'In the beginning the Word already existed. 
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.'
'He existed in the beginning with God. 
God created everything through him, 
and nothing was created except through him. 
The Word gave life to everything that was created, 
and his life brought light to everyone. 
The light shines in the darkness, 
and the darkness can never extinguish it.'

John 1:1-5 NLT

Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wow, another week has started and I am delighted you can drop by. 

Welcome to my vault, hope you had a good weekend? For me?…

The Olympics are over and back to the Premier league. I Hope that this season United are at the top. 

It was great to watch and listen. 

And I got to learn a few things while watching it and listening to it. As I was at work, it was just background noise. 

Listening - it might have been background noise but I still could gather a few comments here and there. 
Leading me to believe that what we listen to matters a lot 
A background noise is not just that 
It is like letting the sun in through the window but not going out 
You still get the sun.

It is such a great encourager for the next generation 
They see and believe that they can 
Therefore we have a great responsibility 
To follow God’s example in everything we do because 
We are all his children.

Courage - it takes great courage to face your opponent and the public 
In this world we will face all trails 
The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy BUT
Knowing that you are not fighting against flesh and blood should take the weight off
Giving us the courage to fight

Teamwork - we are never alone
Having and knowing that we fight a winning battle changes the dynamic of the game
Even working as a team we fight to win 
I don’t know about you 
BUT I want to receive the prize of well done my good and faithful servant 

The most lesson for me was that God loves us 
That everything we do He is interested in it 
He smiles when we do 
He cries when we cry 
He laughs when we do 

Separating Him from my life brings trouble 
When I take the Lord with me 
Cleaning up happens on the go 
I mean Grace is New every day 
So no piling up of the plates
They are washed clean daily 

The spell was broken 
The will of God becomes natural 
Praying without ceasing 
Giving thanks in everything 

With the end of the games 
All have gone Home separately unless you are a couple BUT 
God is the company that does not have to leave 
Lord, You are the foundation 
That is stronger than anything. 

So at Church the sermon was exactly what I needed to hear: Sharing in the community

Sharing through Prayer 
Sharing through care 
Sharing and not comparing
Sharing and not preparing

Brilliantly done by this lovely lady (Claire) wow did she punch the heavy bag out of the way:

Sharing not preparing is my thing that I was convicted off 
The Lord prepares the table 
The Lord invites us to the table
The Lord chooses everyone 

And He wants us to be ourselves 
Where ever we are 
He brings the right people 
And all I need to do is be myself 

It is great to get up daily, above all it is great to get in the uncomfortable zone. Physically and emotionally. I never thought I would walk daily but I do against all odds. I never thought I would love people but yet I do (still work in progress). I still have things that I need to do that are uncomfortable. But that is life getting uncomfortable makes the heart beat faster and keeps me alive.

Thank you again for stopping by it means a lot to me. 

Pray you have a wonderful week 🙂
We cannot control what happens around us, 
but we can control our responses.
Be bless and know that the Lord loves you

And I also pray that this verse refreshes you this week: 
'However, 
I consider my life worth nothing to me; 
my only aim is to finish the race and 
complete the task the Lord Jesus has given 
me—the task of testifying to the 
good news of God’s grace. '
Acts 20:24 NIV
