Some things are just not fair........

It's interesting what things pop in and out of your head at times......well, I think so anyway. Sometimes I wonder where on earth some of the things come from that I think about. Some things that happen in life are just not fair............and there's nothing more that you can say about it. I am glad that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that "God is in Control" because that is what gets me through some days I am sure. I start to think about how I would actually cope if I didn't know God and His grace in my life. I am glad that I do not have to do it on my own. Jesus is my Rock and all I need in life, He will help me through. I have some dear friends that are going through some struggles and I pray that in the unfair stuff God will be their strength too.

On another note........Colin and I both celebrated a birthday this week and I was pleasantly surprised to come home on Sunday after church and find that my bedroom was completely covered in balloons........thanks to Andraya, Robyn and Amy (and I'm sure Keeley played a part!!) Here's what it looked like..............


Thanks ladies...........it was fun kicking them around the bedroom, and we had a blast popping them.........I'm sure there were at least 100 balloons, well it felt like it anway!

Things to be thankful for;

1. A mighty God

2. Great friends.........who wouldn't want a bedroom full of balloons on their birthday?

3. a great week with my parents here

4. rain that we have had over the last week

5. God is in Control!

Take care.........til next time..................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
