... God Promises Eternal Life ...

 Hello World of mine ...

" For our earthly bodies, the ones we have now that can die, must be transformed into heavenly bodies that cannot perish but will live forever."

1 Corinthians 15 : 53

My imagination runs wild after reading this verse ... 
what will heaven be like ... ??? ... for me a place of singing and worship and rejoicing and dancing ... 
a whole lot of whoop-la ... where I never getting tired ...



(an exert from my writings)

My face was felt cold. 
I could here water running.
As I started to come around I could feel something scratchy, like small pieces under my cheek.
Very confused as to what had happened. 

I was lying on the bathroom floor face down. 

As I put my hands on the tiles I could feel sharp jagged little pieces around me.  My eyesight was still a bit blurry but was beginning to get clearer and so was my mind.

Sitting up, I pulled the small pieces of glass out from my palms  ... it was then that I saw the shower screen had been shattered.  Still not sure what had happened.  There were a few cuts on my shoulder and other than that  I seemed okay. 

I looked down ... I was sitting in shattered pieces of glass all over the bathroom floor.

The shower was running and I thought I better shut it off.  I pulled a few more pieces of glass from my palm and quickly put my other hand over the cuts to stop the blood.  They were not deep cuts and a little pressure did the trick quickly.  As I stood to my feet, my left knee felt a little tender and looking down I saw a large red bruise on the outside.  What had happened my knee?  Whatever it was, I must have fallen hard, from the size of that bruise.  
I reached in over the bath to turn off the cold tap and  I realized that it was not the cold water running but the hot water.  It must have been running for some time, as all the hot water had run out and it was now just spraying out cold water.  How long had I been lying on the floor?

My entire body felt exhausted.  

As I turned around a flash of memory came back to me.  I remembered walking into the bathroom and turning on the light.  The problem with my light is that since replacing the new globe, it did this suspended blink a few times before turning on properly ... and being that my bathroom had no windows, it gave a disco effect of a strobe light, especially when it reflected on the mirrors.  This happened every time I turned on the light so I was becoming very used to beginning whatever I was doing in the dark.  So as I came in to have a shower, I can remember walking over to turn the hot tap on, in the dark and when I turned around to go to the toilet - seeing the flash of strobe light -

That was the last thing I remember -

There were so many unanswered questions - 

(this is the very beginnings of my story about a girl who has epilepsy)



... heaven a place of no sickness ... so for all those people suffering with illness and disease a place of easy breathing and heath ...

Be blessed and be a blessing

... God Promises Truth ...

Hello world ...

" And  I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever - the spirit of truth."
John 14 : 16 - 17

"... when he, the spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth." 
John 16 : 13


The feeling I get from reading this verse is similar to that of a clean crisp wind blowing past your face, that sends goosebumps over your cheeks because it is a bit cold and at the same time refreshing and cleansing ...

It gives me a sense of freedom and strength.

Truth is a good building block ... Truth is a strong foundation ...


(an exert from my writings)

Stacey was lying in bed ... she reached over,  picked up her mobile phone and looked at the time.
It was 11.30. 

The yelling had just started and Stacey could hearing everything through the paper thin wall, that was between her and the neighbor.

Even on a good day when all was quiet she could here her neighbor walking up and down his stairs, opening the fridge door and pouring himself a drink from the soda bottle.  The hiss as he opened the bottle was crystal clear and the glass as it clanked down on the sink echoed in the apartment.

In her imagination Stacey though that his apartment must be quiet bare with very little furniture.  What else would make his apartment sound so hallow.  She could hear every sound he made.

She had heard him arguing before but this time seemed different.  So she checked the time again ... only 11.32.  Time was moving slow ... or was it just her annoyance at his disrupting her sleep. 

The anger in his voice seemed harsher somehow.  He seemed to be taunting and daring his sparing partner to make him do it but the other person didn't enter into the argument with him.  She just shouted back a string of swear words then stomped down the stairs and out the front door, slamming it so hard it just bounced back open and hit the wall.

As quickly as the the shouting had began  ... all was quiet ... silence was restored ...

a dog barked from across the road ... and then silence again.

Stacey lay there waiting to hear if the shouting would resume but it didn't ... wondering why this woman would enter into such a volatile relationship ... why no one had told her she deserved better ... she was worthy of kindness and truth ... 


Do you know someone that needs to hear words or kindness and truth?

send them a quick message of Love ... leave a message on there home phone ... or send them a text ... 


Now you have just passed on God's Love ... it's as easy as that ... DONE!

Be blessed and be a blessing
