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.

Doubt!

I WANTED TO POST THIS AS I CAME ACROSS THIS ON A OPEN FORM .THIS IS FROM The Little Princess - http://misselizabethmary.wordpress.com/

Each Christian is probably going to go through a time in their lives where things seem pretty tough. New christians this often occurs as the initial "high" (if I dare call it that) wears down and we come face-to-face with the "awsomeness of being human". Please let me reasure you that this is a perfectly normal experience.

1) PERSONALITY: Some people are prone to doubt.
"And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted." (Matthew 28:17)

2) THE PAST: People are complex beings who have leant and grown from every experience - sometimes these can have positive impacts upon us while sometimes their consequence can be negative.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

3) MEDICAL CAUSES: Often people experience chemical imbalances in thier brains (which can then in turn alter the way they think and affect thier relationship with God as there is a vital connection between the brain and soul).

"A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones." (Proverbs 17:22) 4) PHYSICAL CAUSES: A lack of sleep, lack of exercise or poor diet, etc. can all result in someone experiencing feelings of doubt and spiritual isolation.
"I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me." (Psalm 3:5)

5) STRESSFUL CAUSES: When we have too much going on and our mind is full of worry (exams? job? relationships? etc.)
Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light."(Matthew 11:28-30)

6) THEOLOGICAL CAUSES: Sometimes Christians, especially those who are new in the faith, have a poor understanding of who God is and as such we may assume things about Him that are not true.
"Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it." (1 Cor 3:1-2)

7) SINFUL CAUSES: Sometimes the reason that Christians may feel distant from God is due to a specific sin that they are living with. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:7–8).

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24).

Isn't it encouraging to think of JUST HOW MUCH God LOVES YOU -- he is a forgiving God who is patient with his children.
Thank you Little Princess this has really help me through this doubting period I seem to be going through today!
