Hmmmmm

Found this on 'quiet girl' s blog this morning. I have mixed feelings... I really love it... but feel like I probably shouldn't :P


Thoughts???

Weigh-In #2

This morning was that day of the week again. I didn't feel like I lost much weight last week, yet the scales told a different story.
2KGS!!!!!!
In two weeks I've lost 4 kgs! I can scarce believe it. It has been and is really tough, but wow.
Anyway - I just wanted to keep accountable to you - let you know I'm still losing weight.  

Animal Love

Today's gift God had for me came in the form of his creatures. Tarquin has been his usual, loving self. 
This morning he followed me out my front door and sat sunning himself. 

And what should I meet? A very friendly, although wild, King Parrot. This parrot and I whistled to each other and he kept flying for perch to perch. He got to within a metre of me at one stage. 

But then Zazu (the neighbour's Siamese kitten) came on the scene and decided to chase the King Parrot around. (Although here she is begging for pats).

The King Parrot didn't seem to mind playing cat and mouse and Tarquin watched these proceedings intently from his place outside the front door. 

I love animals. I love Tarquin so much... he's so expressive. In fact he is contentedly sitting on my lap, with the V8 purring machine going.

God Talks

It's funny how God decides to use us a lot when we feel at our worst.


Yesterday, I felt worse than I had in a long time. I wasn't a 100% sure why. But in my afternoon of activities I found myself walking beside a family that was going through a crisis, helping them carry their pain. 


This morning, I was up early to be at the 7am walking group with my gym in Wahroonga. As it happened, I was the only person that came for the walk this morning with the personal trainer. We had a great hour of sharing. I was privileged to have her ask me some questions that had bothered her about 'ethics' classes in schools, and deeper, why God would allow suffering of 'innocent' people.


In the midst of caring for the needs of these people, God gave me strength to continue on in a difficult situation and clarity of mind as I spoke to the trainer. One of the things I spoke of to the trainer was miracles in the world today - showing us the great compassion of God. These two days I have seen God give to me more than I had in myself to give. There is no way that I could have given to these people what I did without his divine assistance.


God still talks and 'does' today.


We just need to be watching for it.
