Put your words into action…

 My husband and I have been on this mission since coming back from our fantastic holiday, we have both decided that everyday we will have a “M.O” (Modus Operandi) for when we get home, each one has specific tasks to do and whatever we say we have to do, no matter how tired we are, the aim is to stay true to what we have said. Now some might think but that is quite silly or it’s mundane etc, BUT what we have experienced is that because we have started at home with this it filters through to our work lives as well, and every other area of our lives.   “ Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror   and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be ...

Disconnected by grace and for purpose...

We take the people in our lives for granted because we get so caught up with ourselves, pleasing ourselves and we totally forget about the people closest to you, we forget about the relationships that need nurturing for them to grow and prosper, cos just like a plant needs water to grow so does relationships need time and communication, understanding for it to grow too. God has once again blown me away, He has once again showed me that His ways are higher than my ways, His thoughts are not my thoughts and He knows what's best for me and my family, being disconnected without any outside i...
