It's been over a year since I last wrote a blog! Don't let yourself start thinking I've given it up… quite the opposite. In fact I felt so inspired with my new found passion to write that I dropped the blog and started to write my first book. I finished it last month and then realised that the writing of the book was the easy part, having it edited and published is taking what seems like a much longer process. Which sounds to me like I have a valuable lesson in patience and trust.
So, what have I been up to over the past year, apart from writing a novel? Ha ha too much to comprehend putting in one blog and probably far too personal for the most part. I did stop going to church which wasn't the easiest decision to make. God wanted to teach me about family and in his beautiful way of leading my thoughts closer to his, he has shown me what he meant. I grew up with a devote christian Mum who took us to church every sunday and a Dad who played golf instead. I was doing the exact same thing in my own family life and it was horrible. I struggled with the thought of 'if I don't go to church God won't love me'… What he has shown me is if I can still have fellowship with likeminded believers I will keep growing in him. He has taken me to places I can't even explain, without you thinking I've gone a little nuts. At the end of it all I love my family, no pressure to be like everyone else. And thats where I was falling short. We aren't meant to keep up appearances because that's what is expected of us.
I have been live streaming an amazing church in LA when I can because it is important to receive teaching from those in learned places. So I'm not entirely churchless lol. My bible has become my best friend, I read it differently now. I had no idea how many numbers of importance are hidden in there. It's like a map of the road that leads straight to unlocking heaven on earth. And why did it take so long for me to realise heaven is as close as the air we breathe? Let me show you what I mean. After you've read this find a little quiet place and close your eyes. Talk to the holy spirit, he's there waiting to hear from you..always. Ask him to come to your garden and then let your sanctified imagination start working. You need to picture a garden. It may have a bench seat, a river/stream, trees, flower gardens, a swing perhaps? Last time I visited my garden Jesus met me there and he kept putting up easels in front of me asking me to paint what I could see. Time spent here is refreshing and it brings intimacy with God in your life. I like to share a swing with Jesus and talk to him about pretty much anything and everything. Go on, give it a try and if at first you can't see anything, try again and don't give up trying. I pray your eyes will be opened to the heaven that is so accessible to you and that your life will be changed because of it. Amen.
