The Big Cleanup has begun

After the Last post about my cleanup a friend pointed me to this site. FlyLady click here. I checked it out and found this Video clip that blessed me so much. It made me cry



God was Prompting me and changing my heart for several months. before i started cleaning. I must mention i am a bachelor myself, i live alone. I made a start, i just invited a friend over (something i don't do cause of the mess and embarrassment), this prompted me to start cleaning. What a nice change. i had a reason t...o clean. then my friend offered to help me do some more cleaning so i accepted and we set a date on the following Saturday. and we started cleaning. I am slowly making progress. I was so blessed by this ministry that i even went on the site and brought some rubber scrubber and other rubber brushes and a few other products. I may have been able to get them Here cheaper over the other side of the world. but i wanted to bless and support the flylady and all you do. i also got the 2 Cd downloads the fly Cd and the other children's one. and i love it.


I am needing to do more cleaning now as i took one day off without meaning to. and started to revert. but then i remembered the sink.

Clean up

The big cleanup has begun. I finally have become so sick of being lazy and living in a tip. it is important to live in a tidy place. i have been getting down and not really encouraged to  seek the Lord in a messy place. just when i was getting into this thinking and God was prompting me to start. I met a New friend who has been encouraging me to clean up. Thank you God for supplying my needs.

Gods Blessing.

Sometimes we don't always see what God is doing until it happens. When things are happening we can so easily miss what He is doing until its finished. I am shocked at how i respond to things that go on. Lately I have found  that I am growing in the strength of the Lord more and more every day, as i read the bible, pray and seek the Lord more he shows me great and mighty things.  I find His wisdom becomes part of me and the more I rely on God for my help He is the one who is there for me. To live a life believing in God is a great thing. Without God i can do nothing.   The bible says in proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I do find this to be true for me. the more I put my trust in the Lord  the more he helps me in life.

CFFD Masquarde Ball

Nathan and Me at the ball.

On the 18th September 2010 the CFFD Auckland held another successful event. the Masquerade ball. This was an event like no other rarely seen before here in Auckland.
This time as I was not on the Committee organising the event it felt Good to just be there to help out as part of the new Friends Of CFFD Auckland ministry. I helped beforehand on the 2 days the props where created and also with setup on the day. I found it good as i was not so stressed and was able to get on with doing on task at a time.

I had invited my friend Nathan the young man with Downs syndrome whom I work for. he is 12 years old. We organised to make our own masks which we did together. Nathan ended up winning the prize for the best mask, which was a basket of chocolates. God on Nathan. Hope he comes to our next event.

Wow

Sometimes the way God does things in my life. He brings people along, shows me stuff when i read the bible and provides for all my needs. I am thankful for what i have, what i can do and what i am learning to get hold of.

I just want to thank all the people in my life now. the friends, workmates, advocates, church people and my family members. also the people I meet out and about around the place.

Now even though things may seem tough here in New Zealand and  the  current government may look like they are not doing much to help the people out. Remember we are still blessed so much and have more than 10000's of people in life who don't have Jobs, Food to eat, and a place to stay in. New Zealand is so blessed as a nation.

My heart Goes out to all those in Christchurch who are in a crises. I pray that God will look down and seek favor on them all. Lord keep them safe from the earthquake, thank you that no one was badly hurt. Amen

Article about Me & Nathan

As some of you know i am currently working for a 12 year old young man Nathan who has Downs syndrome. Recently My support worker from CCS Disability Action asked me if i could Wright an article about Nathan and I for their next magazine so here it is the September 2010 issue from Link to September magazine click that
We got the lead article. How amazing it was to be able to Wright the Good things that have happened to me and the help i have received from CCS.magazine

Life Is Interesting.

I have found life to be interesting. sometimes you never know what will happen. even when things Go wrong and we stuff up. in the end if we truly believe in Jesus and follow through he will be there for us. On Sunday i felt so far away from God then Amazing he spoke to my heart,and things seemed to change.Now all i have to do is put it into action. It seems hard at times and we get lazy and our natural human tendencies will resist what God is saying to us. If we listen to our heart and not God we will move away from him and not receive all He has for us. God wants us to listen to him, spend time with him and get things done.

I know that in my life, I have been away from God at times. looking back they where dark times. even though i still went to church, I was not reading my bible and living a double life. I was really messed up. i wondered Y god did not do things, I always wondered why everyone i know was receiving Gods will. I believe in Jesus y is he not here for me. The truth is that he always was there with outstretched hand waiting for me to turn around and grab hold of it.

I have met some people who give there life to Jesus and they never seem to change. there life was the same as it always had been. they do know about Him but as they did not follow His ways God never could be active in there lives, even though he wanted to. They only went to god if things where not going good and even then they would not understand why things they would ask Him for would never happen. maybe a loved one died even though they asked God to not let it happen. They become bitter inside and blame God or think God is rubbish, He never there for me.

I feel sorry for those people wandering around with a bitter heart and the weight of the world on the shoulders. IF only they Could see they need to truly put there trust in Jesus and give them all those problems and pain. Then they would be freed by His saving grace. Jesus came to the earth to show us the way. if we truly believe in that then ho will be there for us.
