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.

Hope does not disappoint by peterjfoster



New post on Christian Life Coaching Hope does not disappointby peterjfoster
Hope is an earnest expectation of what we desire.
It is, for many, the missing key!
HOPE an acronym:
Hears God’s Word that...
Opens our eyes to the...
Plans He has for us, to...
Energise our Faith.
Biblical hope stems from what God is telling us will come to pass.
So, how does hope work?
Hope paints a picture on our heart’s of what we are thinking and meditating upon. In other words, for what we are longing for. That’s where the power is - in the imagination of our heart! (Which is also where the power for evil, failure and death is!)
For as he thinks in his heart so is he” (Prov. 23:7)
The Bible is full of promises. If that were not the case then we would have no hope; or at least no positive hope.
We would, instead be meditating on failure, poverty and disaster, which is exactly what we would get. But Christ died that we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) So we choose life!
This is not just wishful thinking, like a mere complement. This is actively and purposefully seeing ourselves as God sees us, by reading what the Bible say’s about us. It is about taking the Word of God and actively meditating on it until we know and see in our heart what God promises. For example, you may like to meditate on the following scriptures:
“I am above only and not beneath...” “I am more than a conquerer...”
“I am blessed with very spiritual blessing in Heavenly places...”
So, Why is it so important to get all fired up about hope?
Because it is Biblical hope that stokes the fire’s of faith.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Heb. 11:1)
When we have our hope as an earnest expectation of grace’s future accomplishments, then faith comes into action and brings about the thing we hope for. Faith requires Hope! And hope does not disappoint!
