Happy New Year 2015

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!

I've decided that this post is going to be about my hopes and dreams for 2015. I've done my reflections, I've made peace with my wrongdoings in 2014 with God, I've forgiven those that hurt me and all though there is some residual stuff being dealt with at the moment that will slip into the new year I'm not going to allow it to dictate my year through the grace of God. 

My hopes and dreams for 2015 are; To have a deeper revelation of the love Jesus has for me. A deeper revelation of my heavenly home and how short and fleeting this life is and that things that happen here are just ultimately there to make me more like Christ. To trust my Lord and Saviour no matter what things he allows to enter in my life and whatever outcomes come from the residual stuff I mentioned above. To communicate better with my husband by being more patient, selfless and loving in my responses. To settle in my new work role and to be able to glorify God and lead children to him. To continue to love those who I once considered enemies. To never bring up the past because it has truly been covered by the blood of Jesus and we have been made as white as snow. If the past comes to mind to just hand it back over to Jesus at the cross and thank him for removing those things from my life. I believe there is going to be a refreshment of my spirit and of my earthly body so that I can endure whatever comes my way in 2015. I believe it's going to be a year of fruitfulness in all areas of my life. I hope for much travel in 2015 because it's something my husband and I love to do. I believe our marriage is going to shine brightly because of what Jesus did, not because anything we did. I sense that 2015 is going to bring our miracle twin baby boys. I'm so excited that this feels like the year of our double blessings that can only come from The Lord. I sense that many doors from the past will be closed once and for all which is going to free us from the weight it has put upon us. I've offered these burdens up to The Lord and I'm so very thankful that they are in his protective, loving hands. I believe many other doors are going to swing wide open with endless opportunities that not only happen in 2015 but I believe will offer endless opportunities throughout the rest of our lives. I believe in those coming years there will be missional opportunities in orphanages within Africa, Pemba Island and Jamaica. I believe in the future we will adopt many children also. I see a bright future ahead but not with out it's bumps in the road but ultimately we will never walk down the same painful past issues either. I believe once God is satisfied and has walked you through a struggle within your life he will not make you go through it again when you've gone about it the right way with God in the centre. I expect many joyful, peaceful moments with many laughs with my husband, family members and the children. I'm hoping for my family members to come to know The Lord, repent and accept him for all the days of their lives from this point forth. I see this miracle unfold after our baby blessings. I believe those who I've forgiven will also come to know The Lord in a personal relationship and be blessed within the future also. I believe Gods hand of protection, correction and blessing is over myself, my husband and our children. 

I believe 2015 is the year of fulfilment, refreshment and things coming to light. I cannot wait to see what God does this year. Keep close and keep an eye on this blog section because God is always willing and ready when we have faith to believe in the earthly impossibles.

God Bless you all,

A Fruitful Year Ahead.

When God shows you favour...

Have you ever experienced extreme storms in your life and during that storm you've leant in closer to our amazing creator to then only be shown unmerited favour? Well, I can say that 6 months ago I would have never thought he would bother to bless me ever again since my marriage was in the biggest mess it could possibly be in. As I sit here and look back on the blessings in my life during this past year of trials I'm starting to clearly see where Gods hand has been. I can honestly say before today it has been quite difficult to see any such blessings because the pain and suffering was blocking my view however, today there is a little light shining through. 

Heavenly Father, I just want to thank you for always being in control of our lives and always having a plan beyond our own thought restrictions. I thank you for salvaging my marriage from the depths of hell and I thank you that in your word we will receive double for our trouble. I'm learning to trust you and to trust that this time of discipline is for my benefit. I want to thank you for blessing me with my husband and helping me to be more like you during our trials together. I thank you for the growth I'm seeing so clearly in him and I thank you for beginning to remove the "hurt scales" from my eyes so that I can see the man I love so clearly as well as myself being your beautiful blessed daughter. I also want to thank you for never leaving me, nor forsaking me and having a plan to see me prosper beyond my wildest dreams just as long as I keep relying on you. I'm sorry for the times I try to take control of the reins time and time again but I thank you that you do not get angry with me and stay by my side whilst walking me through it. I thank you for blessing us with this new and wonderful adventure we are currently on and that you answer even the smallest of requests. You continue to amaze me and you do it so quietly that I could easily miss your blessings if I don't keep my eyes and heart focused on you. Thank you for bringing this awareness to my heart. I love you daddy in Jesus name, Amen!

As you can see I've just had a significant revelation so I had to take the time to acknowledge that. Thank you Jesus!

May God Bless You All,

Growth beyond measure!

Changing Roles

          

Today's post is simply about something that has happened recently in my life and boy it's a miracle. It's just some of the over flow from my husband and I handing our lives back over to Gods very capable hands. I know, our lives were never our own but it's funny how sometimes we can try to pretend like they are and that we have a handle on things haha. Anyway, if you've been reading my blog from the start you maybe aware that my husband and I have been going through a really rough season these past 10 months, all though things are becoming more settled only through the grace of God. For the past week my husband has begun to like cooking! I know it seems so small and not worth acknowledging but if you really knew my husband you'd know that this is a MIRACLE. He and I have always been food lovers in the eating sense but lately my husband has found joy in cooking. It started out at his work where he would bake cookies and cakes for the children but he would bring me one home most times because he knew I would enjoy it. Then just two days ago he decided that he wanted to cook dinner and dessert and of course as the main food provider I was more than happy to have a break from standing over the stove. It's really not important as to what he cooked but that he is doing it simply because he had a revelation of what it means to be like Christ is to the church. There has been a clear message in all the sermons he has been listening to recently about roles within a marriage and what it truly means to be a leader within a household. The bible states that husbands are to love their wives and wives are to respect their husbands. My husbands revelation is truly showing his deep love for Christ and for me. He's serving me, showing me acts of kindness and not just because he wants something out of it but simply because he wants me to feel appreciated and loved. He's also seen what price Jesus had to pay for his sins and realises just how much he has to be thankful for. He's not the only one that has had a revelation. Through his acts of kindness I've experienced what it means to be a daughter of the most high. An heir to the throne. My heart has experienced a new level of healing through his willingness to be selfless. I'm so appreciative for my husband and I have gained a new level of respect for him. Not for the act itself but the intent in his heart. You see men, you treat your lady like royalty and not just for some twisted sense of self gain, it will pay off!

I will say that the meals were absolutely stunning! Amazing tasting foods. It's become a new hobby as he's been cooking the last 2 days and plans to cook tonight. 

I'm just so thankful for the growth in the both of us. My husband is my treasure sent from heaven as well and I'm thankful that God could see what amazing potential my husband and I had and deemed us worth saving. Thank You Jesus!

God Bless, 

Fit for a Princess!
