FREE accommodation

Had a really interesting revelation today during church. The topic was…You are invited. And we were reminded that God invites himself to our place…to spend time with us in ‘our zone’ all the while He is preparing for us place in an eternal venue. As I got to thinking about this eternal venue He was preparing, I was reminded of times I have booked accommodation in the past years…and how I try to get a good deal with all the extras for the best amount of money…but really you only ever get what u pay for! So that makes me think two ways, firstly how awesome heaven is going to be, yet I don’t have to pay any bills (God has paid it for me – what an awesome package deal!)… and secondly that the time & money I spend down here on earth should be as investment for not just my place up there, but other peoples & so other people get to enjoy it also. Kinda like us here in UK saving now, to ‘send back home’, that kind of investment. We make our decisions based on that, we live our lifestyle around that, & our recreation & other luxuries come second to our saving. Kinda puts things into perspective really. I have come to see more clearly how to live life with a heavenly perspective.

28 -- A memorable year!

I have a theory that every 7 years a new era dawns…a new season in life starts. I can feel a new season starting for me…I have changed & grown so much in the past year…and I just know that things will be taking a different direction in the next 7 years to come.

God has really been teaching me things this year… I have been challenged in my thinking & a new focus for life has started to emerge.

I have come to see money & stuff as not important…and don’t need to be clung to!

I have been challenge to not be ashamed of God & that I should live my life as follower of Him out in the open.

I have realized how fast & short life is that I should be focuses on eternal things & making a difference in that realm.

I have also come to realize how significant I am & how much I am loved.

We want to serve God 100% and so we are preparing to do this in Ukraine. My friend gave me this encouragement the other night… “God has reminded me in the past that He will show Himself faithful & in difficult decisions such as these, you need to move forward with the info you have now & God will direct you as you move, not as you stand still!”

So as we plan & dream for life in Ukraine, we know that God is with us, loves us & will direct & provide for us!

BRING ON THE NEXT 7 YEARS!
