Mother Teresa

The other week i bought the movie Mother Teresa based on her life. It was on sale for $5 so i was pretty stoked not only did i find a bargain but one that could make a difference. Mother Teresa lived 87 years (August 26, 1910 – September 5, 1997) and was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She founded Missionaries of Charity and served Christ her entire life. She gave and gave. Here are some of her most famous quotes. She is truly an inspiration, i feel connected to her as what she achieved in India and worldwide i have been called to do in Africa. To start with Uganda and South Africa. The movie is very moving and opens your eyes to how she would have lived her life.

"People who love each other fully and truly are the happiest people in the world. They may have little, they may have nothing, but they are happy people. Everything depends on how we love one another."

“If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive."

"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin"

“Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."

If you judge people, you have no time to love them."

” I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love."

“When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed." –

In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love." in reference to this. if we continue to do small things with great love, it will eventually amount to something magnificent!

this quote is the essence of what my life will exist on. as a nurse and midwife i have been taught at uni to follow what she says but they dont mention Mother Teresa, i personally rather follow her then uni! here it is. ”Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don't only give your care, but give your heart as well."

"It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving."

Every thing she did was with Love. The world today needs love and compassion. Love is truly the answer to all the earths problems. Just think of a problem and how i t can be solved. love would be the most simple and logical answer. Imagine a world if love did not exist? Just smiling at something is an act of love. I have often heard that a man was walking down the street for the last time and he was going to commit suicide. He goes God i will continue to live if someone notices me. A lady walks by and smiles at him. As a result he does not commit suicide but becomes a Christian. I will try and find out where this is from.
Are you living you life full of love? i am overflowing with love that i need more people to give it too! Ask God what is your calling in life? what is it that your here on earth for at this time in eternity. Give your life to serve Christ and the rest is up to God! Do everything with Love.

Its time

This has been on my heart for while now since my eyes have been opened to what has been happening with todays Young Christians. There are two groups. One group are full on for God they know Jesus personally and know they have a purpose and are looking straight ahead to God. They are living for the cause of Christ. They have given their lives to God. The other group is the young people you believe that God exists and Jesus died for them. Yet they want to enjoy what the world offers them. They still exist in with the other young people who are messing around witht their souls. They indulge is pleasures that they shouldnt and behave and act how they shouldnt. This is happening all around us and gets me quite upset and angry. From what i have seen and heard this is happend everywhere and some of these young people are in leadership and are supposed to be the ones setting an example. People seriously need to open their eyes and get the revelation from God that i have. Time is running out and we need to stand up. Millons have yet to hear about Jesus and it is our responsibility to do this. We need to set thing straight with these young people and make them see the truth and how the devil and their own stupidity and mind has been holding them back from God's purpose for them. After that just let them decide their own fate.

As Christians we need to step up now and go out in our world and pray for God to tell us where and who to go to. Young people need to stop playing around with life and their eternal fate.
Yes you can have fun with life and enjoy yourselves but do it for God and follow Christ and we can see many lives changed and see more souls for heaven. Now is the time. stop procrasinating. Life is too short to muck around we need to stand up if no one else will and lead by example. We need to practice what we preach. If you know someone like what i have mentioned. spend a bit of time with them to reveal the real Jesus to them. If after that let them live their lives, It will get them eventually.
Let us go out into the world and do what God called us to do and be the people God has called us to be.

Today's Generation

Today's generation has grown up in a world full of evil and deceit and just assume that this is the norm behaviour that everyone should abide by. When someone different to them comes along say a Christian they get defensive about their lifestyle and call us the weirdos and that we are not enjoying our lives or living life to the full. Where do they get that idea from? from their parents. Today's youth have grown up in households with parents who grew up with the same morals and beliefs. For the cycle to stop young people today need to stand up and say no to the things that are destroying so many lives around them. This is starting to happen with the likes of teen celebrities wearing purity rings. and many of their fans wanted to follow them. This will be proved in a matter of a few years if we start to see cleaner and more wholesome music videos. The world is starting to realise that it has been destroying itself but it will only get worse before it becomes better. As Christians we need to set an example and be testament that we can live our life to the full and most likely to be happier and have more freedom than non-christians. and when they ask why are we so happy even when bad stuff happens, why do we enjoy life even though we dont drink and sleep around and party all hours of the night. We can simply say we have Jesus. Then the following will come more questions to folllow or they will walk away even if they walk away, they still heard you and it will be in the back of their minds.
My parents believe i havent experienced my youth and adolescence they think ill regret not drinking and partying. I constantly tell them that what is the fun in losing al your inhibitions and not remembering the night before and feeling all sick and gross the next day. Ive been through my party stage when i was 13-15. Then God found me and my life hasnt been the same. Sure you face trials and hard times, especially in the beginning when the devil still has a hold on you. When you break free from the devil and show him that you belong to God and God only. The devil will run away from you and not touch you, the more on fire for God you get the more the devil gets scared. Sure the devil will put temptation and your weaknesses or reminders of your past in front of you. Just ignore it and keep going for God. Dont sway or blink in the devil's direction and you wil feel so much more free. Todays generation is captivated by the devil they indulge in his world in things to get pleasure for a little bit. Children younger and younger are getting caught up in drinking,smoking,sleeping around,trying drugs,swearing,wearing sexy skimpy clothing. In department stores there are bras for 5 and 6 yr olds! what the heck is happening in the world. Sure training bras are fine for 8+ but not 5! it is ridiculous the clothes that are avaliable to 11 yr olds. Mentally we are not fully developed until at least 21. Boys are a little bit later! Bothe mentally and physically inside and out we do not full develop our complete adult bodies until 21-25. Sometimes 18, depends on the individual. Promoting that it is okay for 15yr olds to be having sex and experimenting with different things is just totally absurd. Even 13 yr olds are starting to believe that this is okay. Just because they feel that there bodies are mature, they do not have the mentality to cope and act like an adult. We all know that young teenagers try and act and behave older than they are. Some may be but in the end they are still children. And seeing movies and music videos even the radio that are easily accessible to them is just plain wrong. We need to step up and take a stand in order to protect the children of the world. We need to be apart of childrens lives and steer them in the right direction, when they see us avoiding certain things and not wanting to take part in it all, if we have influence they will follow. It is up to us to change the next generation to try and make this world a better place, to make the devil squirm because he is losing control. Every day is an oppurtunity.

Love this song

here a few of my favourite worship songs. I love Healer, Sing to the Lord. The anthem and where we belong and a few others but there are a few that when i sing them my heart just jumps and i can tend to cry!absolutely love this worship song and would love to know who actually wrote the music and lyrics.

What an awesome God we worship
What a mighty God we serve
Every knee will bow before him
Every tongue confess that he is Lord

Also love

Lift up your eyes all of heavens in worship
Angels rejoice and the clouds will be filled
with the wonder of your name
with the wonder of your name
The train of his robe fills the temple with glory
heavenly hosts fall before him in worship
crying holy holy holy is the lord God almighty

The enemy has been defeated And death couldn't hold You down We're gonna lift our voice in victory We're gonna make Your praises loud
Shout unto God with a voice of triumph
Shout unto God with a voice of praise
Shout unto God with a voice of triumph We lift Your name up We lift Your name up

This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe Your holy presence living in me
This is my daily bread This is my daily bread Your very word spoken to me
And I, I'm desperate for you And I, I'm I'm lost without you

I am falling to my knees I need You Lord to breathe in me My prayer is still the same My heart is calling out Your name Sweet anointing fill this place I am found in Your embrace Rain down on meRain down on me Here in Your presence I am free Pour down like rain Come and touch me again Lord let Your presence fall on me

Why is murder being legalised?

Psalm 141:8-10 But my eyes are fixed on you o soveriegn lord in you i take refuge- do not give me over to death. Keep me from the snares they have laid for me from the traps set by evildoers. Let the wicked fall into their own nets. while i pass by in safety.

this has me extremely upset and angry. we need to take a stand against this.

This tiny hand of a fetus reaches out from a mother's womb to clasp a surgeon's healing finger. It shows a 21-week-old fetus in its mother's womb, about to undergo a spine operation designed to save it from serious brain damage.

Babies can be born at 22 weeks and survive! this is proven. Here are 3 images of a 12 week old fetus. A fully formed and functional baby at 12 weeks. The other 6 months are spent getting bigger and stronger!

The right to life website reports.

'The Abortion Law Reform Bill 2008 is a radical attempt to legalise abortion in Victoria throughout the entire 9 months of pregnancy, without any real limitation. The Bill was introduced, ironically, by Minister for Early Childhood Development Maxine Morand MP.Section 4 of the Bill mandates abortion on demand up to 24 weeks of pregnancy. We know that babies are now capable of being born alive at 22 weeks. This section therefore declares all abortions, for any reason, can be carried out on babies capable of being alive. No restrictions...'For step by step instructions and ideas on how to write to your local politician regarding this proposal, visit http://www.makeastand.org.au/

Her is a 6-7 weeks old fetus. When most women find out that they are pregnant!

Psalm 22:9-11 Yet you bought me out of the womb, you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast. From birth i was cast upon you from my mother's womb you have been my God. Do not be far from me. For trouble is near and there is no one to help.

Psalm 139.13-14 For you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because i am fearfully and wonderfull made. I know that full well.

God's timing

we all God has perfect timing but im not a patient person and having God tell me to be patient is difficult and i just have to trust. It is incredible difficult to live fully when you are longing for something and your heart aches, its a feeling i cant describe. All i can resemble it too is having a family away and longing to hold and see them. That is how i feel constantly. I love God with all my heart and soul and knowing that this feeling is here to stay is very difficult but i know God is the God of the impossible!
It is incredibly upsetting to see people without God and to think i used to be one of them. All i can do is be A Christian " Little Christ" in their life and pray they will meet Jesus Christ and encounter God. Just needed to vent!

my mind today

so just want to share something that caught my eye. At the young adult house party last night, chatting with a lovely young lady and she said something that really stuck as a quote with us for the rest of the night. " we are not either, or people. We are both" meaning we do not have to choose we can have both. Granted this depends on the context but the one we used it in was really good! With God we do not have to choose certain things we can have both as we are Christians! I had yet another God talk with mum the other day. She said well im a good person so you dont think i will go to heaven. I said no unless you accept Jesus Christ as Saviour. So she fires back going so the rapists and murderers will. I said if they have now accepted Jesus Christ as saviour then yes. She found this difficult to comprehend. Quite simple really! this is a key factor people find it difficult to understand.
I still cant believe it is September! my 18th is around the corner and then my last year of uni is over and then Christmas and New year! seriously where has 2008 gone? im pretty sure 2009 is going to be one of the best years ever! something that i have been seeing which is really pleasing is that alot of people are coming out from their cliques and little groups and mixing it up a bit! this is definitely needed! Everyday we can make a difference. and if we live in a caccoon how do we do that! i am excited for the future as i know what it holds and what i dont know really gets me excited! For If God has revealed to me parts of my future that are amazing, then what can the parts be that he hasnt! Tomorrow challenge yourself to make a difference, light up someone's day. We do not get to take words or time back. Use them wisely! and in the name of Jesus Christ!
