Many Blessings...........

Hi again....I've been thinking that there is so much that we can thank God for and yet I don't do it as much as I should, so I am going to try to write down 5 things that I am thankful for each day in this blog. Mmmmmm sometimes that can be really easy and sometimes it seems a huge task.

Here goes............I am thankful for........

1. My beautiful husband who reminds me daily how much he loves me.
2. Good Books.......(more about that later)
3. a great family
4. best friends who care enough to come all the way here to spend Christmas day with us
5. a great God who has everything under control and even though I don't deserve it He loves me unconditionally

That was harder than I thought.....but it's a good practice I think.

Anyway, been reading this book and I thought that this was a good thought and I wanted to share it.

"There is something uniquely magnificant and powerful about a woman....it is God who longs for Romance, is it God who longs to be our ezer (companion - life saver), it is God who reveals beauty as essential to life. I as a woman am the image bearer of this God. That is why I too long for these things...." (Kylie paraphrased a little) Interesting..it's from a book called "Captivating" by Stasi and John Eldredge


and so far it is interesting, just got to find time to read more than the first two chapters I have read already. Maybe I should be spending less of my free time doing cross stitch......(though it is resembling a bear now which is cool!)

Oh well, God and I have got some stuff to do.....I am slowly but surely working on that......

Love Kylie xxx

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...

Back Again!

New Beginnings....... This last weekend I went to Ballarat. We had friends Krystal and Charlotte visiting and we took a trip to show them a bit more of Victoria. You can't go to Ballarat without going to Lake Wendouree! It's that time of the year, where you see lots of swans with their babies ❤️  Before we got there, we had a guess to see how many babies we would see, the highest being my guess of 8. We were pleasantly surprised by how many little cygnets we actually saw.... 26! Some were big, some were very tiny and some in between, but it was a blessing to see so many.  Isn't God so good? He constantly brings blessings, and often when we don't expect it.  Thank you God,  Blessings in the journey,  Kylie

WICKED!!!!!

You could be wondering what Wicked has to do with anything........ especially anything in my spiritual journey. This week Colin and I went to go and see Wicked at the theatre. I love musicals and sometimes get very passionate about them! My favourite movies are "Mamma Mia", "Phantom of the Opera", and of course "The Wizard of Oz"...... among many, many more of course!!! (It's hard to choose just a few!) I have known for a lot of months that Wicked was coming to Adelaide and just so that I didn't miss out I had signed up to get an email advising when pre-season tickets were on sale. I got that email about the middle of October last year and once the tickets were on sale guess who was on the internet trying to find the best seats etc??? That's right....... yours truly! So, we had booked our tickets and then there was the waiting to finally go. I thought, "I should probably know a bit of the music before going", so Colin ordered the...
