Seasons of change

Change is inevitable yet for most of us it is unsettling to say the least. Change encourages us to realign our dreams with Gods will.

Transition phases are always difficult they bring out our insecurities and depending on the change may make us question our selves and the path we are on. We need to remember that wtever the season of our lives, God has a plan far greater and more exciting than we can imagine. He has only our best interest at heart and He is seeing the big picture not just the valley we may be stuck in. 

Sometimes we instigate the change ourselves and we simply have to take the first step and trust that God will work out the details. Other times we reach a point where we follow a bend in the road that we would not have chosen for ourselves - whatever brings the transition – God is in control. He is the one true constant, always leading us into a closer relationship with Him.


Ecclesiastes 3 tells us that there is a time for everything. There is a time to plant and a time to harvest. There is a time to live and a time to die. There is a time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to search and a time to give up. Yes, that's right, there is a time to give up. We usually feel that if we are not living up to the expectations that have been set before us, then we are failing. We need to accept the change of seasons in our lives and recognise the season we are in. If we are not deeply rooted in our faith storms of change will shake our foundations. As we walk into new beginnings and new ventures we need to stay focused on our all loving, all knowing God.

Finding God, in everyday life.

I believe one of my gifts is to encourage others and I love to encourage.  One of my favorite quotes is  by Ron Hutchcraft ministries "I love the word 'encourage' - when you do it you literally put 'courage in' too that person. Someone who may be more battered than you know, closer to going down or giving up than you can imagine. You never know when your encouragement might literally be the difference in that person’s life. When you’re bruised and hurting, it’s the person in your corner, who can get you back in the ring for another round" - Ron Hutchcraft. – …and so begins my new blog When you can feel Gods presence, regardless of what’s going on in your life there just seems to be an inner peace that you can feel right to your core - I think of it as the Holy spirit bringing comfort, joy, and everlasting love. Obviously when you are praising God and when things in your life are going well, His presence feels stronger and the peace that fills us as Christi...

Be equally yoked.

The last few weeks I have had numerous discussions with various friends about dating non-Christians. Until recently I have been all for it - my reasoning - well you never know what God is doing and how or when He is going to soften peoples hearts and draw them near to Him. Sure I have always believed that you need someone similar to you, someone who has biblical qualities like integrity, is respectful of your beliefs and boundaries, is a good communicator etc. but I didn’t feel they really had to be totally sold out on God just because I am. Each to their own and hopefully one day they will come to know the lord. Early this year I went through a storm where I did not tell even my closest friends for a couple of weeks. While I was feeling alone, it just hit me, how when you are in difficult times you really want and need the person you are closest to and intimate with to be ready and willing to stand, fight and most importantly pray with and for you. Ephesians 6:12 "For w...

I saw eagles rising up and flying over South Africa. Singing unique sounds, united as one voice. As they sang and flew higher, feathers were falling, weighted by gold dust/glitter, they landed on South Africa. I was reminded, that we carry the very DNA of heaven, we are created IN HIS IMAGE. What we decree and declare releases heavenly DNA over our land. We are created to overflow - living water! As the gold dust and feathers touched the earth, the earth became full and the words we spoke began to take root, other eagle songs released "character words" that grew, multiplied and were fruitful. (Glitter is not easy to clean up and the more there is the longer it stays, often found long after we have created with it) Let's visualize the weight of our words as we continue to call things into alignment with heaven, so we as a nation, can be a light to others - a nation known for peace, integrity, unity and generosity- a nation ready to be a blessing! A nation rising up & l...
