciated.

It was during these moment of questioning that she heard the still, small voice of her heavenly Father speak to her heart.

You are a wife and mother because that is what I have called you to be. Much of what you do is hidden from the public eye but I notice. Most of what you give is done without remuneration. But I am your reward.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24

-Excerpt from Roy Lessin, DaySpring co-founder and writer

Another year and another Mother's day has come.It has been a year of change.For me everyday is Mothers Day because we are Mothers 24/7.The most precious gift a women can receive is to be a Mother. Time with them is so precious and for all you working mums out there, I know how you feel when you have to leave them(especially when they are small) to go to work.I worked too all my kids growing up years, and at times I felt I have lost some precious moments with them because of that.I watched them grow up and go away to study and work.Would they keep in their hearts what I tried to teach them. Would they become good, kind and responsible adults, walking in the ways of God?Would they seek their heavenly Father to know the plans he has for them? I trust my children to the Lord and know he will take care and watch over them.For me I have a second chance with them and everyday being with them are memories I will keep forever.Just simple things like preparing breakfast for them in the mornings, folding their clothes, walking into their rooms after they have left,with their clothes scattered all over ,getting a hug from Melisa as she leaves for work are all memories I will keep in my heart always.I am blessed to have a wonderful daughter -in- law and the nights I spend with her when Shan flies are precious moments for me too.I see the love they have for each other and I know they will be great parents.
So this MOTHER is truly blessed and happy. Bless all you MOTHERS out there may you be as happy too. And if you are having problems with your kids, just hand them over to their heavenly Father and he will know what to do.You do not have to carry this burden alone for he loves them as well.Pray for them and after you pray thank God for the changes you see in them.It may be slow in coming(God timing not yours)but its coming and see that happening.
