Knock me off my feet.


Far out!

‘You knock me off my feet Lord, and I’m not even standing!’

He is amazing...

I’m going through an extremely difficult time at the moment and I feel trapped, I feel as if I cannot escape the situation I am in! You ever had that feeling?

It has been so bad that I have been having panic attacks, anxiety and so much trouble sleeping at night.

And for a while now I’ve been asking and asking God...

‘What should I do? I can’t stay like this...even my body can’t handle it anymore because I’m dying inside.’

I haven’t had a solid answer from Him in about a week or so... it was killing me but I stayed patient and had faith!

When then finally today I picked up a book I have been reading, ‘When your past is hurting your present’-Sue Augustine. (Brilliant book)

Now I haven’t read this book in a month or so... I’ve just been so busy that I haven’t had the chance, but today I was suppose to go visit a friend, but it got cancelled so I lay in bed and started reading chapter 4.

And what do you know! In the book she talks about exactly! Not nearly but exactly what I am going through and as clear as day the author has written one sentence that BLEW me away!

It is exactly what I needed to hear; in this book and chapter the author reassures us that it is our choice... we have a choice and if there is something you feel you are stuck in and can’t get out of and it is destroying you, then you have a choice to get out and save yourself!

Man after reading a certain sentence, I had to put the book down and I just said to God,

“Man! You knocked me off my feet and I’m not even standing!”

It’s true I was lying down in bed.

Gobsmacked!

Amazed I was!

He has the WHOLE world in His hands.

Yet He bothers enough to put a single sentence in a book I only just picked up, that I haven’t read in weeks and I happen to read it today because my day out was cancelled!

Amazing!

He IS a God of details... well just look at how much breath taking detail is in a single wing of a butterfly!

Wow! I ended up with tears running down my face and a huge smile just thanking God.

Trust me people, He cares for YOU dearly and He will ALWAYS answer your prayers, NEVER doubt Him!

Our God is a great big god and He holds us in His hands! – A song from Awanna.

Meet your Hero


The other night I was with some friends coming home from a party. When we came over a hill on a main road and there were all these young teenagers walking on the road! Yeah I know! Some of them moved but there was this one girl who just kept walking with her head down in the middle of the road, she didn’t even look back.

My friend beeped, but she still stayed there her head to the ground walking, she wasn’t in harm’s way but as we got closer a boy from the group darted in front of us and grabbed her swinging them out of the way. She wasn’t going to be hit but this boy thought she would be and saved her.

No one else of the group even looked at her and there was a huge group, except this one boy, who put himself in harm’s way to save her.

I think there are many of us that are like this girl, we want and need to be saved but we want to pick who saves us, a lover or a mysterious hero.

When right in front of us we have someone who wants to save us... He has been waiting our whole lives!

His name is Jesus.

But He isn’t like any other rescuer, most hero’s save someone then leave and all that person is left with is a memory.

No, no, He wants to save you, hold you, love you!

When Jesus saves you, He stays forever, but only if you let Him.

Has He been calling you? I bet He has.

Don’t wait too long.

Are you ready to be saved?

Meet your Hero!

It’ll take your breath away!
