Well hello again
It's been a while since I decided to actually write anything and today seemed like a good time to try. In the last few weeks I have started my new job, which is going really great, Rob has survived the dreaded retrenchment process once again. I'm hoping this is because he is a diligent, and loyal worker who in all honesty has NEVER called in sick.
Also I have left my part time job and actually managed to sit in church yesterday and as usual the message seemed to be directed at me. This seems to happen more often than not, and since I don't believe that coincidences occur, it must mean that I am hearing what I need to hear to confirm my faith.
Those of you who know me, know that I go to church because being in a foreign country with no immediate (my own) family around me, it allows me a sense of community and family.
So yesterday I was told to get off the fence, choose to live in faith as a Christian or not but either way make a decision. I was then lucky enough to get to chat to one of the church elders and mentioned that the message seemed just for me and we chatted and then we prayed and it is amazing, after a few basic yet powerful words I know that once again my faith is secure.
I have realised that faith like everything else that is good, needs to be nurtured, it needs to be reinforced and fed everyday.
Zig Ziglar says that motivation is like bathing you need to do it daily, well so is faith. Today I choose to feed my faith. I have said a little prayer I am announcing to all that I am a Christian and proud and I am no longer hiding my light under a bushel.
It's also great that I have come to this realisation at a time of the year when we can't help feeling happy and joyous, so regardless of whether you are a Christian or not get ready for a season on love and joy and hopefully a full renewing of your faith in whatever it is you choose to believe.
In love and light
