Another day another blog....

Hi there again......It's Saturday and we managed to have a great sleep in before having to get a lot of work done. It is no secret to any one who knows me that I absolutely detest getting up early and I sleep in whenever I can.....though it's funny you know because when I have to get up early for some reason I do survive quite well, but I wouldn't say that it is my favourite time of the day. Maybe another thing that would help me get up early would be not going to bed so late every night......I enjoy the night life too much!!! Well....watching tv when I go to bed.....it's a bad habit I know. Anyway, I thought Januray was supposed to be a quiet month for Salvation Army officers well.....I suppose that it is condsidering that I don't have as much planning to do for things that are usually on during the week....but we have still been quite busy really. 2 hour episode of survivor was on tonight.....YAY....my most favourite show and so glad that this time it is on at a reasonable time of the night.

Anyways......here is today's list to be thankful for............it's going to be hard cause I'm feeling sorry for myself today and a little grumpy......here goes...

I am thankful for......

1. An amazing God.....who is my rock

2. A loving Mum and Dad

3. The ability and priviledge I have to speak into people's lives through God

4. Air conditioning in the house we live in! (It's been a hot day)

5. This laptop computer working like a champ while my pc died (also means I can have to tv on while I work.....mmmmmmmmmm......good...not so good)

Well there you go 5 more things today...yeah I know that there are some the same.....I'm always goning to thank God for something some way or another that's a given.

Goodnight and God bless.....

Love Kylie xxx

Iron sharpens iron........

After coming across this verse today I began to think about it a little. You know sometimes we can get ourselves all worked up over the most ridiculous things and let something that really wasn't a big deal ruin our day. It reminds me of the need to surround myself with people that encourage me, but also to be an encourager. Sometimes we are a little preoccupied with ourselves and what makes us feel happy, but I think that it is the wrong way of looking at things. Yes, I am important, but if I focus all on me, then what happens to everyone else. I guess what I really mean is that if we surround ourselves with God-fearing, loving people who offer good role models and less rubbish then that is what we will become ourselves. Iron sharpens iron......how we act, speak and encourage or influence can really affect others, and if we want to be sharp for God then we really have to be mindful of everything that we do, think and say all the time. Challenging...... I was helping someone out to...

Busy, busy, busy...

Well, today has been quite a busy day. Started off with getting to the hall to let people in who were using the hall today and then ducking off for a quick much needed hair cut - yay! Then off to get the mail (drop home and hang a load of washing out), and get some groceries for the pantry at the church only to find that when I got to the cash register I did not have a signed cheque with me - cause we have to have two signatures. So then I had to rush back to the hall to get some cheques signed and then had a 10 minute time limit to get back to the supermarket and back to the hall for a Mission meeting. Mission meeting done, it was time to get home for a little lunch before we had to make some phone calls and visit someone in the hospital and pay a visit to some friends with whom I had to deliver a promised zucchini slice (which was really good - by the way, at least Colin enjoyed the other one that I made!) Then we could go home, more phone calls, and some planning to do. So, this wa...

God is closer than you think..... part 1

In our small group over the last two weeks and heading into the next at least 5 weeks (depending on how long it takes to do each study..... this first session has taken us two weeks) we have been looking at the study "God is Closer Than You Think" by John Ortberg.... he also has a book of the same name. It has been encouraging to see the many ways through the Bible where God has been with His people, especially when they weren't expecting it. So, for the next few days I am going to do my homework on here as a blog each day. Hope that it works like that! The story of the Bible is the story of God's desire to be with people. He is determined that each of uys be His friend, His companion, and His dwelling place. He is stretching out to reach us and fill our lives with His presence. All it takes is the barest effort - the lifting of a finger, the whisper of a prayer - for all of us to reach Him. (God is Closer Than You Think Small Group Guide p.17) Ortberg talks abou...
