Facing giants.

Last week Perth woke up to two giants roaming the streets, the highly anticipated gigantic friends were marionettes from the Royal de luxe street theatre company in France, They visited the city as part of the Perth International arts festival and ANZAC centenary at a whooping cost of $5m. These giants were just absolutely amazing and cool, and I think I was even a little bit more excited than the kids in the city were! Just the sheer massiveness of their size and life like character was very fascinating, It's no wonder people thronged the streets of Perth to maximum capacity.

 

 

Now these giants made me think for a minute, of how we may face different "giants" in our daily walk of life at one point or another, but that no matter how huge the giant may seem at that time, the moment you keep your focus on God on the Inside of, the giant shrinks to nothing and in that moment you can do all things and overcome anything! :-)

 

"You are of God, little children and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you

than he that is in the world"

1 John 4: 4

 

Whatever giants you have to face, you're much bigger than them and your victory lies within you!

 

Go slay Em giants ... lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

meditation: The faith walk

Hebrews 11:1 AMP

NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].

Faith is not an irrational leap into the dark but a leap on the word of God. Faith is what give substance to our hope and dreams, faith gives us every reason to call real those things that can't be perceived by human senses, faith is a spiritual law, it's the human spirit's response to the word of God, it's more than believing ; it's the corresponding action to one's believing.

vision sunday

Today was our church's vision Sunday,  our head pastor,  Rev Margaret shared the vision for the church for 2015 and coming years that God had placed on her heart. And she reminded us to have a personal vision for our own lives in partnership with that of the body of Christ. And the first step to make towards bringing the vision to life is writing it down, and after that; Faith and action!

Habakkuk 2:2-3 ASV

And Jehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.

Back to school!!

Yesterday was day two of the new semester, at the end of the 6hrs long class/tutorial I was thinking "oh God we not even quarter way into this thing!" . its So full on and jam packed, we are looking at 4 days in a row and 6hrs a day! lord have mercy.. One thing for sure is that I'm proud of myself for pushing myself to do this and getting through the first semester, Come December I'll be a qualified community services worker and counsellor :-)

I'm most excited about this semester because it brings on a new challenge, this time we are not just looking at simulated activities but we are looking to go out in the community and work with real people and come up with solutions to real challenges, its one thing to look at a case study or write a well referenced proposal or report and a totally different thing to go out there and implement it. so I've bundled up with a group of awesome ladies and we are looking to work with a women's refuge providing services to clients who are victims of domestic violence and abuse. At the moment its all ideas and concepts that we have but as we move along it will all unfold and come together. I love education that is practical and hands on, and its what I love most about my current course.

I would like to rephrase Nelson Mandela's quote and say "Practical Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world"

Hello February....Again!

 

Another February has arrived, hard to fathom that its already been a year since I celebrated my first birthday here in Australia, One year!!! Amazing how so much can happen and change within a period of 52 weeks, when I get to think of some of the things its just so surreal. Anyway, I'm going to be a year older and I find it quite fluttering that most people's average guess of my age is 22 ... hahahah!!!  That always makes me laugh, but I like to think that you're only as old as the woman you feel :-)

Something about this month that tells me that I should be patient, that its something that can be hard to practice but it always results in the best. My question though is "patience with who or what?" myself? God? the current place where I am at? Or maybe its all of those put together.

I earlier mentioned about celebrating my very second birthday here in Australia, It just reminded me that that last week was Australia day! another second, even though I was on a shift at work I still got to see the fireworks display from the car park. I Just love this country and feel so blessed that I'm living here at such a time as this, the multiculturalism is real y'all, and the beauty of it is that you don't feel so conscious of your difference because different is everywhere and it is embraced
