Thanks for taking the initiative and 're-opening' the blog Andrew :)

GOD is awesome - as you say. The evidence of his response to prayer is daily in my professional as well as personal life and exciting to see positive movement in the lives of students, colleagues and family members.

I am so blessed to have ministry opportunities cross my path DAILY and that his grace has given me the eyes to notice them, the heart to stay with them, the ears to listen and the trust and faith to be guided by his spirit in speaking truth from a place of love ..... even if it means being 'disliked' for it!

One of the many miracles I am witnessing is the level of Inner Peace, Joy and Freedom I am experiencing in the midst of the ultimately 'meaningless' stuff brought about by pride, defensiveness and ego of others..... and at times myself!

The juggle, I find, is to maintain patience, compassion and a non-judgemental attitude towards those who choose to take the 'lower path' and splash around in the muddy waters of self-destructive behaviours.

I love your words! I love your life and example Gemma. You are a living, breathing miracle of God!

Keep living in the Peace, Joy and Freedom I know God is unleashing in your life. Keep steering clear of the muddy waters and keep drinking in the living water.

Amen to that my dear brother in Christ :)
