The Soul Of My Feet

Sometimes there’s the perception out there that ‘Christians’ some how have it all together. Well I’m about to debust that myth. For the last few weeks I have most certainly have not had it all together. I’ve been cranky, withdrawn and seriously considering whether I’m ever shining Gods light. I have been lusting over things we can’t afford, I’ve been yelling at my kids and thinking extremely bad if not evil thoughts. Perhaps in all of it it was a reminder that YES I am most definitely sinful, definitely do not have it all together and are consumed by the things of this world just like everyone else. BUT finally after days of feeling lost I  plucked up the courage to humbly to go back to the Cross and ask to be saved from my own demise and failures. Again and again He keeps taking me back which I’m so thankful for. So I’m back! Start college next week which is going to definitely pull me from my comfort zone, but I say bring it on!

Luke 15:7 ‘I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety nine just persons who need no repentance’

We have decided to see if we can take a break from the TV for 1 week. So this morning at 9am the TV got unplugged. Surprisingly the kids were ok with it, however the withdrawal symptons were kicking in at around 4 this afternoon. We didn’t realise how we depended on it around dinner time. I’m really proud of everyone for lasting the first day, the house has been so eerrrillly quiet and we’ve actually had a chance to talk to each other. If we meet the challenge we all go out on Sunday and do something special which Liams pretty excited about! We’ll let you know how day 2 goes!

Day 2: TV got plugged in at 3pm, Playschool won! But very impressed with the boys they spent the whole morning playing together which they haven’t done for a while, and they even started making up games. We cooked, did some craft and even did an activity on the fruits of the spirit so day 2 pretty successful!

Day 3: Mummy very soft, TV went on at 7am! Off again at 8am though as kids weren’t even watching it, pushed them outside!
Day 4: Heatwave conditions TV on most of day, oh well we’ll try again in Winter!

I’ve been off the air lately, lots going on but some exciting stuff too. I received my student no for SMBC so it’s official starting in February. There have been a quite a few forces against this decision  but I’m pushin through and shakin the dust off. To be honest I can’t wait to start this next part of the journey! Have been through many battles lately but thankfully my God is so faithful he’s brought me through the storm and I’m ready to go again. Bring it on I say!
