Fall to pieces..

I've been thinking what to blog for a bit now. Then today I got it. Right out of Proverbs 24:10 "If you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much of you in the first place."
There it was in black & white plain for me to see. Because if I be honest I've been complaining just a little lately. Letting the circumstances of life drag me down. Instead of rising above-as I know I should & can. Not that I've had a "crisis" just alot of stormy waves in this ocean of life-not the calm waters I prefer. Then I read that verse & heard Bobbie Houston say "Rise Up" a word of hers from Colour conference a few years ago now, that is still so relevant to me today. I want to continue to be that passionate, never say no to injustice woman that I've always been. And only I can do that, be that. So it's a new day with fresh revelation.
In all that seems so hard I sit here writing this with my bubba in belly kicking & moving, reminding me that there is life growing in me-life that God is shaping.
We truly are blessed.

May we never forget

After Colour-March 2010-I organized a fundraiser for the precious women in Uganda who have suffered torture beyond my comprehension. Nose, ears & lips cut from their face treated as worthless. We raised funds for them to have their faces reconstructed.
But may we never forget. Because life happens. We get an iPhone, go shoe shopping & start thinking of Christmas & before we know it they (those precious women who are so valuable) are a distant memory.
My dear friend went to Africa & saw things I never want to see. Children starving covered in their own waste because they have nothing & no one. It broke my heart. Yet a few months later the tears I cried & how my heart broke is nearly forgotten.
May we never forget. May we always remember. May we be His hands & feet. Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. Give the thirsty a drink.

Today

i read a blog and it moved me a woman I'd been praying for & who was praying's prayer was answered..it touched a part of my heart..so i thought i'd give it a go..this is the start..

its like things are great..really great..but then life happens..it's hurts..it's disappointments..it's joys & excitements..

We need to take each day with Gods grace & new mercy & know that with Him we can do all things..

Like I said this is the start & this is today..
