::cait:: until i see Youthat i may be found truly Yours August 18 finallyi think its finally time for me to move on from this space.
i would love to import all my posts over- but i'm pretty blog illiterate. so anyway, here's to my new start- finally! reflectionsi'm amazed. i remember when God was speaking to my heart on Tuesday during the words shared about the living waters just flooding and overflowing in those areas of unfruitfulness in our lives. it was a promise given by our Heavenly Father. Don't give up. The harvest is coming. I will move my hand and I will bring the growth, and the fruit will come!
one of my favourite phrases goes like this: you only fail when you stop trying. and it's something that i live my life by; especially in the things that i have committed myself to and place value upon.
so wow.. i was SO psyched last night! God was faithful and He is definitely a God of surprises to bring many new friends to our curry and mount cootha night, and for things to go really well! i'm just praying now for things to move even further; for people to cross the line into eternal life- and i know they will in His time and when He moves through our faithfulness and courage.
one thing that i'm sure many of us gained last night when LT was sharing- begin with the end in mind.
what kind of person do you want to be seen as at the end of your life?
how do you want to be remembered?
what do you need to do now to work towards that?
besides a few funny things that some people wrote (a millionaire, a lawn bowler...... that fully cracked me up!) i know that most of us wrote roles such as someone's mother/father, someone's wife/husband, someone's friend.. and we all want to be remembered in those relationships as someone who gave unselfishly of ourselves, loved completely and made an impact on their lives.
every once in a while when i take the time out to ponder and think about these profound and life-defining questions, to look at my life and what i'm doing with it- it gives me a fresh perspective and drive. there really is nothing i'd rather be doing than to be in Jesus' presence, to be serving His people and His church and most of all, to check if i'm really loving completely, giving unselfishly and making an impact. it makes me realise that God has so much more to grow in me and so much more to teach me about loving and giving.
one of our new friends asked me last night; what is my dream? what would i like to do and be remembered by? and wow, that's something i've thought about many times in my "short" life so far. it's worth thinking about for you too- how do you want to live your life and in what manner do you want to use your talents, giftings, time, energy, resources? August 16 what's on...all over the place!i was supposed to blog about this a few days ago but haven't had the opportunity until now!
i just really want to praise and testify that God is good; because i really did experience His power on Sunday!
i was having really bad stomach pain/cramps and it got quite bad to the point that i had to sit down at the end of praise and worship (even though it was such an awesome time in God's presence and really amazing atmosphere!) anyway, so i told sunita and she actually prayed for me then and there; and literally, before i knew it! the pain was disappearing and then it was gone!
PRAISE GOD!!!
it's amazing to experience His healing touch first hand- it is awesome when you take that step of faith and choose to believe in His grace and the power of His name! i was really blown away by Sisi's testimony of God healing her on Sunday- isn't our God just amazing?
i just wanted to blog on a random note as well about the time of discipling today when i met up with Sunita. i'm so grateful for the mentor that God has placed in my life- how i enjoy the time of being able to share honestly about what's been happening, amuse her with my interesting stories and just being able to receive wise and objective counsel is really such a blessing!
one of the major highlights was just the time that we spent at the end of the session when we prayed together and cried out for God to move in the lives of our people.
i definitely cherish those moments- good times.
another random note- i made eve's pudding today when some of the girls were over for dinner! nice, easy and yummy (hopefully)! :) and oh... the lasagne turned out alright too despite an interesting beginning and i was afraid it would turn out a bit funny... phew!
a very nice way to spend the public holiday! August 07 more than enoughYou are my supply all of You is more than enough for all of me You’re my sacrifice more than all I want August 05 desperate for desperationi've been caught up in the week gone by; lots of things to be done and time just flew by!
in the midst of the tight schedules and many distractions- it was made clear to me and i'm convicted that i don't want to be caught up with all these tasks and silly trifles! i want to be as one in love- totally consumed and head over heels; and despite all the things i need to do and people i need to meet- every waking thought and moment that can be spared be occupied with the Lover of my soul.
i'm desperate that this will be the ache and longing of my heart and my own prayer of desperation!
Lord Jesus, my soul aches at the mere mention of Your name. My heart leaps for every rumour of Your coming, and each possibility that You will manifest Your presence. I'm not satisfied with mere spiritual dainties. I'm ravenously hungry for You in Your fullness. I'm desperate to feast on the bread of Your presence and quench my thirst with the wine of Your Spirit.
