'If life hands you MELONS, you may be dyslexic'

I've heard of dyslexia, but I honestly think there is the same sort of issue in some people with regards to numbers. I have it. I have aptly named it 'numberlexia' (see what I did there?). I get numbers all fuddled up and the wrong way around and back to front. It's quite amusing most of the time.

The problem, I believe, has escalated and it is probably due to the shear amount of numbers we have to try to remember these days. Never mind birthdays and anniversaries. There's the pin number to your bank card, credit card, and the other credit card that you shouldn't have. Then there's your log in's for facebook, myspace, twitter, blogger, wordpress. Then there's your phone number, mobile number, office number, boyfriend's number and best friend's number - if you forget that you're pretty much dead meat. Then there's your online banking log in and so on and so forth, you see where I'm going.
I also have a real problem with telling time apparently.


The real problem though, arrises when you can't remember your own jolly age!

The Gospel

I am not ashamed of the Gospel.
Some may not understand it, may not agree with it. It may seem too much to get their heads around - this I do understand. But I am captured by the Gospel and captured by what Jesus gave for me. Captured in heart and soul by a love so undeserving and so much bigger than anything I could ever understand.
I have often thought, Father why did you call me? Why did you save me? But I will always be grateful that he did.
It's not always easy. I have lost friendships, family and romance because they didn't understand nor did they try to. I can't be angry with them for this, but I can hope for their sakes that one day they too will have a revelation of the love of the Gospel.

I am a Christian. That means in essence that I am a follower and believer in Jesus Christ. I have had a revelation of the priceless, not-able-to-ever-repay gift of the cross.
I continue to learn about grace and unconditional love poured out daily by my Father, creator of Heaven and Earth, my Saviour, My Protector, My Friend.

I am a Christian and I am not ashamed of it.

to push on...

Jesus said, "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." - Matt.11v28 The Message

But what does this really mean when you're in the thick of the burden, in the depth of disappointment and hurt. It's just words really. Is He waiting for us to cry out to Him? Is He waiting for us to tell Him what's wrong? Well, yes to both of these, but when you yourself are not sure what's wrong to be able to put it into words, this is all rather difficult.

This is when it's good to just be still. Be still and wait. Be still and trust. Be still and hope. Be still and know that HE IS GOD! Faithful, reliable, trustworthy and just. He works ALL things for the good of those who love Him. ALL things.
