Home Sick

Right now, I'm wishing that I could be in Australia.
Why???
Sunshine, Warmth, Family, Beach, Milo, Cherry Ripes, My Mum, my friends, shal I go on?

I know that I should be thinking and enjoying where God has me now....but I just want the things that are familiar and safe to me. I still drive around here and have to pinch myself "do I really live here?" As much as things are normal here I don't always feel at home, It feels surreal and unbelievable. I know that God is growing me in this experience...making me a better women. I suppose that He can't make it easy can HE?

I'm being challenged to step out of my comfort zone. By running P.A.T.CH. (toddlers), this is something that I never saw myself doing. I've been asked to get up front at church to do an appeal for more help at PATCH. And then today I was asked to be interviewed for Mother's day on Sunday... Public Speaking has got to be one of my biggest fears.. it sends my heart racing, palm sweating and I forget what it is that I'm going to say...
I feel that I just can't say no. I feel God prompting me to step out and let Him do that rest. I feel unfaithful because I'm even questioning that He will catch me.

LORD give me courage and faithfulness to do your work, to be a instrument for your work. Amen

Little By little may I grow closer to you each day.

I'll let you know how it all goes!!

Best Intentions

Why is it that each day I wake each morning with the best intention, then I get out of bed and it all goes down the toilet. My girls just know how to push my button some days. Tomorrow I'll try again....Please help me LORD... to be a better mother.....a better wife..... and servant to my Heavenly Father..
