About Me

My photo
Well, where do I start? I could start at many stages in my life; all very exciting and adventurous in some sort of way. Probably best to start when I met my husband 10 years ago, as this was the turning point in my very emotional and dramatic life. Met Ben through work, we had a wonderful life together, very ambitious, career driven until we decided to started a family 4 years later. The fertility Journey did take 2 years to conceive but we got there eventually and conceived little Thomas, now for someone like me who has no patience what so ever this was a agonizing and stressful wait but well worth it. We moved from our home town Bournemouth to Ipswich with Ben's work, I gave up my careern and then married in Cumbria in 2009. We continued to have 2 more children very easily compared to Thomas, Jesiica and Baby Wilson.
One of the main reasons I have set up this blog is to gather advice and information on how I can be guided through my Journey into Christianity. "We need others around us who know Jesus. Who want God to influence their lives", "The Spiritual Starter Kit" Lesson # 5 - The value of other believers.
I am not perfect nor do I want to be, I am not here to change the world, or the way people think. I am just here to be happy and put the past behind me, wash away all the pain and view the world differently to the way I see it today. I want to be happy in no matter what I do, feel completeness and at peace with the world and admire all the beautiful things it has to offer me, my family and all my beautiful friends. I know this can happen it is just a matter of believing!


Please, I urge you to join my site and welcome any thoughts you may have or advice that will help me on my way! This site would not work without your input. Please note I am dyslexic, so, if anyone wishes to volunteer to edit my posts, by all means feel free.

Day - 2 - Want

Revised Standard Version (RSV) New International Version (NIV)
Mark 10:51 'What do you want me to do for you'? Jesus asked him.

David discusses the above statement: In a surveyed  done among parents regarding the first words that they children said it was, "I want". "I want Mummy".
As humans in this very selfish and competitive world we know from a very early age what we want and from an early age.
"wanting" is very different from "seeking"
Wanting is unfocused and vague.
Seeking is a priority, defined and clear.
Once I identify Mummy I can then want and need her. When I discover chocolate I can then want chocolate.

"While 'seeking' is the first step in the amazing journey into Christianity, "Wanting then follows.

To be contiued.........................

As stated in David's book
Reflection
Nobody fills a cup unless they know it's empty. Recognizing our emptiness is an essential first step to being filled.

A Prayer
Lord Jesus, like Bartimaeus I want to see. Open my inward eyes so that i can recognize both what i need and what you are willing to give me. Amen..

Discussion
The credit card slogan offered to 'take the waiting out of wanting'. Are there similar simplistic slogans in the spiritual realm?

Thought of the day

God moves and works in mysterious ways!
