There are times in our lives when we might each feel like we just don't fit in. At times I feel like this...(feeling a bit like that right now really) The picture above is a great illustration of what it means when you do push too hard to fit in...cracks appear, and it becomes uncomfortable for you, as well as the mold you are attempting to fit into. I am guessing we have all felt that from time to time.... It doesn't matter how hard you try, you can push and squeeze all you want, you just don't fit the mold. I have been thinking about this a lot today, and it has caused me to consider what does one do when you just don't fit, no matter how hard you try. I reckon it comes down to the why.... why are we trying to fit in, when we may have been called to stand out. Funny.... Nevertheless, it hurts like crazy at times to be the one left out, because you don't quite fit in.... but where would the world be if we were all the same, ...

The Saturdays roll around so fast these days... it is all a bit of a blur, the days blend into each other and in many ways it feels like time seems to be moving faster than it used to. (please remember these are my thoughts about life and my opinions only...they don't reflect upon who I work for etc... ) My big fears these days centre around lost opportunity and complacency.... watching what is happening around me, looking at people who seem to thrive and others who are distraught. Organizations that are crumbling and others doing incredibly well. It’s interesting to observe. For me ....

I got thinking what would it really mean to pray big ? Does it mean shouting your prayers ? Screaming out in faith from the rooftops of our homes ? Or standing on a mountain and shouting out the prayer and awaiting an echo to capture it ? For my mind, being audacious in prayer means praying a risky prayer....  praying for a person to be saved, praying for a situation to be resolved, praying for something that might look impossible to human eyes, understanding that God is not limited in His power and ability. Christian faith rises when the answers come, even in ways we don't expect them to be answered. Have you ever documented your answers ?...... I think its good to remind yourself of what God has done, so that you might have more faith to ask for even greater things, more audaciously. God has been so faithful to me over the years... ( this is the vulnerable bit.. for a few reasons, there will be some who will criticize and doubt these truths, but I guarantee you...t...
