Shine

I was watching legally blonde 2 the other night and I was completely inspired to “change the world.”

As I was watching her make a miraculous uplifting speech I thought, one day I will be like that, I will be up there with the microphone inspiring others and the world that they are unique, special and dearly loved by God.

But what is stopping me from doing that now?

True the whole world isn’t reading my blogs or even knows of my existence. But there is you! Who is reading my blog... and no matter how little the number of people I reach out there, if I can at least help one of you, with your life... then that’s worth everything!

Don’t lose the moon because you have been counting the stars!

You are so special, and God has some great plans for your life...don’t hold back on the beauty’s in life just because your shy or you don’t feel like you’re worth it.

Because you are worth it! And until you get and understand that, I’m just gonna have to keep on telling ya. ;)

If God really didn’t care about you or love you then why would he have created you?

He isn’t a cruel God, quite the opposite actually... you are here today for a reason.

Live that REASON!

Don’t be afraid to shine.

The world is dark enough already. :)

This is for you.

This is for you, dear reader. Yes you the one who is reading what I have typed right know, I wanted to say this not for just anyone, but YOU!!

You are beautiful.

You are amazing.

You are treasured.

And you are loved.

So much so that the Lord God himself, the King of kings and Lord of lords, has given you the most precious gift anyone could ever give.

God gave you his precious son Jesus Christ.

At Christmas we don’t just celebrate Santa or the elves or presents.

But something far greater!

A gift that is given to all, something so beautiful that the devil himself can’t stand to hear His name.

JESUS!

He was born in a stable from a virgin Mary, and from his first breath God knew that he would one day breath his last breath on a cross dying for you and me! Dying through the worst death imaginable, he took our sins and put them on himself. For you!

And then miraculously rose again in three days, so that some day we may see his face, see his love and embrace that amazing gift God gave us numerous years ago.

So Merry CHRIST-MAS to you.

May all your Christmases be filled with love, hope and awesome presents!

Thank you for being a part of my life and reading these blogs.

I pray that God blesses each and every one of you!

Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand.
James 1:17

My plan for your future has always been filled with hope.
Jeremiah 29:11

Because I love you with an everlasting love.
Jeremiah 31:3

Simply because you are my child
and I am your Father.
1 John 3:1

No better friend, no better FATHER!

Last night I was having a bad night, I have been feeling really down lately so I was just sitting in my room talking with God.

Anyways, I read through me diary and realised how much pain I have been holding in my heart.

Page after page is written, I wish this would stop... I’m so sad... why does everyone have to change into nasty people?

After each sentence I was re-living the past and the pain.

So eventually I was crying to God saying, begging...

Help me please! I don’t want to hurt anymore, take away the pain! Please! I beg you; I don’t no how much more I can take! SAVE ME, from this pain.

After my shower I started to relax and feel much better, and I asked God to show me his love, something to help me a little.

So I went on my phone and went onto YouTube, and I typed in “God’s Love.”

A thing called ‘God’s love letter’ came up... at first I thought it would be some silly thing that someone made up... but no! It was and is amazingly beautiful, and I really want you to watch it!

I asked God for a little something, and he gave me everything! He is a GREAT GOD!

No matter how you are feeling or what road you are on at the moment, you will be blown away by God’s love!

I was so taken by all the loving father stuff and the verse...

“God will wipe away every tear from your eyes.” Revelations 21:3-4

So after I saw it, I posted it all over Facebook, something so beautiful shouldn’t be hidden!

I mean, would you hide a stunning rose under a basket? Just to keep it to yourself? So no one else can see its beauty?

Well I believe God’s miraculous love should be shared with the entire world!

Trust

Trust

Now there’s a big meaningful word for you.

Trust- something so strong that it’s what holds the bridges together between people’s hearts.

Yet so delicate that a single touch can shatter everything you worked so hard to build that trust on.

Now I have major trust issues... because of my childhood and just people from life in general...I can’t even close my eyes and let someone walk me around! I just can’t do it... maybe with someone extremely close to me, but I still can’t stand it.

And a part of my mistrust is that I don’t trust men at all! Part of me would like to because there not all bad. ;)

 But after years of hurt and disappointment from my dad... I have major issues with trusting men. My Dad has Asperger Syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder...this meant for a very long time I never felt loved or cared for by my Dad which broke a lot of trust.

 I used to think that men were either after something or out to hurt you, but actually there not all like that... unfortunately some are... but there are some really great guys out there that don’t have their hearts set on just something they want of yours or to leave pain and destruction.

But unfortunately the bottom line is that everyone is going to hurt you... they are human, some on purpose others by accident.

And you can’t put your full trust and faith in people without being hurt.

But there is someone who you can trust 100% and he will never ever hurt you!

God! I have been lucky enough to have a close relationship with God for nearly 15 years now. And I can PROMISE you that he won’t let you down!

With my walk with God I have had to learn the hard way on how to trust him 100%.

It is a hard thing to do... especially when you have been hurt time and time again from putting your trust in others.

But I can finally say I trust him 100%, yeah it took me 15 years to do so but hey, like I said trust is a very delicate thing.

So many times n the past I would put all my worries, fears and troubles in my hands and give them to God but I only gave 60% of them because I was having such a hard time in trusting him... I know I can trust him... I just always had this great fear of being let down... again!

And you know what? God has never ever let me down! Not once! And he never will, that’s pretty awesome. :)

This year I have finally giving all my fears, worries and troubles in my life about my past, present and especially future to him. And the feeling when God takes all those things from your hands is unbelievable, you feel free like those chains are broken. The weight you put on your own shoulders have been taken off and you can walk, jump and dance again. :)

But only if you put your full trust in him.

Give it a go, it’s so worth it. :)

   

The most important ingredients.

I’m not talking about strawberries and milk to make a great milkshake or brown sugar, milk, eggs and flour for a cake.

No, no... We are going far deeper than a slice of cake... but to the spirit and soul.

I strongly believe that the best ingredients ever are Hope, Faith and Prayer... Yep, just those three mixed together are what creates the world’s miracles!  

When making a cake... you need milk, eggs or water don’t you? Without it, it will just be powder... and that won’t work... I see the milk, eggs or water as the faith... it is an extremely important ingredient and without it, it won’t work!

Another part of a cake is the taste... you can’t eat a cake that tastes like nothing, gross! The flavour can be Hope... without vanilla essence, coco or icing the cake won’t work. Neither will a miracle if you don’t have hope.

And most importantly you need the flour... if you don’t have the flour; you won’t have a cake... and if you don’t have Pray, than you won’t have a miracle.

But we are only human; we can’t cook the mixture to rise to be a cake... I’m not Lava girl or Ben 10 (who can turn into the fire alien.) Us humans need an oven... the oven has the power to rise up the cake with its heat.

Well after you have added Hope, Faith and Pray... chuck it in the oven... give your mixture to God! He has the power to heat, mix and mash to create miracles!!

It says in the bible...

Matthew 17:20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

I believe this can defiantly happen. The mountain may not jump into another place, but perhaps if you pray with complete faith, the next day you hear on the news... (News music) “Breaking news... small earth quake not hurting anybody has caused a mountain to shift 20meters...” It could totally happen! And only through God.

My best friend Brie is actually in hospital right now with lupus, which has caused kidney failure... it’s pretty bad, if she had left it any longer she could have died! I thank God that she is ok, but if she needs a transplant... she may be in hospital for a long time!

But... I believe with a sprinkle of Hope... a cup of Faith and two cups of Prayer... and a hot oven (God) ;) she’ll make it through!! :)

What things in your life need these three very important ingredients?

All you have to do is close your eyes and pray to God about it.

He will be your oven!

And you can’t get a better oven then that. ;)
