Reflecting and letting go ...

 Reflecting once again on all the striving I do ... I spend a lot of time striving to be better ... Wishing I had more talent ... Dreaming about how I want life to be rather than living the life I have and accepting the person I am ... 

A great read is 'A million little ways' by Emily Freeman, it helped remind me ... I am God created and for a reason.  Accepting who I am and trusting God .   

My words for this year ... Letting go ... Sunset ... Seem to have different meaning for me now ... Another meaning could be letting go of old beliefs about myself and walking into new beliefs ... Embracing and accepting myself more fully ... Letting God define me.

 

"You were made in the secret place, woven together on purpose with threads made from sacred longings that come not only from you but from the heart of God - he wove you together with a personality and you bring your own you-ness to the table.  

I will admit it might take our whole lives to see the complete picture of what we can now see only in part.  But don't believe for a minute that a person who bears the image of God has nothing to offer."

from A million little ways
by Emily Freeman

These words were such an encouragement to me.
Keep reading ... Keep Listening ... Keep Sharing God's Love ... you just never know who it may encourage.

Be blessed and be a blessing

...Market Mania ...

What an awesome market Friday Night was ... Moonlight Markets at Thorndon Park Rock.

Next Market is Friday 6th December ... planning to do more Christmas stuff ... 

I feel so much braver now I have done my first market for this summer ... I just have to keep standing for what I believe in ... for what I believe God has called me to do.

Don't be moved by the world ... Be moved by MY GOD.

I found these words on the internet so I don't know who to give credit to (if anyone knows please let me know) ... the words are true ...

I AM

THE DAUGHTER

OF A KING WHO

IS NOT MOVED 

BY THE WORLD

FOR MY GOD

IS WITH ME AND

GOES BEFORE ME

I DO NOT FEAR

BECAUSE I AM

HIS

I would encourage everyone to have the courage to stand strong ... step up into what God is whispering into your heart ... the faith to believe anything is possible. 

Be blessed and be a blessing

... letting go of the old self ...

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you;  I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”  

Ezekiel 36:26

Letting go takes a lot of courage because it means change is coming.   Change is uncomfortable and it will involve learning a new way.  Change is saying goodbye to the past and forgiving what was.  Everyday we have the opportunity to be a better person.  Everyday God gives us the opportunity to step into learning what it means to have 'a heart of flesh'.

I encourage you to step into this "heart of flesh'.  A heart that feels and experiences life in a new way. A heart that is generous and compassionate.

Now think of someone who needs your love and encouragement and send them this link.

Be blessed and be a blessing
