You are unique! One of a kind! There is no one else exactly like you! No matter what size ….. shape ….. colour ….. You are special ….. chosen ….. and loved! You may feel insignificant ….. but your Heavenly Father knows you ….. sees you ….. and loves you. He has a unique plan for your life ….. and that’s exciting!

God Is Faithful!

Sue’s Views

I want to end this week by reminding you that God is faithful! No matter what challenges you’re facing ….. despite the circumstances yelling out He’s forgotten you ….. whether or not you are seeing any changes ….. HE IS FAITHFUL!!! The sun will set tonight and rise again tomorrow. And you will have lived another day!

Opportunity In Disguise!

Sue’s Views

Opportunity often comes in disguise. It may take the form of a closed door ….. a disappointment ….. a negative report. These situations can either cause us to give up ….. or to dig deeper in order to find another way. The big picture usually becomes clearer only on reflection. We discover that the ‘plan B’ ….. though inconvenient at the time ….. was actually much better.

The Secret Place

Walking with God means ….. going into the ‘Secret Place’. Are you feeling tired, anxious or frustrated? Sometimes we just need ‘time out’. God is inviting you to come and spend some time with Him in the ‘Secret Place. It’s a place of peace, refuge and beauty where you’ll find strength, truth and perspective ….. and the best part is you can go there anytime without leaving home! In the midst of crying or sick children, piled up housework, unpaid bills or domestic disputes ….. the Secret Place is only a prayer away! May you be refreshed today!

The Good Old Days Are Now!

Sue’s Views

Are you dreaming about what life will be like some day ….. when the mortgage is paid off ….. the kids have left home ….. you can relax more? That’s all great ….. but where you are right now could be the most fruitful time of your life! Be present in the moment and you’ll see how amazing it is. Don’t wish it away! The green pastures will come all too soon ….. and you’ll be looking back fondly to ‘the good old days’!

Half Time

Sue’s Views
We are officially half way through the year. Half time is always a time of reflection. What did we do well in the first half? What can we do better in the second? What changes do we need to make? No matter how bad the first half was ….. there is always hope that things can change in the second half. Don’t carry into tomorrow things like guilt ….. shame ….. regrets ….. resentment ….. or unforgiveness. They will only weigh you down! Leave them on the sidelines. Then you can be confident that you are on the winning team!

Beyond the Clouds

Sue’s Views
On a dull wet day like today remember the sun is shining brightly beyond the clouds! The clouds are temporary and constantly shifting. And when they are gone we have a fresh appreciation of the sun.

Your Mess Becomes your Message!

Sue’s Views
Is your path littered with painful memories ….. or reminders of your mistakes? Well ….. welcome to the human race! I’m so glad God doesn’t wait until we’re perfect to use us! It’s our mistakes and failures that make us able to relate to others. It’s our ‘mess’ ….. that becomes our ‘message’! Someone needs your story!

Peace

Sue’s Views
Peace is not necessarily the absence of noise ….. or trouble. It’s a quiet knowing that ….. even in the midst of these ….. you are ok. Have you lost your peace? Fear and anxiety ….. anger ….. guilt ….. are peace robbers. By confessing these things to God and receiving His forgiveness ….. your peace will return to you.

Dad Will Catch You If You Fall!

Sue’s Views 
Do you sometimes fear stepping out in case you get it wrong? God is like a Dad watching his child walk for the first time. He lets go of his hand ….. but He’s right there to catch him if he falls. When he inevitably enters a ‘no go zone’ ….. Dad turns him around to point him in the right direction. God will do the same for you! You can trust Him to guide you and to catch you if you fall!
