INSPIRATIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL STORIES ABOUT REAL LIFE
TRANSFORMING THE BRIDE
If we each maintain our own identity and function and accept everyone else’s identity and function as God given and as part of the whole, together we can transform the Bride of Christ because the Church will be known “because they love one another”. A tree will not survive if any one of the four components are missing so we need each other to grow in love and unity so we may be THE Bride and not many brides.
THE WHEEL HAS MADE A FULL TURN!
I hope if you have struggled to find that God is Love, you may have the scales removed from your eyes so instead of seeing everything within rigid black and white lines, you can see the radiant burst of color and light that emanates from Him through His creation and eventually be able to appreciate that He is Love and loves you with an everlasting love.
REFLECTIONS ON RETIREMENT
Difficult and diverse life circumstances build resilience and faith in Someone who is bigger than you, who cares for you, protects and provides even though you may not see it in the moment.
The Skip and Alignment with the Spirit Level
Art has that effect on me, something you can’t put into words, something that speaks directly to the soul.

When your new life is in place and you have done the hard work you will become that person God created you to be, as his Holy Spirit takes up residence and completes your transformation leading you into his ordained purpose.
FROM VICTIM TO VICTOR Learning, Overcoming rejection or Abandonment
Most of all learn to enjoy your own company while you are working through this loss, rather like a butterfly when it is in the chrysalis, quietly transforming on the inside, until you are ready to emerge in glorious technicolor.
ABANDONMENT, REJECTION OR MOVING ON- We Still Need Relationships
Rejection affects the way we think and feel about ourselves and can spiral out of control into a depression.
BLESSINGS OR CURSINGS
Sometimes we may have escaped from a situation where we felt like there was no fruit, no joy and no blessings, that we were being punished for what has gone wrong in our lives and bad choices we had made, our person-hood was under siege or we were the victim of other people’s choices. When next you look at trees, stop to think about what they symbolize –
MY TEARS ARE COLLECTED IN A BOTTLE
‘You have collected all my tears and preserved them in your bottle! You have recorded every one in your book.” Just as I came to realize when you must collect your own water, you wont waste it. How amazing that God will not let your tears be wasted either. He stores them for refreshment later.
