Saturday, July 30, 2016. Milestone birthdays have an effect on us. We reflect on past achievements, while simultaneously mourning opportunities passed;. Reliving distant memories, while planning distant futures. Mix-tapes, montages, bucket-lists, and resolutions. Today I turned thirty and I don't feel swayed by any of those. I'm not particularly sentimental - I don't hold on to the past, and I feel like I'm living the future already - tomorrow's plan is the same as today's. Know Jesus truly,. Some bring ...

PUT OUT INTO DEEP WATER: May 2016
http://putoutintodeepwater.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 24, 2016. This is a post I originally wrote on my other blog, Thearle Girl. Back in March 2014. I have been thinking about encouragement and words (as I often do) so thought I'd share these thoughts with you here. I’m a ‘words of affirmation’ kind of girl. Words, the right words, for me, bring life. No words, do not bring life. That doesn’t speak up when it could speak up.*. I feel this deeply; he’s learning this (for me and for others). We want to be encouragers of people. Life cannot be gi...

PUT OUT INTO DEEP WATER: June 2016
http://putoutintodeepwater.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Looking forward, looking back. Tuesday, June 28, 2016. I think I'm getting worse at waiting and I don't think I'm the only one. It doesn't matter if I'm waiting for a friend at a cafe,. Waiting on the phone for customer service, or. Waiting in a queue at a restaurant -. I'd rather be somewhere else, multi-tasking or distracting myself. I can't sit or stand there. just. waiting. We are distracted waiters. We are impatient waiters. We are frustrated waiters. In 2 Peter 3:14-18, Peter urges Christians to lo...

PUT OUT INTO DEEP WATER: January 2016
http://putoutintodeepwater.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29, 2016. Moving sucks. I'm exhausted! Our to do list is so long and all of the things are so big and overwhelming. so grown up! There are so many decisions to make: which removalist to use and do you choose on price or quality; what to do with your custom NSW number plates when you live interstate; how to become a landlord and privately lease your unit and how much should the rent should be; what furniture do you need in a house you haven't seen? I'm half joking, but I'm not. He's not sa...

PUT OUT INTO DEEP WATER: Abundant and infinite generosity
http://putoutintodeepwater.blogspot.com/2016/07/abundant-and-infinite-generosity.html
Abundant and infinite generosity. Thursday, July 28, 2016. I want to be a generous person. I presume you do too. Generosity is an incredible trait – being able to hold things not too tightly, to be open-handed, to give as we have been freely given to – yet why do so many of us struggle with it? I am happy to be generous, in fact I love being generous,. And I want my life and my home to be a welcoming and generous place. Since moving to Melbourne from Sydney, we have had many people stay in our home.

http://putoutintodeepwater.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Good is still happening. Wednesday, August 31, 2016. Our church runs a craft group where about 100 women come, chat and create for a couple of hours each Wednesday morning. Each week, someone shares for 3 minutes. I was asked to share and felt the Lord prompt me to share part of my story with them. I thought I'd also share it with you. Be working on my career, travelling the world, starting a family; I was told to stop: stop work, cease social engagements, and to rest. Will God remain my strength? Maybe ...

PUT OUT INTO DEEP WATER: An ego that works
http://putoutintodeepwater.blogspot.com/2016/10/an-ego-that-works.html
An ego that works. Monday, October 31, 2016. CS Lewis has written a lot of great words over the years:. The Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, Surprised by Joy, The Great Divorce. just to name a few. However, one statement in particular has challenged me, led me, encouraged me, followed me:. Humility is not thinking less of yourself,. It is thinking of yourself less.". Stop Read it again.
