2012

Unbelievable isnt it ?
2012 has started and 2011 finished...
as quick as 2011 came she went...
and I am geussing it will be a bit like that this year too.

does anyone out there want to join me in saying,...screaming...... slow down..... !!!!!!!!!!!


I dont think all the yelling and screaming on the entire planet will slow anything like "time" down...

so I think we need to make the most of the time that we have.

some say ..live for the moment, maybe it might be better to live for the Lord. Making the most of every opportunity given to us.

its a big year for us...Julie is about to leave for ICO,(3 months away) we are staff depleted at church and the pressure is on, really on... ( well I think it feels like its on, for me at least)  new challenges are coming my way every day at the moment, the latest a great privilege...serving on a THQ council/board for the next 12 months.... but I can honestly say, if we ( I ) am not smart this year,  I could get into trouble with the impending amount of workload on my plate, doing the work of 3 officers for 3 months in our church ....Julie gone. lost our Assistant, and one of our key admin workers out of the office for 20 weeks...

so I am now looking for how God will move in these situations.... who He will bring alongside to help.

I expect He will.  I have asked Him, He has never failed me before.  Not expecting him to fail this time either.

and then amongst it is the fresh challenges sitting fair and square on my plate... and I am excited about that.

Supernatural Sunday nights....I cant wait to see God do His thing, as we wait upon Him.
as we wait upon Him we will grow stronger.....He will be glorified amongst us.
and of course there is  the usual challenges of running a great growing church...

it will be busy and time will fly by very quickly.... I will have a month holiday in Europe.... and then the year will unfold its mystery's and blessings.

2012 looks like being my best year yet...   hope you will join me in it.

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

Salvo style.... God is here.

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
