Just as the sun brings life to the world, God will bring life unto me.

Have you ever woken up not wanting to start your day? You're still under your doona, and its the best place on earth. Why would anyone want to start the day when your consumed by cosiness? 
This is my constant battle.....every morning. (Especially now I'm working full time). I'm defiantly not a morning person!
In that moment, I think of all the things my day will involve, from beginning to end. All the things I have to do, the people I will see and the time it will take, and when ill be back in my bed again... ready to start the day again. And then I think of how many more minutes I can enjoy not doing all those things.
I'm sure most of you can agree or relate somehow! Life is hard or it can be. Facing tough situations isn't easy and not everyone can't make you happy. The world cannot make you happy! we are constantly searching for more. Weather you know it or not.

This morning wasn't different, I lay there doing exactly this. Overthinking. It's probably a girl thing, or just a normal human thing. Maybe girls can just admit it more! Anyway...  I started to think about the sun, and all its goodness!  It makes morning, creates our light and a whole new day. Everyday the sun rises, yes we all know that..
I guess a lot of the time we don't see it because its up before we are. Or we want it to stay still so we can sleep just a little bit longer. But it still somehow seems to creep through my curtains and onto my face.
There have been times on the rare occasion where I have gotten up to watch the sunrise. If you have ever done this you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say it's so incredibly peaceful. There is something special about it. As the edge of the sun, touches the face of the earth, the colours in the sky change, the birds sing and awaken, and the crisp air that fills my lungs makes me feel so content.
I remember the feeling of serenity and peace. And having no doubt in my mind that God is here.

It makes me think of the promises God has for us...
  Hosea 6:3 "As surely as the sun rises, He will appear. He will come to us".
God is here, He is alive, and just as the sun rises, He will come to us.
This makes my day feel a whole lot better. Why? Just because I have Jesus.
I couldn't imagine life without him.
For me- A life without a Jesus, is like a life without sun.
The sun plays an important part in life. Of course we all need our little dose of vitamin D. But the Sun brings life.. the earth without the sun, wouldn't be able to survive!
Like this, I or all of us cannot survive without God. Without Jesus.
Its my personal relationship with Him that I know He is here. I know He has my heart. Even when I'm constantly overthinking things, or when I am weak. I know that He is God. And that's all that ever seems to truly matter. The best thing is, is that I have peace when I need it most. In those times, when I can no longer do it by myself, when I don't want to get out of bed and face the day....
John 16:33 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled nor let it be fearful".....
I have peace knowing the God of the universe knows my heart, and has gone before me.
So before I get out of bed, I give my day to God. I let him in, He brings me life, He brings me joy. And even though sometimes life brings heart ache, even though life brings troubles, weakness, sadness, and hurt. My God, our God, has already overcome that!
 John 16:33 (continued) "...I have told you these things, so that you may have peace. In this world you have troubles. But take heart, I have overcome the world".
This is probably my favourite bible verse.
Knowing that a God has overcome everything, and I no longer have to worry about anything. For me its not about what God can do for me, although sometimes we all fall short of his glory. Its more about what I can do for God. After all He gave it all, a He gave everything for me.
 
This is one of those times where I watched the sunrise. I was on coffee shop down in Port Fairy. I remember waking up. Ebony, Jack and Sam all came down with me. We walked 1.5kms to the lighthouse where the sun was just coming up over the horizon.
 
So in conclusion.. I will try,  to start my day consumed by Gods grace. By His presence and promises. Trusting that He has already overcome all the trials and disappointments in my life.

Peace readers! Hope your life is full of sunshine :)

calling amongst money.

Hello friends & blog readers.

My first thought that has been in my mind the last few weeks is money. sounds silly hey? But when you live in todays culture, you can understand. I think to all extremes... how little I can end up or seem to be earning, where my money goes, what I need with my money, where I should put my money, what my money can get me, how much my money can get me, and how much I can satisfy myself with the money I have. We are all selfish when it comes to money. And honestly- how ridiculous is it? How our world revolves around it, and how we have to have it, in order to survive. Most people love money, I have to admit- I do love it. Only because it can get me things, and keep me in a balanced place. But I also have this hate for it- you could understand. How much more money we tend to want, when we actually have more or need more. It's un deniable. This world revolves around money. And it's annoying as heck.

I'm okay to admit- I have recently found myself having less of it, with bills having to be payed, and the amount of work I wasn't getting was kicking my bank account in the butt.Im sure some of you can relate. Going from working 4 days a week, to working only one shift a week was hard. But I know God provides. He always does!100% if you trust in Him!

  Before you get to antsy about reading this (cause it's such a tough and touchy subject for some) You may disagree and agree, who knows. But know that I mean no harm done.

So I  was earning less, and I was trying to spend less. But things add up and  in this world you need things, like toiletries, food, petrol, things like birthday presents and pay bills, and car rego. (Not so fun for all those Part time workers). Some of us are lucky, some work full time, and some of us are either studying or in between jobs. Weather we like it or not- we all need money to live and get by in our culture. Our economy is like a constant vacuum cleaner.

A story about how God provides in ways we may not expect ...
Summer 2012 was coming up,  the job I had was at a café 4 days a week. It was good to be earning a decent amount. Soon the café was slowing- so sooner then later they we cutting every one's shifts, which lead to having no shifts at all. I only had a few photography jobs coming up over summer. Which I could maybe scrape through... if I kept to a tight budget.
Next thing I knew- my camera broke- my only income for the next 2 months.
I didn't know what to do, I prayed, and trusted that God would provide (well tried to). I got my small group (at the time) to pray and all I could do was worry and wait. I was lucky my camera had one month left of warranty- so I sent it off to be fixed. Though they said it could take up to 2 months to be fixed. Of course, I panicked. But it wasn't the end of the world. God had bigger things planned...
the start of December I went away on a young adults camp with church. Of course I stayed with my small group. My awesome small group.
At the end of the amazing weekend, my small group got together and gave me 600 dollars they had all put in together. WOW- what a blessings, that was the most money I have ever been given. And at a point where I had nothing- some how I had everything. I had the Love of Jesus... and 600 dollars haha
It couldn't get me close to a camera, but it was a start- and I am so very thankful to this day to them all! So knowing that it couldn't get me a camera, I decided it was going to be put towards it of course. So I put it away. About a week later an old friend who was a photographer wrote a post saying how she was selling an old 5D camera and that if you were interested- to message her.. Expecting the price to be around 1,500 dollars- I thought Id just ask..
She got back to me within the minute saying that she was selling it for 600 dollars.
WHAT!?
I was mind blown- but at the same time- why should I be?
That week- I picked up my camera, and I was able to do my photography jobs over summer. God provided in ways I never would of thought. At the same time, the people in my small group were encouraged. And I was grateful. I have no doubt that God provides. It's just in ways we least expect.

Some of you may be thinking- But I don't have a small group, or people who will just hand me money? You know what- I didn't think I did, until it happened. Yes I was fortunate and very lucky, it was Gods way of providing forme. But it doesn't mean He doesn't have a way of providing for you.

I have seen God do some amazing things in my bank account, with my work and wherever he leads me. I can get down to the last dollar in my account, and I will still have faith that God will provide- He always does.
And yes I'm not saying that we have to work hard for our money- sometimes we have to work really hard for our money- but that being said I am also certain that God will be a constant support and provider if you let him.

It says in the bible- Money is basically the only thing we can really test God with.
Malachi 3:10-12
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! 11 Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease.[a] Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 12 “Then all nations will call you blessed, for your land will be such a delight,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
 
I believe God doesn't want our life to revolve around money- HE wants us to give our finances to Him. This doesn't mean physically handing our money over to the church, it means living a life full of Christ and not relying on money to be your constant saviour. Because we all know- no matter how many new things we buy- we are always going to be wanting something... New.

Although our life will always involve money, it doesn't have to revolve around it.

Now working two jobs, one of which I really don't like- I need to save, I need to live- so sometimes we have to put up with a little hard work, and a little tough love in order to earn a living. Honestly- money is the only reason why I am there.  But it can only go up. Instead of complaining, I should just change my perspective. I guess we all don't like working, some of us do- for example I LOVE doing photography, and one day I do hope I can do that full time, but for now, I'm still working my way up- so I have to keep going with the now, so I can have the later... And I have noticed God defiantly places you somewhere for a reason. Although I hate my job, I have found that giving my day to God changes my heart. Instead of going there with a mind set of " lets just get through this day" I got there with the mind set of "Lets grow the kingdom". I have seen a radical change in my relationships and my attitude towards work.
There is a lady- Inette. She is 75, (though she doesn't even look close to it) still working a few hours a day in this café I am at. Although some people aren't the nicest at work, and she and I get a few negative words. Inette and I like each other. Since our little "You're nice so I like you" bonding sesh, I have found out a few things about her.
She is from Holland, one of 10 kids. She is one of only two left out of her siblings, she lost 8 of them to lung cancer because they all smoked. She didn't. She goes to church every Sunday, and she has a carer that comes and does physio with her every week. She loves working still. ( I think it keeps her moving and going) she has a really nice smile. And we like each other. Why? well, because we are nice haha
Inette lost her husband of 43 years a month ago. She told me, and I wanted to cry.
There is another lady at work, she can be lovely, but in some cases I guess she chooses not to be. She is obviously broken ( as we all are), she doesn't have the patients for Inette, maybe because Inette is a little old, and likes to talk about her life. But considering she has no one to talk to anymore- of course she want to come to work and talk- or want a friend. Not even that- she probably just wants someone to listen to. And Im happy to listen. I like Inette.

I guess my point is- it doesn't matter where you are, I have realised over and over again, is that your calling is bigger then the money you earn at your job, or the worldly reason why you are there. Our calling is for relationship. Not just to love other people, but to have a constant relationship with Christ. To grow his kingdom and share the love He has for me, with as many people as possible. I may not want to be at this job, but there is a season for everything. So right now- I am giving all my seasons to God, because His hand and feet work far beyond mine. And His calling, is bigger then my own.
Instead of focusing on the way I can be impacted, I have to think of the ways I can impact others in the setting I am in. And be thankful that even though I may not like something, that God can change my heart. He can change yours too. If you let him! In the end, we cant take our bank accounts of material things when we die, but we can grow His kingdom, and continue in His love story.

Hug them a little more.

 Isn't it funny that when you lose someone, or something, your world changes. Your heart changes, and you suddenly feel like something you had is missing. It's hard to describe, but when you lose something, you can almost feel lost yourself. Sometimes loosing someone doesn't take long to sink in, other times our hearts refuse to allow the truth to become real. We'd rather not accept that they are gone, or that you will never see them again.
I'm sure we have all lost something or someone weather it be a friend, family member, a child or a loved pet. It still hurts no matter what. It doesn't change the pain of losing them. And it doesn't change reality, no matter how often we expect them to walk in the door, or for them to magically show up in our lives again. We wish to see them just one more time. Or have one more moment.

 I guess in this world, we try so hard to hold onto the things and people we have, we can forget that in that moment- it could be your last, their last. What would you say or do differently if you knew it was the last moment you were to ever see that someone again.
There are always parts of my life I would change. I'm sure there are moments in anyone's life they would change. But we can't! The past is the past, and life just seems to go on.
Maybe I would speak my mind a little more, tell that person how I really feel, hug just a little bit longer, and love a little more. Be less selfish and more selfless.
But It shouldn't take losing someone to realise this, we should always love beyond our capability.
And this makes me think, How often do we take people for granted?
How often do we push people around, and not speak words of life into someone, when we have the chance.
The people around you have been placed there for a reason, instead of seeking love & acceptance from all of them, maybe you have been placed in their life to love and accept them.

And this doesn't help the pain of losing someone, I guess we all fear things like death, losing someone, and not being here, or the things we will miss out on. We don't know why bad things happen, or people die unexpectedly. We can't change what is going to happen, but we can change our perspective and our attitude when it does. Even though that can seem impossible, Gods grace can change ANYTHING!  We cling onto the hope that God gives us, the love that he offers, and the peace he restores in our hearts when fear becomes painfully enduring. Sometimes it is all we have, sometimes its all we can see in the darkness. God.

When it comes to losing someone, I find the memories flood my mind  When I think of the , the good times, the bad, but the first thing that comes to mind every time, with out a doubt, is the last time I saw them. The last time I will ever see them. The goodbye you had, or didn't have, their smile and their hugs, and the love you felt for them comes back to the surface, and as tears well up in your eyes, you know that hey meant more to you in this life then they will ever know.
 I guess it's part of letting go, but no matter what I will still hold onto hope. Still remember who they were to you and who you were to them. The difference they made in your life, and who you would be without them.

Loss is a painful thing. So my challenge to you, who ever you may be, is to Live a life full of love, laughter and no regrets. Live each moment as it comes, but don't take anyone or the time you have left for granted. Don't hesitate to go beyond the line, and live your dreams.

Not that I have lost anyone recently, it's always a good reminder to love the people around you.
This photo gives you some perspective of what I'm trying to say, no matter who you are, Love a little more, appreciate people more, & always HUG a little more.

Peace, Kath

Restoration.

Another blog about the things streaming through my brain. Feel free to either read on or not to. I honestly don't care!
 
What a few weeks it has been. Mixed signals, and emotions, hard work, plenty of rest, different and weird times, and a bigger hope for the future. My future.
I have been on a few adventures, past times, decision making, and realising who and what matters and little things in my world keep on changing... nether the less, my brain seems to go on overload mode after a little while.
You know what I miss? My family. The one I grew up knowing. The one that seemed so perfect, so loving, and so normal. I have realised though, that no one is perfect, no family is perfect. and weather we like it or not sometimes people can walk away from love. And in response, sometimes we have to watch them take every step. Maybe we have different paths after all.
Growing up everything seemed happier, and everyone seemed to get along better. Maybe that was the child me being completely oblivious to the real world. But then again, people change, grow and get older. We learn new things about the people we have in our lives, and realise those ones who found it so easy to walk out were maybe only meant for a season, or a small chapter. But despite that- they make us who we are now.
Have you ever had someone walk out of your life? Someone you loved, someone who you thought you would never lose, someone who was always there, and now you're unsure that they might not be again. Recently- this happened. And I'm still trying to work my head around it. I don't understand completely, because I'm not the kind of person who will ever choose to walk out of someone's life. I'm not saying I haven't before- sometimes we need to realise the people who are going to make us, or break us. But it is hard when the chapter ends, or the season changes, and certain people are no longer in your life. To walk away from love- any kind of love- is hard, and heart breaking. Soon they become non-existent, someone you no longer know, you forget to worry, they become a picture or memory in your head, and somehow things will never be the same.
 
I know this sounds like such a depressing post haha! and you know- you're right!  (but just keep reading)
 
Sometimes things aren't the same. There is only one love that doesn't fade, walk away from you, walk away from your relationship, and walk away from hope.
My God. My loving, everlasting, strong, dependant and hopeful God. And despite all those things that hurt, betray, disappoint, leave and beckon you into sin. God does the opposite. He acts in kindness, gives complete and humble strength, loves beyond this world, and gracefully gives you peace. In the hard times, I often have to remind myself, even though things aren't as well as they should be- It is well within my soul, because I know the God of the universe. And in those times of weakness, in those times of disappointment, and when I have no idea which path I should be taking, He whispers to me " I am BIGGER"! and suddenly, all my worries, all my fears and my doubts sink beneath me, my heart starts to sing and my lungs start to breathe.
My heart is no longer feeling empty, my soul knows her creator and life seems so small. Nothing matters, and in this silence I hear my friend calling and beckoning me into His direction.
 
When time's get tough, when people walk away- instead of running away yourself, humble your heart and place your worries and fears at the feet of Jesus. Because weather you know it or not- He already has them. He is just waiting for us to accept it, accept His love.
 
All of a sudden, it doesn't matter. All of the hurt, that pain, which direction or path I should take, those people who walk out of your life, the love tat was lost, or the home that was gone. the only thing that matters is God, and my salvation, peace and sufficiency and passionate LOVE that he has for me. He can take away my burdens, my sorrow, and all of my confliction with this world, and take me to a place where nothing but His kingdom matters.
 
Thank-you Jesus for the restoration of my soul, and the perfect peace you constantly give.
 
 
Even though things change, love is lost, and people are no longer an important part of your life. It is good to remember these promises, to thank God for all the times you did have. Because now- it's a new season, a new chapter, and God is shaping your heart. I have hope for my future and yours. Get ready to embrace LIFE and life at it's fullest!

We can hide in the darkness, or we can stand in the light.

Ever have one of those moments in life where nothing makes sense?
Everything leading up to this point has, but now your stuck, confused and uncertain of where to go.
I'm sure this is a cycle after change. whatever the change may be.
For me, I knew this year would be a season of change. Little did I know that my whole world felt like it was changing. Then again, it could be me. What I expected this year to be, and how different reality can be to your minds perception. I think our natural instinct has humans, is to hope. Hope for the best possible outcome, the best possible way, for the next problem to be resolved, and for life to go on.
well sometimes, only one of those things happen one hundred precent of the time.
 
 .Life goes on.
 
No matter what changes may occur in your life, the uncertainty you may feel now. The loss's you had. The things you had to learn or are learning to let go of, the past you try and forget, the pain that is hiding beneath your smile, and feeling like no one understands, somehow we still have hope.
 
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
 
We may not know what lays ahead on this path we call life. I have no idea what's around the corner. this year has been completely different to what I had thought. But life does in fact go on. We can hide in the darkness, or we can stand in the light.
]In this case, god is my light, and as easy as it has been to forget He is always there, I confide in Him.
 

 
 
Peace readers.

"I have overcome"

Hey, so I'm having one of those 'Need to blog moments" If you're a blogger you will understand, or if you like to questioning things, vent, think radically on life, think or simply write things down- you will understand. Which would probably be most of us.

I don't really know where I was going to begin with this blog. It's hard to think of something interesting enough, but I realised even if you give up half way through, or find this boring- I don't care. So if you would like to continue... please :)

Well it's April- what the heck. Last time I felt like I blinked it was New Years. It's funny how time just keeps going, life just keeps going, (sorry for pointing out the obvious)
One thing that really made me realise this recently was a death I had heard of. And I know death has the tendency to make us think "YOLO, or live the best life- cause you only get one, or Tomorrow may never come" Yes, all those things come rushing to our human heads when we think of death. Which I'm guessing is normal..And honestly- We're all going to have to face it weather we like it or not.

Anyway, it was a death that effected some of my family. (Not to many details) This man Had 3 young Children all under the age of 3, and a beautiful wife. He died about a year after being diagnosed with cancer. A man of good faith. A sad passing, that has effected many people.
What I'm trying to get at here is not death it's self, but the life we have to live. I guess I made me realise that no matter where you are in life, if you have the best job, if you have that girlfriend you always dreamed of, you just bought that new car, or if you simply got through the week without doubting yourself. It's the relationships that count. The people we may one day leave behind, or the people we have seen move on. We are ultimately created for relationship. Yet we become so caught up in the things we have, or the things we don't have.
 
-John 15:16-
I chose YOU, I wanted YOU, I appointed YOU. I set you where you are.

Speaking of I met up with  a few older friends a few weeks ago, it was good to see them after a few years.. They went on about jobs, the new bands, celebrities, and life outside their own bubble...As I sat there wondering what they were living for, what they strived to get out of this life, how they could sit there talking about everyone else's relationships or faults... it got me realising. I don't want to do that. Though its not wrong, in fact its normal, I couldn't see what they were trying to achieve- making their lives seem better by bragging out others, or becoming so absorbed in the world that they don't realise what they're searching for.

(Going completely onto another subject but ill wrap it up I promise)

One thing that I have also learnt about is that our Souls and Spirits are different. Often I thought of them being the same. and in a way they are- but our Spirit is the living thing that God created for Him to dwell in, for us to be wholly pure. Our soul is the part that's us?  the good, the bad, the damaged, broken, loved us. And our Body/Mind, where we fall, fail, face the day, or become weak at the knees. Often I found myself looking at only my Physical and mental state, it's so easy to not realise or forget with what the world tells us or feeds us that the Spirit doesn't exist. Well, it sure does.

Exodus 14:14
The Lord will fight for you, you need only to BE STILL.

What I'm getting at here is that we are all searching, for that deep love, Our spirit is searching for something the world can't give us. That no boy/girl, no drug, no materialistic, or possession can give us, we are all searching for that deeper relationship with God alone.
 
John 14:8
If God is all you have, you have all you need.

Now ask yourself honestly...When I mentioned death before- Did it scare you? To think that maybe you wont have tomorrow, Maybe it brought up someone you know that is ill or has passed recently, or maybe that you could just die. (sorry for the honesty)
You know, I think we can all get a bit teary, a little queasy thinking of it. But you know one thing?
If you can only see one thing- that Jesus already paid the price for ALL our sin, that He overcame the world. He has a plan for your life, and that deeper love you have been searching for can be filled with the love God has for you. Death may not look as gloomy, your life may start to feel like it has a purpose, and you wont be living for nothing.

I know that's how I feel, finding that pure and honest love that no one, not even my own conscious can take away, because He is in me. and He has overcome the world.

John 16:33
Take heart, for I have overcome the world.
 
Do me a favour- listen to this song. Not only is it amazing but I promise the lyrics are God sent. He will fight for you.
 
Peace readers,

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.
