He is My Centre

I put this as my status on FB today "You know for a while things had been a little stagnant at church....so I decided to change seats....moving from the back of the church to the front....and I tell ya....BOOOM!!!! I am feeling it all over again....If you're finding yourself getting comfortable and eventually getting bored and distracted...then maybe all you need to do is CHANGE WHERE YOU SIT!!!....blessings y'all! Good to be home xxx"  


It's been a while since something felt so true as that statement did for me today.  The last couple of weeks since moving to another seat in church my perspective has changed.  It's the same with taking a picture, one photographer has a different perspective to another.  I feel so very blessed to be at the front and to feel in the amidst of worship and to hear His word, His encouragement hit me at full volume than as a faded whisper when you sit at the back.


I feel so relaxed despite being as busy as I am.  I am really appreciating everything that I'm doing.  With my healthy journey I'm receiving comments from those around me saying that I'm looking slimmer. I stand in front of the mirror and see little changes.  My response to their comments is..."I feel really happy".  What a freedom that brings me to say that I am honestly happy.  Of course there are always ways we wish our lives could be better, but how can feel happy in those times if we don't appreciate the times we are in now.


Worship today was awesome.  Not really any different to any other day, but only because I'm at the front of the church now, each lyric and musical note hits my heart like an arrow hits its target.  The words in one particular song  really put me in my place.  My girls are singing it right now as they lay in bed.


Jesus at the centre of it all

From beginning to the end

It will always be

It's always been you

Jesus, Jesus

Nothing else matters

Nothing in this world will do

Jesus you're the centre

Everything revolves around you

Jesus, you, at the centre of it all

Singing this song I reflect on our 10th wedding anniversary coming up in a couple of months.  There have been so many milestones reached in my life.  And from the very start when I left home 11 years ago, I remember promising God that if it was His will for me to leave home then everything I do I will dedicate to Him.  And since then, as I have blogged about before...I cannot describe in words the blessings that He has given me over the years.  And even now with doing photography, God has blessed me with meeting beautiful families, making new friends, sharing a part of my life with them, and them with me.  I am so absolutely blessed.  My temple will be in the condition God intended for me.  I am determined to get there!

I am preparing for my first Sunday sermon as a preacher at the end of next month.  I feel that God is speaking to me and planting messages in my heart about encouraging his people to make a move regardless of how big or small that movement is....it's a move...and that's what God wants.  I am excited and praying for spiritual fulfilment so that whatever encouragement I share on the night will be what He wants me to share.

My life is beyond what I thought it would be 11 years ago.  He has blessed me with so much more....and I am truly thankful and it's all because I have made Jesus the Centre of My Life!!!! so blessed xxxxxx
