Lots has been happening over the last month..i think its time for a wee update..
At the end of February I was blessed to be able to attend the Todd Bently Conference in Auckland. It was an awesome few days of being inspired, and seeing God do powerful things. I felt like God used this time to confirm to me some things that he had been speaking to me about- which is always good!!
After this time in Auckland I moved to new house in Papamoa, and have been here nearly a month. Its near the beach and is a HUGE blessing. I headed up to Auckland afew weeks back and spoke and lead worship at Aglow North Shore. It was a special time of being in the presence of God. I returned home on the Friday and had Lunch with a good friend Deb - we went to the local christian Bookshop and we both ended up getting a book called "The Deborah Company". I read this book last week and it has really encouraged me and challenged me. I have been in the process of making some decisions regarding things I will be doing this year and through reading this book, i knew it was time to make the decision. I have the opportunity to help Algow NZ in reaching the next generation of woman of our nation- and the nations... so I have said yes to this opportunity. Its a big faith step... and its exciting.. yet a little scary to... but i am excited. I have really been challenged about stepping up and using the gifts that God has given me- and be who he has made me to be. I want to encourage others to do the same - and I know that by being part of Aglow ministry this will be able to happen.
I just went for a walk on the beach this morning with my Dad - who stayed the night... as I was walking I felt a bit of a challenge to be more intentional about sharing the awesome news of Jesus with other people. I wonder sometimes why I'm sooooo shy, and not out their with my faith. I mean hello... we have the best news in the world. So ... hopefully over the next week I will have some stories to share on my blog about the bold steps i'm taking in sharing my faith.
Many blessings... keep smiling... and remember you are LOVED
