This may not make any sense... my head has a lot of stuff rattling around up there... but I felt like I needed to share this!

Today I heard a wonderful quote from an incredible man of God...

"We need to live in the present - not the past. Because by living in this day that has never happened, gives us the opportunity to do things that have never been done."


I’m not sure why - but I got really fired up… The past is there to reflect upon and learn from… The future is there to dream about - but we are not living in it yet! We are given today!
AND we shouldn’t be wasting the days we do have! We are not called to just float by in life… we are here with a mission...

We are called… called to be a generation that rises up. A generation that isn’t afraid or ashamed of the gospel. A generation that is going to change the way the world sees the church of Jesus Christ. This generation is not one to be trifled with. We are an unstoppable force… a monsoon of love and justice with a passion to see the masses reeducated about who God is, what true love, mercy and forgiveness is…. and what it means to be a devout follower and disciple of Christ.

"I am God. I have called you to live right and well.
I have taken responsibility for you, kept you safe.
I have set you among my people to bind them to me,
and provided you as a lighthouse to the nations,
To make a start at bringing people into the open, into light:
opening blind eyes,
releasing prisoners from dungeons,
emptying the dark prisons. I am God. That's my name.
Isaiah 42:6-7 (NLT)

I look up to the mountains; does my help come from the mountains?
No, my strength comes form God,
who made Heaven & Earth & mountains.
He won’t let you stumble,
your guardian God won’t fall asleep.
Not on your life!
Israel’s guardian will never dose or sleep!
God’s your guardian, right at your side to protect you.
Shielding you from sunstroke, sheltering you from moonstroke.
God guards you from every evil, he guards your very life.
He guards you when you leave and when you return, he guards you now.
He guards you always!
Psalm 121

I had the lovely opportunity to travel up into the mountains with two of my friends a couple of weeks ago... It was absolutely wonderful to get out of the Hills District, out into nature, and to be able to see what true Australian beauty really is.
Here is a collection of photographs that I took... these don't even begin to capture the magnificent wonder of God's creation.
