Myself and my family have just moved house, which is why I’ve been absent from blogging for quite a while.  In fact, I’ve been going through a fair few life changing events this summer, which I’ll blog about over the coming weeks :).

Way back in March when I began blogging I attended the New Wine Women’s conference, where Jane Achiloi shared some mind-blowing testimony. One of the stories which really spoke to me was about giving what you have and God blessing and using it.  After a fair while of seeking God my family and I felt it was right to sell our house, pay off all our debts and for me to leave my job, which was crippling me, and go into ministry full time.  It was a huge step of faith, as you can imagine, and I’m extremely happy to say we’re on the other side of it now and living in the blessing of God’s provision :).

God has caused everything to run smoothly, but it hasn’t always been easy.  I remember feeling so strange and insecure on the day we moved out of our beautiful home, where we had lived for 16 years and brought up our children.  As I stood in our rental house looking around at all the boxes piled up, wondering where on earth we were going to put everything, I had this overwhelming feeling of ‘What on earth have we done?’  During those moments I couldn’t imagine how we were going to settle into this new house.  I dragged my tired body up the stairs and into my new, smaller bedroom and there was something safe and familiar….my bed!  As I crawled into it and pulled the covers over my head I felt safe and secure.  Psalm 4:8 says “I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety”.

Whatever situation you are in today where you feel alien or insecure, our Father is constant and we can always crawl safely into His arms.  He will never leave you or forsake you…Deut 31:6. Sometimes we just need to rest secure in Him for a while, until we feel safe again. No matter where we are, He is always with us.
