I move around a bit, not because of any trouble with the law...I mean unless outstanding fees to some tanning salons, but that's another story. Here's your way to keep up with me :) I'm a fast poster, so you may have to refresh the page a few times a day, there is NEVER a dull moment in my life :) So grab a coffee, biscuit, blanket, and get ready to laugh til your sides hurt :)
21 Days ::day1::
Then he said to me, Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. (Daniel 10:12)
from the FIRST day you set your heart to understand and humble yourself before your God…your words were heard. As a human being I feel
Like this can safely be said to be our number one unspoken desire: to be heard. I’m ALWAYS needing to be
Heard. Always. Ha. Eye contact, response, verbal and visual cues. I’m always looking to see and hear them!
I love this verse!! A reminder that: Bianca, yes, from the first day you set your heart, humbled yourself…in other words: from the first day you wanted to be heard…I’ve been listening. And He doesn’t just stop there, b/c my Jesus is not one who just listens to my requests…but He shows up b/c of my words. Thank you God, that you are not a God of religion, that you don’t pawn me off to someone else to talk to about my problems, but you sit eagerly awaiting for me to come to you, wanting to show up and tell me, I’ve heard everything…you’re personal. You care about the most minute things I have to say…b/c I’m important to you, everything I wanna talk out is important to you. I love that my “safe place” is anywhere. B/c He is everywhere. Day 1

“New Semester…New Stream… Breaking New Ground”
Well it is official…I’m STILL here in Australia… BUT I’ve changed my stream//classes. I am now in Pastoral Stream! What does this mean: Imma learn ta PREACH! :) I have always known I have the potential of being a great communicator, and that I’m an entertaining person(Lord knows I have plenty of stories to tell people) BUT I want to have something worth listening to. Entertainers make people feel good, and are able to change atmosphere and create an entertaining environment, communicators challenge, inspire, and help people on this journey of life…I want to be both in one! This semester is gonna be intense, and challenging. I will be completely out of my comfort zone, but I am so excited to see what God does with what I have in my hands. I’m ready with my 5 loaves and 2 fish!!! Jesus YOU feed the thousands!!!
All my love B ;)
I lack in NOTHING!
“For ALL of God’ promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a RESOUNDING ‘Yes!’ and through Christ our ‘amen’ ascends to God for HIS glory!”
2 Corinthians 1.20
Read this today and just can’t stop thinking and smiling about it!! How many times have I heard come out of my own lips: Ugh! Ok God, I thought things were gonna get better! You PROMISED!! Remember in YOUR word YOU said: I have plans to PROSPER you NOT to harm you!! Wheres the promise now God?!? And sometimes there have been the secret promises God has given me: a family, a husband, a home. And there are days when I look at where I’m at and those promises are so far off, I don’t even think NASA could track them! But this! This doesn’t give me a HOPE…Hope is for peace in knowing the things to come WILL COME…this gives me a peace and a rest and fulfillment in WHERE I AM!!
It says ALL of God’s promises…not some, not only the ones you read in the Bible, not only spiritual promises…NO. ALL of God’s promises are FULFILLED! Not are starting, are almost there, will be here at the end of the age, or when your heart is ready, or when you have learned something…NO! They ARE FULFILLED IN Christ! And I love what the NLT says: with a RESOUNDING yes! Haha!! I picture God just bellowing it out! So it gets through my thick skull, so that it SHAKES the enemy when He tries to convince me otherwise. They are YES!! In Christ!! So…if I have Jesus, every promise I’ve had, every promise I will have from God IS FULFILLED!! My healing, my calling, my steps, my financial provision, my family’s care, my family! I have HIM and in HIM is all the fulfillment of promises!
So what do I do? How should I walk in this? What should my steps look like? Well…I stand up, and just yell back amen!! Yes!!! To give HIM all the glory:) live my life in walking as if I KNOW this truth…when people look at me they say: hmm…she’s livin the dream…she’s still single, living in a house with 4 girls, no kids, and in school, working at a RETAIL job, no career, and not that much cash in the bank…but she’s living the dream! She’s living as if all her promises and dreams have come true…BECAUSE they have! In Him, I’m fulfilled. Lacking in NOTHING! Just a girl screaming out YES!!! All freakin day long:) He’s just too good…always;)
