However, my ducks survived somehow so I just revised the text a little (but I am still reflecting...!)

Just when you think you've handled one annoyance, another slips in there!! Presumably some of the deleted stuff includes your previous webpage entry???? Just keep focussed on the good stuff - and Him of course! See you later. P x It’s soooooo irritating the way some things just seem to happen all at the same time isn’t it.

Is my one line answer - but how did I get there? well, ... I was a daughter, a princess, longing to please her father, trying to live a life of perfectionism, while longing for a well done for just who I was. A sister trying to be the normal sibling, while longing for the comforting arms of a big strong brother. I became a wife, desiring to be the grown up pleasing her husband, a carer of a poorly man, while crying out for him to take control. I became a mother, and at last found identity and confidence in who I was - hiding behind the pram handle, never so confident, and never so shielded!. It has taken me some 40 years to find my identity, and at last I am a child again, a child of God. My life has been shaped, as has everyones, by what it has been, but this has all been in the huge hands of my Father, with the capital F. So, at last, not that this is the end of the journey, but I desire to live a new life of fullness, in what God has planned for me, shaped me for, and with Him as the big arms around me, the confidence I have longed for. I don't need to do it, or control it myself. He already has, and will continue to do. So in my, not so wild maybe, but precious life, I want to remember who is in control, and how much better it is for that, than in my own efforts. As for my favourite question? Well I don't know about deep questions but one I more frequently find myself asking others is? How can I help you? Actually its harder to answer than you think.

Matt 10 My question to you: "what has God birthed in you that you cannnot ignore in order to be true to who you are & who God's called/made you to be?" i want to grow increasingly in greater intimacy with Jesus, live fully surrendered to Him, to grow in faith, embrace the totality of God’s freedom, love in action & truth, share more stories & build relationships, laugh more, take more adventures, see more of the world, experience other cultures, dream big and see them fulfilled, embrace & use the giftings which God has given me…

i want to be a part of planting more churches & to plant overseas would be amazing, get to africa & india & be involved in mission overseas long-term, be married, adopt/foster children, write a book or two…

whilst also i don’t want to put God in a box - i know He’s got more ahead than i could ever dream of - i want surprises, i want twists & turns, i want to step out, take risks, i want to live each day with all i’ve got…

and above all what i’m living for is to see God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven…

“to preach good news to the poor, to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, & release from darkness the prisoners….” Isaiah 63

“The kingdom of heaven is near, heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” Matt 10

My question to you: “what has God birthed in you that you cannnot ignore in order to be true to who you are & who God’s called/made you to be?”

Good stuff.... If these are the 'plans-wants-hopes' you must translate them in reality so that your joy might be full! Work out the implications of John Piper's genius, 'Don't waste your life!' And just beware that 'Blunty' doesnt dent your soul!! Hi there Paula
