Keep Going

I think i will have to change the name of this blog to a life time challenge the further i go on in this i realise oh my goodness ill never nail this in 90day ,ever felt that way ?
foe me the biggest challenge of the past few weeks is letting go and letting God when it comes to your teens a very painful thing but also knowing that they are Gods anyway and only he can protect /challenge /transform
I guess one of the hardest things is knowing that they have to know make their own choices good and bad, i just don't want them to make bad ones :(
I have also been challenged about standing strong in the call God has for me ....Some days i feel its all to hard and i would like to go to a tropical island and sip on pina coladas al day ......
 The scripture i have been mediating on is 2 Corinthians 4:5-13 and that as the message version says i am only the errand runner ....and iam going to run well
weight loss :::::: Mmmm well its happening just slower than i thought,realise i need to start adding running in to my walks again ..funny as iam not really in to exercise haha
I guess if i had one word to encourage you all with as i sight out it would be "Keep going,rest if need be,but be real and watch what God does"

Its been a while since i have been here ..

The new year brings about so much stuff,

I have to say Iam looking forward to  almost being back to normal, love my morning lay in but need to get some routine happening ......

i have been thinking lately of the things i want to achieve this year and realised for the last 3 years almost i have been like a sleepy giant

Iam determined in my heart to put those things in to place and have started with some already one being my weight

1......i realise that losing weight for me was a bigger issue far more than any diet could help with

following my serious depression i had last year  i began to see that when we are in that place nothing can get us out except for the healing touch of God

so I am and have been allowing my self the freedom to just be me ...

love watching what our God does ,and feeling overwhelmed by the love his is pouring out up on me

2.......3years ago watching my son deal with the pain of his dad in hospital i began to write a little story about feeling different .....its for little boys to realise that who they are is good enough it was just an idea ..and yet last week i saw the illustrations completed ..a little more editing to go and Jessie will be done

3......to finish of the girls version of Jessie

and he list goes on and on

iam not prepared to let the enemy rob me no longer

i have determined that from this year forward i will put my hand to the plough ..and what ever my hand touches it will prosper

Day 20

this week i was  soaking in the SON

and i got a picture and it was the Lord holding out the most amazing colorful coat i have ever seen ......

he was holding it out as if he was wanting to place it on me but i just seemed too stare at it ,

it got me to think that so often we wont let him dress us in his coat of favor ,

we may not think were good enough

maybe we don't like the colour he offers us ,

or maybe we don't like to stand out ...

well girls this year am saying yes to the coat ...am not no longer gonna settle for drabs or second best
i am going to live out and see each and every dream in my heart fulfilled

as that coat holds so many things and i want them all ....
come on join me
just put your arms out and he will cloth you with it ....................

wow now the world will see us ,and want what we have ...........and guess what with this type of coat r bums cant look fat ,and it goes with everything

love you all debs xxx

day 15

Wow well were do i start ..............Today i was reminded by a song on the radio of my past ....cold chisel my baby and cheap wine ...haha my mind flooded back, to my not so well days, a tiny frame of 45kilos unable to do a day with out drugs ...as i listened to the songs i started to cry ...not because of my past but because of my future ...because of HIS grace and Mercy ,he chose Matho and I for a time such as this ...2 broken desperate people ...and our God saw who we would and will become .....my challenge is never to forget where i have come from NEVER  .......

AMAZING GRACE HOW SWEET THE SOUND TO SAVE A WRETCH LIKE ME

I ONCE WAS LOST BUT KNOW AM FOUND WAS BLIND BUT KNOW I SEE

Lets never forget that its but for Gods Grace Go I

day 14

Today i have learned so much more of how when God calls you he enables you to do all things
have been blown away by the generous people that surround us
Saw today that so many people have never ever experienced a touch of Gods extravagant favour
Saw once again the prophetic word that Nathan Mahler and Amanda Wells spoke over our church 3yrs ago about our leaders God has for us are those  from the community once again i saw it take root
truly blown away that our Gods WAYS are not ours .........and in that we can rest

A womens guide to nakedness: Ok according to Australian statistics 1in 3 women ...: "Ok according to Australian statistics 1in 3 women have had an abortion ....that is every 3 women ...that means in our churches ...workplace ..."

Day 13

Iam loving How God is unravelling the things that i have tangled ...

unwillingly tangled,but tangled never the less ....

Often in times of despair, we can so long to have thing back to the way they once was...

 that we spin our selves in a rewind position and get all tangled up in the process

love the challenge of taking out the knots .................
Love my God
He is with me all the way
