My God.

I was at a presentation night last night... and the Principal was talking and wishing all the grade 12’s a great future, in his speech he said ... “may you go on with your friends, family and gods.”

And I perked up... gods? How many are there? But then again there are sooo many different religions and people with their own ‘gods.’ It’s pretty crazy... how are we suppose to know which one is real? Or if there is more than one god?

Well let me tell you how I know and truly believe that my God IS real :)

One: I am a Christian and Christianity is a choice... you’re not made to do it... it is your choice to follow Jesus.

Two: Christianity isn’t a religion... it’s a relationship... with who? Jesus Christ :D as Christians we believe in Jesus and God... Jesus is Gods son who was sent on this earth to save us from our sins and die on the cross... but rise again in three days.

Three: I can feel God... haha yeah yeah this might sound weird but read on. When you come to God Jesus comes into your heart (Not literally in full size!) but spiritually. :) And when I pray to him... Even though I cannot hear him I can feel him inside my heart. When there is something not quite right the same thing happens.

Four: The evidence is EVERYWHERE! Just step outside any time, day or night. Look at the animals... the amazing colours in a flower... the stars at night! Man there is so much miraculous wonders in this world that have clearly been created! Come on people!

Five: He loves us ALL! In the bible it tells us and shows us numerous stories of God’s love. To him we are unique, treasured and never ever a mistake... we all have a reason to live, He is the reason. He is also fair... the bible is full of stories of people that thought they were favoured by God and didn’t help others because they were ‘too good.’ Well God put them in their place!! Don’t you worry. He sees and knows all, so when you feel like you have done something good but nobody noticed or appreciated it, well God did and he will reward you. :)

That’s how I know my God is real. :)

But don’t take just my word for it. Grab a Christian bible and start reading... and listen... to your heart and God I guarantee that He has been waiting for you. :D

Rainy Days.

I love rainy days, I find them so relaxing, the world seems to stop for a moment. They stay in bed for that little bit longer, sit down to have their cup of tea, snuggle more, and even find time to talk.

Like at my work, the dog groomers, we never have a chance to sit and chat on a sunny beautiful day, we are so busy running around trying to get things done that we don’t stop and notice things, or have a conversation.

And the other day at work, no dogs turned up in the morning so some of us sat and chatted for a while. :) It’s amazing what things you can find out about a person just by chatting.

Another thing I love about the rain is it is a fixer, it takes out fires and helps start a fresh.

And it cleanses, don’t you notice how beautiful it smells and looks after it rains? The trees and bushes are greener and the flowers regain there luscious colour. :)

I think sometimes we personally need some rain in our lives, to fix some areas, and cleanse the unclean or just freshen us up. :)

What in your life needs cleansing?

Ask God to help, he will provide you with the right rain you need. :D

Next time you think that rain is a hazard, ruining your washing, making a mess in the house from your now squeaky shoes... think again.  ;)
