True love's kiss............


God put His love on the line for us by offering His Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to Him. Rom ans 5:8 (The Message)

I love fairy tales and particularly I guess I have a fairly good collection of Disney stories........... you know the ones.......... and there is always the happy ending!

Got to love the movie Enchanted.......... it must be time for another watching of it really (after a year ago watching it several hundred.... or at least that's what it felt like....... times....) I think I am ready to see it again.

Giselle lives in the world of Andalasia, where animals are talkative companions and musical interludes punctuate nearly every interaction. She dreams of her true love and as she sings about true love's kiss to her chipmunk friend Pip and other forest animals, the Prince hears her voice in the forest. After he rescues her from a troll, they decide to marry the next day. Edward's step-mother, Queen Narissa, disguises herself as an old hag and pushes Giselle into a magic portal to a world "where there are no happily ever afters" in order to keep her step-son single, and remain queen. Needless to say, Giselle meets a man in the "real world" and of course as the movie goes.... she finds her "true love's kiss" and it is not the Prince she falls for....... surprise, surprise!

Well, hey, this is true life, and our lives are not always like that, there is not always a happy ending to a problem we are facing, things don't always go the way we planned. But luckily for us God knew the ending to all of our stories and He had a plan!! God sent His "true love's kiss" to humanity by sending Jesus. And because of Jesus, we are beautiful in our Father's eyes....... and we have a happily ever after for eternity with Him.

Blessings on the journey................... Love Kylie xxxx

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...
