I'm Melting...In Spring!

Wow, what glorious days we have had down here this past week. Boy I felt sure that is was summer not spring! But glorious as it was today the floodgates of heaven were opened and down came the rain.

But let's look at the beautiful week that has just passed us by... the afternoons were perfect for enjoying the sunshine,

Hoping to get a tan one of these days.....preferably not skin cancer....just a little sun absorption =D.

But yeah, it's bee real nice over here in Australia. We have our yearly exams on at the moment, so your prayers would be accepted graciously. Blue Skies will be comin' soon...I hope....

The gardens are alive with colour and life, how many gorgeous spring butterflies I have seen, with the sun on my back I could sit in a garden all day taking photo after photo of the little joys in life that God has provided us with.

And even more than that our garden is in it's prime time! We have gorgeously big tomatoes growing great! Just pulled in a big crop of rocket, spinach and strawberries, I'm even beginning to some baby squashes! Flowers are everywhere, showing that fruit is on it's way...

Can't wait to get picking!! I can't wait for summer! I can't wait for camping, I can't wait till Christmas!!!!

Who I want to Be...

There is a person behind every cold glare that is longing to be loved, even in every warm smile there is a soul longing for affection. Everybody has goal, places they wish they were, places they want to go, who they want to be.

I don't know all that yet, I know I want to travel the world and share the sights with everyone I know, I know I want to serve God wholeheartedly, I know that I want to help the helpless, I know that I want to be the one that people turn to, I want to be the light, the joy the fun.

I know that I don't want to be cold, hated or mean, I don't want to be a warning to others I don't want to be pityed, I don't want to be disregarded, I don't want to be rejected for who I am.

On the bus this morning I revised the person that I want to be and to be seen as. I found that I want....

• I want my praise and worship to God to be genuine,
• I want to be changing and moving forward (not backwards) in my relationship with God,
• I want to be a good example to others,
• I want to be loved for who I am, not who I'm TRYING to be,
• I want to be a lighthouse to the lost,
• I want to shine brightly in this world, so that no-one will not know that I am a child of God,
• I want to have a caring heart, a loving heart, I want my heart to be compassionate towards others,

I want my life to be filled with these things, I want my life to be overflowing with God and the things of him, I have plenty of things I want to be and don't want to be, I'm praying that I'll be able to achieve all this and more for the glory of my God.
