It's difficult to imagine my life without God. It's like trying to breathe without air. He has orchestrated my life in such a way that there's no way that I or anyone could take glory for this journey.
We were sent to New Zealand with the purpose of planting churches here. This is a land we did not know. We wanted to buy a business and asked God to place us where we would be effective for Him. Little did we know that He was going to send us to the country(farm).
We fell in love with the beauty of God's creation. This is where one could just be still and know that He is God. You slowly begin to understand the greatness of Elohim(God, the Creator). He beautifies the earth and everything in it by His word alone.
This little village in a valley in Ararimu was on God's heart before we ever turned up on the scene. Godly people were praying for a church and God answered their prayers by sending Neil & I to plant a church there. God was looking for someone who would step out the boat and walk upon the water, who would keep their eyes on Him trusting Him completely. We were just the willing vessels who had faith enough to believe God's word.
When you believe in Jesus, He gives you His thoughts and His dreams for the fulfiment of His plans on the earth. So when God stirs your heart to do anything that would bring Him glory, know that it is from Him and act. Do not think the thought to death. Because as time goes by while you work out the when, the where and the how, there are people who are waiting for you to rescue them from darkness, open their blind eyes and set them free from their prisons.
Walk upon the water, because Jesus is right there with you, holding your hand and leading you.
God bless you and your family
Love, Heather
Amen. Thank you Jesus.
