My Pastel World

                 Even If We Are Broken We Are Still Useful It always amazes me how and when and where Abba Father talks to us and what He uses to show us and guide us with. Yes again He showed up while I was in the shower, while trying to wash my hair. You see, I was having trouble trying to pour out my shampoo out of the nozzle supplied on the top of the shampoo container, which is supposed to make it easier to pour out. It was just pouring out everywhere and wasting so much of the shampoo in the process. I then had to take the nozzle of and just pour it out the old fashion way without the nozzle. The next time I got into the shower I took the nozzle of again and found that there was actually a split in the opening of the top of the container. Hence why the container wasn’t working as it should, the way that it was meant to, the way that it was designed to, it wasn’t as effective. But it still could be used.   Then Abba Father said to me even though you’re broken and not able to w

But until yesterday I didn’t realize that they are also a very handy pin tin.   I was busy pinning up a project that I am busy doing at the moment and I was struggling to get these little pins out of there little tiny container they came in. I didn’t want to take all my pins of my old but very strong pin dish (As shown down on the second lost photo of this blog). So I would put them into one of my empty magnetic pin tins. Well I was struggling even more to get them out of the depths of the tin. Then I tipped them into the lid and this made it easier. But ROFL! I saw the magnet on the bottom of the tin and thought “Oh my goodness I have had these all this time and I didn’t realize that if I tipped the metal objects into the lid and then turn the tin upside down and place the lid on top of the

                                                    One Minute Pause Today I just wanted to share with you this really helpful app that was recommended to me. It is an app to just take some time out of your day to just pause for 60 seconds and breathe. I have found it really is helping me to just feel less burdened and more relaxed in amongst the business of my life. The app is free. It is by John Eldredge a Christian author. I have not yet purchased his bible study or DVD or anything like that and I might but I just have too much to do right know and so will have to wait for that. But I can totally recommend this app to anyone especially if you just feel like you’re part of this world has totally gone mad or just out of control. Check it out. I found it very doable because he offers on the app a 1 minute pause and then if you feel like you would like to do a little more then there is a 3 minute pause and for those that feel that could or need more there is a 10 minute pause. I

                                    Who Remembers The Mr. Whippy Van Who remembers the Mr. Whippy van driving around the neighborhood of Melbourne, Victoria? I do, it was one of my precious memories of growing up. He would play his music on his loud speaker so that everyone no matter where you were could hear that Mr. Whippy was coming. We would all run out of the house so watch him coming especially on those really hot afternoons. While you would wait you could see all the other children and parents running out to their nature strips to purchase one of his yummy soft serve ice creams. Sometimes my parents would buy us all one and sometimes they wouldn’t. Now as a grownup I realize that they couldn’t always afford to buy us all one. But that still didn’t stop us from running out to watch Mr. Whippy do his thing. Mr. Whippy looked the splitting image of Elvis Presley. We used to think he had left his job and come to serve us ice cream and sing to us in Tottenham. Because we didn’t r

      We Were Created to be loved & to Love John 13:34-35 The Message 34-35  “Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.” If we are filled with negative thoughts, hate, bitterness, rage, and judgment about what others are doing, or how others are choosing to live their lives, then we will not reach our fullness of all that we were created/made to be. For when we judge other we are actually putting ourselves on the judgment seat, the throne of God and by judging other we are     But when we are full of Jesus’ love, we can be all that we were created/made to be and more. We were created to be loved and to love.   Jesus was the perfect example of love and He came to show us His perfect love and teach us His way of love. He taught His disciples and those around Him, all His ways. Paul writes of this perfect love that he l
