God is in Control!

My God is such an awesome God and I am so thankful that He is still in the business of doing miracles today! Last Sunday Colin spoke in his message about healing and we had a time of healing prayer together. We were giving thanks to God for the response that was made by so many people. I was deeply moved by seeing so many people come forward for prayer and as the Holy Spirit did His thing, many lives were touched and changed I am sure. It is important to be obedient to God. God knows that I haven't always been obedient to Him and whether that is a lack of trust, faith, or just plain stubborness and laziness I am forever grateful that He still trusts me to be His servant. (Hope that makes sense) I am reminded when I don't see things happening the way that I want them to, that I only see part of the bigger picture, and God just asks that I be obedient and faithful to Him. Til next time...................Love Kylie xxx

I realised that I hadn't posted a blog in a little while, so I guess it is time for an update. Things have been a little quieter for the past few days which has been good and not quite as much to plan for at the moment with school holidays.......which reminds me, I have a JAM planning meeting tomorrow so I need to get a few things done for that............. Anyways, isn't it a good thing that God doesn't go on holidays? For that I am very thankful. I am also aware that at times I seem to go on holidays from Him, but He is faithful and as I come back to Him again and again, I am reminded of His unconditional love for me. I have been struggling lately with the way my prayers are being answered, or as it seems to me, not being answered, but I have also had some great revelations and God is continuing to show me His presence in my life despite the discouragement I feel. I have been blessed and reminded that God's timing is absolutely perfect, I just pray now that He wi

I've been listening to a beautiful song by Alabaster Box........ and it's been sticking in my mind over the past few days....here are the words............. Days Almost Gone The Shadows Grow Long I Sit Back And Wait For Tomorrow To Come To Bring Me A Change To Start Again I Picked Up The Phone Found Out I’d Been Wrong On Running The Race All Alone About Taking The Reins And Going My Way And Where Would I Be? I Cannot See But With You There’s Hope And What Could I Do? But Hold Onto You Cause With You There’s Hope And I Realize I’m A Thorn In My Side Can You Come And Swallow My Pride? And Lend Me A Hand Till I Understand And Where Would I Be? I Cannot See But With You There’s Hope And What Could I Do? But Hold Onto You Cause With You There’s Hope I Fall On My Face I’ll Learn From Mistakes But You Love Me All The Same It’s Called Your Grace Your Love And Your Mercy............Yeah And Where Would I Be? I Cannot See But With You There’s Hope And What Could I Do? But Hold Onto You

Today was a great time at church with the kids. It was a little disappointing that not many came, but on the plus side, one family came that haven't been before and really no matter how many kids were there it was way still worth the effort. We had a great time, the church people are really starting to get into the whole "interacting with new people" thing and that's really exciting. This week our school holidays start and we are having a holiday program for three half days and also a night on Friday night, it will be interesting to see how many people come to the Friday night thing at the church, but it will be great anyway. The best thing about this holiday program is that we have some people from Children for Christ running it, so all we have to do is show up which is awesome, I can handle that. I forgot to grab the camera before things all started but I managed to get a few photos of the activities today......so here they are...... Some of the kids at church tod

C.O.W. ~ Church Our Way Tonight we had COW ~ which is church for our youth. (and no for those that know that I have a fondness for cows, particularly the friesian variety for their black and white pattern, this was not my idea, though I think it's pretty cool) It was a good night, well, I thought so anyway, and I was running it so.............. Anyway, we had 13 of us there and it was good. Forgiveness......for most people it is an interesting topic and it was interesting to talk about it tonight. This is one of those hard topics that we have to deal with in life.....possibly the hardest one. How can we possibly forgive someone who has hurt us so terribly? Well, it is only because of God's grace that we can do that....it is because of His forgiveness of us and because of His grace and His working in our lives that we can come to the place where we can even begin to heal and forgive others. I am not saying that forgiveness is easy, far from it.....but it an essential part of our

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

Free 2 B Me Well, as I promised here are a few photos from our conference, though I know I said I would do it on Sunday, but well..........you know......been a bit slack. It was unbelievable how tired I was on Saturday and Sunday, I think all the busyness is starting to catch up to me and I just feel so drained. Anyhow.............here are some pics from our great day.......... Colin did a great job with setting out most of the decorations, didn't know what he was up to with the word stuff, but it looked magnificant! The cross was covered in butterflies that had been so wonderfully hand cut out by the lovely Jill and her creative husband Rob(!). The butterflies looked great put all around the place............awesome, and yes we have kept them for another occasion, can't let all of that hard work go to waste. We had a load of Pl ah nts (get the South Aussie pronunciation right) loaned to us from one of the local nurseries and we just placed them all over the place to look prett
