24 Today!

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, Psalm 23:6

Today is my birthday! I have been thinking a lot recently about how good God is!

This year I have been blessed by God in so many different ways...

...employment whenever I have needed it, a perfect social work placement, passing my degree, the massive privilege of going on School of the Word. I have been given gifts of money, a car, a laptop, a very nice watch, a perfect flat in which to live. I have had amazing parents and good covenant friends who have always been there for me, as well as letters and text messages of encouragement. I have had brilliant leaders who have helped me to grow in God. I have been given big opportunities to see people's lives transformed. I have always had enough money. I have been kept safe. I have never been seriously ill. I have always had a bed to sleep in. God has always been faithful and He has never given up on me.

To live in the purposes of God is to live in the abundant prosperity and blessing of God. Let the world take a good look my life: It is a testimony to the goodness of God! :)

Just Imagine!

Apologies for such a long pause in my blogging!

In thinking about what I might do after this year on School of the Word, I have found myself continually coming back to this verse,

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine... Ephesians 3:20

If I were to make myself completely available to God, what dare I imagine?

One thing I know for sure, God has a lot more for us as the People of God. Let us be those that dream BIG!

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with eyes open, to make it possible. T.E Lawrence
