Holidays.

I love holidays.

I hate holidays.

I feel all sorts of things about breaking from my calling and ministry. I feel ripped off, but then I get rested.
I feel like I lose momentum, but then God works in my mind and I get motivation.
I feel like I lose routines, but then that's exactly what I need to lose ruts.

Well I now need to go back to work and there is very much to do this week.

We have Watoto Uganda children's choir in on Saturday.
A church business and vision meeting on Sunday
A ministers network meeting on Tuesday.
In Adelaide coaching on Thursday.
Leaders meeting Wednesday
Connect groups Tuesday
Set up on Friday for Watoto

Ahhh ministry.... Don't you just love it ? Well actually. I do.

So this week looks busy and it is busy.

But as I was reminded today..I have only one life to live on this earth, this is not pre game warm up for the real other life on the planet. This is the game, this is the grand final, this is the life I was called and chosen and created to,live, I am not practicing for some other role or ministry, this is the one.

God called me, I have believed that for a very long time.

The battle for my life is fierce and I often fail, but I always get back up again and start over because this is my life, I am not living someone else's, this is my life to live, and I chose a long time ago, to live it for King Jesus.

Yep holidays are over....pretty much, today is my official last day.

Am I ready to get back to work ? You betcha. I love my work. I love my God.

I am just gonna keep going until he says enough is enough, come home.


Until then, I am going to live this life that He has placed before me, and try and make a difference for Him, in other peoples lives too.

What got us here, will not get us there.

I have been thinking about the this for sometime now. We as TSA have come along way, but yet...there is a long way yet to go, and everything we have done up until now, has given us the results we now have. It's insanity to think, that if we keep doing the things we have already done, that we will get a different result. All that we have done so far, in previous weeks, months and years and even decades have given us the results we are seeing right now. If we think for one moment that things are going to change, by doing the things the same way as we have already done them, then there may be a need for seeing a therapist. do things the same way, get the same result. change the way you do things, get a different result. the problem with this, is ..... that many think everything is honky dory....all "A OK".... and that's where the real bottle neck actually is. Because the truth is, (and many don't want to acknowledge the truth), that we are not winnin

For me these days, life is super busy. I used to think I was busy before, but now...my goodness. Now, so that it's clear, I am happy being busy with the Kingdom stuff, and would never cope if I was blatantly bored in ministry, I am simply not wired in such a way. Life is good. My ministry is good. My God is good. For those of my readers who think, that maybe, I think I have arrived..... wash your mouths out...there is no way I think that, last week my head was in such a spin, I literally had to walk out the office and go home. I went for a walk to clear my head and got drenched when it started raining, and it was really good for me... I gained perspective and focus and the next day in the office was a little more sober. It's a busy place and much is going on.... it does pose questions for me, which over time I will seek clarity from the senior leaders here....and I guess where needed, I will tweak where and when I can. in the meantime, I am just doing what I feel

A few things happening lately.

I don't think I have ever had such a difficult time.... I am well aware of issues where I have been disrespected and disregarded and my ministry count for absolutely nothing... 16 years means nothing to some.... Neither does 11 years of planting, oh well...that's leadership. It's lonely, it's hard, and at times extremely hurtful. But I still choose to stay the course, I still choose to go hard, coz I am not going home. Really when it comes down to it, when a person disrespects you, it is highly possible it is their issue not my own. I do believe though you have to earn respect and loyalty and so if I don't have it from all in my circle then maybe I haven't earned it ? Or... Sigh! oh we'll I am sure you get it. It's sometimes very lonely and as I said previously, hurtful. Look at Jesus, he was more than hurt, more than abandoned and more than disrespected. He was killed. Ridiculed. Spat on. Ignored. He was abused. He was left alone. Betra
