What a site.

Blogging for now….

A friend told me I need to bolg a little more. So here I am. Blogging. I guess writing things out or journaling is a way of getting out thoughts. Sometimes it can keep people sane. Or keep us from going insane. I don’t know, it is what it is.

Yep. Where to begin… it has been a big week. Full of different emotions, some decisions have been made regarding the future, I’ve had stress on my responsibilities, pressure to capture all the moments and not enough sleep. I have become more frustrated with my busy and packed life. I recently watched a movie called ‘Gravity’. A film that was released this year. If you have seen it, one minute it makes you want to be in space, and the next- you never want to go! My point is- in the film, there are two people in space- they have a conversation… Now just imagine it’s you and I- sitting out there. It’s dark, the stars and universe surround us and are clearer then ever before. We are apart of them. The silence is beckoning, and we are staring at the earth from the biggest birds eye view you could have. We are on the out side looking in. We can see the city lights that shape the side of countries to the east. On the west, the sun is shining and slowly making its way around the other side of the earth. It’s peaceful, and beautiful all at once. We’re no longer a part of what happens down there. We are no longer caught up in the culture, the little dramas of life, or caught up in the society we were apart of. Time doesn’t matter. It’s just you and I, in the silence. Our hearts are warmed.

 

Okay okay OKAY, take a break from that visual in your brain for a sec. Take a look around you. The things in front of you, the screen you’re possibly holding or reading from. The people you have near you, the neighbours you have, the friends you have made, the relationship you have, the relationships you have lost, the loved ones that have gone, and the drama you may or may not have going on in your life…….. it can seem messy hey? I guess that’s how I can look at my life sometimes. As much of a blessing things are, it can be messy, full on and a lot to handle. And sometimes, honestly- I would rather be in space, looking down on creation, no drama, no responsibility, and the silence. It’s hard to make time or be in a space (see what I did there)  of your own in this crazy world. But it got me thinking…

While we are here, while we’re in this space, we have a short time. What impact do you want to have on the world? In your work place, in your school, in your friendship group, in your relationship, in your kids lives. Are you going to be all that God created you to be? All the plans he has for you now?

That world we saw, the lights, the beautiful creation, the one from space… yep that one. He created it for us, FOR US! Not because of us. Ever wondered if there is something bigger? I’ve got news for you… There is something bigger. His name is God. And He loves you. This world may feel messy, broken, or like nothing ever goes right. God never promised that things would be perfect. He just asks us to Trust Him, to Obey Him, and believe in Him. To live in full abundance of His Grace. He who is in you is alive! The god of the universe wants to know you. Wants to have a relationship with you, and wants the best for your life.

How do I know this? Well because I have experienced the living God, I have accepted Him in to my heart and into my life, and do you think without him I would be able to live in this world? Or even be here. I wouldn’t ever be able to do life without Him. In Him I have a true and meaningful purpose, I have life to the full. And all I need is His love.  John 10:10- I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

It’s not easy, walking in faith, it has its highs, and it has its lows. It’s often a struggle to trust God 100%- and that’s normal. We all fall short in the Glory of God. We are all tempted and are being run down by our own sin, and what our life has brought us. God says, TRUST in me all who are weary and weak, and I will give you rest!  Isaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

We don’t need to go into space, (as much as that would be insanely awesome).

He is all we need. No matter what question you may be asking yourself. Jesus is the answer.

 

Well, that’s what I got onto… Who knows if its normal to even get that deep- all the time haha I hope you have a good day and enjoy the space God has given you.

Peace readers.
