Day 3 :- Preperation for Melbourne

Today i have spent a lot of time reading my bible and reading a book called the Love Revolution, which is written by Joyce Meyer.
This is something that i stumbled across, Jesus said we would be known by our fruit. Which means that people can tell who we really are on the inside by what we produce with our lives and by our attitude.

I have spent a lot of time in worship and trusting God with my life, and that he will do something good out of what im doing.
Its not easy i need to constantly remind myself that i am not my own, that i am Gods and i need to be a blessing and light to others even when it is inconvinient for me. And i have found it hard being at home and spending time with God, organising things for Melbourne and ultimately believing in myself and i mean i just need to be ready and prepared.
God has me in his arms and knows the future he has for me, i need to know that and take a step back and stop trying to control things that are beyond my control and just know that things will turn out right.

It is about 3 days left until i leave,
so far God is looking after me and i trust that he will continually look after me and protect me. I need to pray continually in successes and when im struggling because i am finding that im not praying as much as i should be, so i need to spend atlest 2 hours tonite praying.

I have prayed so much about finance, accomodation, a job and trusted God with my life. And he has come through, but i have come to realise that the reason that God wants me to go to Melbourne is to love and to impact peoples lives. Its not all about me, and if im spending all this time praying for 'ME' "MYSELF' and 'I'. Then technically im being selfish and not using my time wisely.
I do need to pray for myself and its amazing about the breakthrough that God has given me, and im not saying that im not thankful for it because i am very very thankful, but i have come to realise that i need to spend more of my time in the lives of other people, and if not being around the people i want to be around i need to pray for them and be believing for miracles in the lives of other people so that God can work. God doesnt work by himself, he works through his followers. And for him to be using me i need to be more active and be loving more. I'm not saying that i am a bad daughter, a bad sister, a bad friend because i know that i am a good daughter, good sister and a good friend. But, somehow i want to impact more. And i cant do that myself because its God that works through me. So technically i need to pray, pray, pray so that God can open up opportunites for me so that he can work.

Today, i received another email from this man at an Italian Cafe over in Melbourne and told him that i am available to work and that im moving over on Sunday and he said. 'Okay, come in on Monday at 10am and we will discuss an employment opportunity for you.' So now i have managed to get myself 2 interviews in the matter of one day

The lady i am going to be staying with said she can get me some work on a farm for the first few weeks, where i get $17 an hour, which would be good for the first couple of weeks just to have a bit of an income.
And she said that i can also do some pony parties if this lady likes me! How exciting ay?

Today i have been talking to my friend, and realised something.
I need to make sure i humble myself everyday before God, ask for his peace and love because i am a gift to the world. You and i both are a gift to the world and we have the opportunity to unwrap that gift and use it or keep it wrapped. If you unwrap it you begin to release the love of God, Because ultimately Love is God.
Okay, so God is Love and Love is God. What does that mean?
Jesus wants us to be his hands and feat right? You ask, how do i do that?
'Love' that means encourage, inspire, guide, protect, defend, not judge or be hard on, to care for and believe in.
It means to look upon people in the way Jesus would, look at what is good about that person and their potential because we are all brothers and sisters in Christ and ultimately we will all see eachother in eternity.
So i dont know about you, but im not wasteing my time looking down on people unless im going to help them up.

I am excited, inspired by God and am passionate about what he is speaking to me.

Thanks for reading
Love Maree :)
