Praying, Hoping, and believing

Today its the 31st of May.
I have yet to book my Airline ticket, yet to put in my application for Planetshakers but i know very well that everything will turn out. Might not be how i perfectly want it to but it will turn out how God wants it too.
It says in the bible, you dont need food, you dont need anything all you need is God because he will be your shield and guide you. If i dont have food, if i dont get a job it will be all for Gods will. And i know a lot of you will think that im crazy, but im not. Im just prepared for the worst because i know that things will be challenging for me. It says in the bible that no greater love than that of one who lay his life down for a friend.
Jesus layed his life down for me, so that i, me? could live in freedom and love.
I have experienced that joy, that love, that hope, that freedom and trust.
I know God is alive and he is in each one of us, working through each of us. And im not going to live another day without laying my life down for Jesus and following him and proclaiming righteousness, love, joy and hope to the lonely world. I was special enough and worthy enough for Jesus to die for my sins. I am taking up my cross and following God, and im willing to do whatever it takes to see someone smile.
I have been reading the bible a lot lately, and it says that dont worship other idols, and then it says dont make money your idol.
So, God said to me GO! And i said yes, then i said, i havent got enough money and he said i will make a way and provide like i did for Moses when i parted the red sea. I will be with u like i was with moses and i will glorify you because u have glorified me.
A lot of you know me, but you may not know my passion.
I am not boastful, proud, rude or arrogant, well i try my hardest not too be.
My God is BIG! He is here there everywhere. So why is it that we find it so hard to trust, have faith and believe in a God fully that created everything we see.
Because of technology, and distraction. I reckon if each one of us gave God the chance we would see miracles accomplished everywhere we look.
My main passion is LOVE! because it is forsaken, everywhere in society. In families, in relationships and in peoples hearts.
And i want to show people what love is, because God has given me this inner joy that is absolutly indescribable. He brings me peace when im anxious, fills my heart with sercurity and assures me that everything will be okay.
But everyone does not receive that same revelation of love that i receive from God.
Gods love is eternal and perfect and forgiving, and i want to show people Gods love.
Expecting nothing in return, at all. I want them to see who he really is, not who people perceive him to be.

And i will continue to talk more about it in my future blogs.

I have found accomodation over in Melbourne and it is finallised.
This lovely lady called Jan, has offered me a room for $150 a week including food.
She is christian and another girl boarding there is a kiwi :) and she is 25 and wants to go to Planetshakers church with me. Which im so very excited about. This place is located 15-20 mins away from Box Hill, which is where Planetshakers is. She said she can pick me up when i come home late at nite from the Train station, and also when its raining so she is very very lovely. She is also helping me find a job as well which im so excited about! :)
My date of departure is supposed to be the 5th of June but has changed to the 6th.
7:50 Departure on Sunday morning so will have to be there relatively early.
I am looking forward to sharing my faith and love with everyone on the plane.

God is so good and never forget that God can do anything so trust him with the impossible. Be strong brave and courageous and never give up. Because Gods purpose for your life is absolutely incredible. And you can do all things through Christ because he gives you strength.
You need three things for a miracle,- Pray, Believe and Hope.


-DARE YOU-
I dare you to encourage someone 3 times a day this week, whether it be your friends, family or strangers. See what sort of response you get and discover the joy you receive at the end of it.

Be blessed
LOVE YOU ALL
