I am a daughter of God, wife, a mother of 6, Pastor’s wife, Childbirth Educator…….

God lover first, husband lover second, kids lover third, brother and sister lover fourth…the rest have to just fit in……..

I love God, I love my children, I love my husband, I love my church, I love my brothers and sisters in God.

See above for clarification…..

My interests are varied I am an ex school teacher/ childcare worker now a Homeschooler,

This is so introverted, I really am just interested in spurring people on to greater heights with God especially woman and kids I meet.

I love children of all colours and creeds.

Ahhhhh kids, I wanna eat them, many years ago when James and I were first married (on our honeymoon to be exact, nothing like having it all up front!!) I had a vision a dream really, I saw HUNDREDS of babies all swaddled and cuddly, but they were all lined up in cots (I think) and they were waiting for me…..but what was significant was they were all different colours.

There were African babies, Asian babies, English babies, Hispanic babies, European Babies, Aussie Babies, Aboriginal babies……every colour imaginable…….and they were mine!!! As a relatively new Christian at the time I did not understand, but a Spirit filled woman who we met in Hawaii said to me that these were spiritual babies……ahhhh now I understood. (I thought I would have to breastfeed them all!!!! Blessed are the Paps that gave thee suck, but this is rediculous) I also realised that these were babies in the Spirit (adults too) but God really has given me a passion for the little ones…and their mothers

Thus began my love affair with THE CHILD….it was in me before I got saved and just grew after I got saved…..more  purpose and direction. I have since worked with many mother’s and babies from all cultures ……. African mothers and babies, Polish mothers, Aussie mothers, Aboriginal and Islander Mothers and more…..what an honour and a priveldge.

I am not afraid of getting dirty, meeting the unlovely, the ungodly the hurt and the ugly

Sometimes these sites are so sanitised they sicken me….we live in such a pretty world (and yes we do!!), but reality is most people live in poverty and squalor. As Christians we need to expose ourselves to this reality and I would encourage you to GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE and do something…..get dirty, get real, hug someone who stinks, talk to a person who seems poorer than you, reach out and be real, be honest with things you do not understand, admit to the poor you have never been poor, to the lonely that you do not understand….but introduce them to the one who does Jesus….He was poor, stricken forsaken and hungry…..

I would also encourage you to take a peep at our dear friend’s blog, Mark and Chris have been buddies forever and if nothing can pierce you Mark will pierce you with his straight Christianity and convicting manner I kinda cringe when there is a new post….what part is gonna be stripped today.

We are visiting and staying in His Slum in Baseco Manila for 3 months to do the little we can, but more on that later……

I love beauty colours, fabrics, scrapbooking, little girl’s clothes,

Ahhhhh in stark contrast, God made such lovely things I am a sucker for colour and kids, clothes is my weakness, needless to say I supplement my addiction with eBay and Oztion sales…..I am trying to scrapbook our Russia UK holiday I am sooooo behind, but I love doing it. So I plod on (I did cart home 20kg of brochures etc….so I had better do someting with them!!! Here  are my links to my shop on Oztion and my Ebay site where I sell occassionally.

I love doing and being the unexpeceted. I love missions….

I guess I do the unexpected, we take 6 kids to Russia and the UK, we go for 3 months to Manila, we like doing the unexpected….without some risk in life, life would just BE and you are not really LIVING…..me I choose LIFE and LIVING!!!!

I love God, this is my diary of truth and a glimpse into my spirit man.

Why do I write, I feel I am being obedient to God, I am a talker so I guess writing is the next best thing!! But sometimes I just want to give where I did not have, I want to deposit where I was not deposited into, I want to impart where I was never imparted to……I want younger woman to achieve things I never achieved when I was younger, and I want women my own age to be encouraged to reach out and JUST DO IT!! I want older women to impart, discuss and challenge me……my desire is to be a servant to all.

Enjoy.
