So the bells are ringing and choirs are singing,
christmas bells bellowing through the angels and their songs
come little children, follow the sounds
Celebrate this time for giving, sharing each special moment with your loved ones
Be reminded of their love, why you love them and how much love there is to give
Merry Christmas you all
Be Blessed

“You belong among the wildflowers – you belong in a boat out at sea. You belong with your love on your arm. You belong somewhere you feel free.”_Tom Petty
I struggled alone through the mess of several broken hearts. As a young woman once wrote us:How could a woman of God be confident, scandalous and beautiful, yet not portray herself as a feminist NAZI or an insecure I-need-attention emotional whore. How can I become a strong woman without becoming harsh? How can I be vulnerable without drowning myself in my sorrow?
Through high school I stumbled feeling unseen, unsought and uncertain. I never knew where I was heading or what I yearned to become. My raging hormones made for years of mixed emotions, bad skin and a terrible fight inside of who I was to become. And talking to some of my friends it became clear I was not alone in this nagging sense of failing to measure up, a feeling of not being good enough as a woman.
And ever since every woman I have met feels it – something deeper than just the sense of failing at whom she is. I am not enough, not thin enough, not kind enough, not gracious enough, not disciplined enough. But too emotional, to needy, too sensitive, too strong, too opinionated, too messy. The result is shame, the universal companion of a woman. It haunts us, nipping at our heels, feeding on our deepest fear that we will end up abandoned and alone. …. And in all exhortations we have missed the most important thing of all, we have missed the heart of a woman. And that is not a wise thing to do, for as the Scriptures tell us, the heart is central. “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of live.” When God created you in his image- when he created you as his woman – that journey begins with your heart. Another way of saying this is that the journey begins with desire.
Look at the game little girls play, and if I do, remember what I dreamt of as a little girl. Look at the movies all woman love. I think you will find that every woman in her heart longs for three things: to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and to unveil beauty. That’s what makes a woman come alive.One of my favourite games growing up was “kidnapped and rescued.” I know many little girls who played this- or wished they had. To be the beauty, abducted by the bad guys, fought for and rescued by a hero. Why did I play this, deep inside I have always loved feeling wanted and fought for. Little girls longs for romance, to be seen and desire, to be sought after and fought for. We want to be part of something grand, something important. That there is something inside of us that is needed and needed desperately, irreplaceable. My heart was meant to be lived with you.
I have always longed to be an irreplaceable part of a shared adventure, and that adventure has been made in the image of God’s perfect relationship.
I want to be beautiful
And make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart
And be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
I just want to be worthy of love
And beautiful xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
