Jesus our why.

God creates us to have the most beautiful lives, full of joy flowing with creation in such harmony and peace.

I really love Pauls statement in Phillippians 3:10 I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death. Sometimes life gets so difficult you have to take such a fierce dedicate leap of faith and make a fierce choice. Gods Word is perfect and God has over 1000 promises in his word in christ jesus available for us christians. And they are amazing. I have needed a place to be fiercely accountable and raw and honest. I am going to fiercely going after Gods 1000 promises and blessings and Jesus Christs life. 🙏 I am going to start writing every detail as i pursue to follow Gods commands and pursue every promises in our God gifted lives.

God blessed me with a desire to love as Jesus loves, and along with his a beautiful purpose to pursue the life of pure holiness and purity. So i am taking the gift of this blog to write and share this journey.

One Thousand Gifts – Ann Voskamp 🌱😇🔑📔💒

Pre story 💦 My name is Abigail, I’m 29 Years old born on Valentine’s Day 14th of February, Gods treasured day to have most marriages and relationship treasure their gift of love a day of genuine mostly appreciation, heavenly agape love and compassionate love spreed through out. Born on a day truly designed along side of The treasure of Christmas time when Jesus was born my our beautiful Holy Spirit and Mary and Easter the most gruesome yet glorious time in history that God sent Jesus (God himself in man through true unconditional love took on the worlds (every man women and child past, present and future) sins and died for us that while we were still sinners died that we would have new life in Christ 💦

A day which even though every day is designed to be full of genuine joy is a day for people to be truly grateful for each other and share their unconditional love yet there’s always been one area iv never quiet had the grip to completely overcome *Gratitude *Thanksgiving and holding it fiercely to become the very foundation build on the solid foundation of Christ Jesus throughly focussed on Gods Will and his absolute Unconditional love for every single person. I’d witnessed the power of being grateful, Godly gratitude finding the blessing in moments especially when I had been unwell in out of hospital I’d generally find a way to be grateful, wether by laughing and creating humour, appreciation for the nurse, I would always see the beauty of healing that was coming and it’s power was beautiful, yet I would always slip back and then I’d rise again being grateful, finding ways to appreciate through the hard pains I was going through. I’m now years down the track. Some hard years and some incredible Gods gifted powerful life changing testimonies prayers answered miracles and we are (I am at a place again where that slipping back has happened yet it’s starting again, this hunger this determination to get back up again. Gain that God gifted victory over that stubborn problem of ingratitude and truly learn not only from the power I have seen through Gods powerful gift of heavenly gratitude but to overcome it in such a way I never slip again but power surge right till Jesus returns the same way he left 🌸

But that was the question? How could I have every single thing turned in such a powerful shift of Giving thanks, always being powerfully grateful in such a deep humble way the same Jesus shows us through how often He Gave God his Heavenly Father our precious Creator THANKS and then the Miracles would happen like how Jesus was able to feed 5,000 plus people with the bread and fish 😍

So I am on. A journey to True Genuine Breakthrough! I started speaking to a beautiful christian women in Dunedin about her God gifted journey and how she would pray and spend her days and she offered a book and sent it up to me. “One thousand gifts” by Ann Voskamp. Now I’d always understood, gratitude was powerful but for the first time I really have been able to link why the gratitude I had experienced in my life was linked to how Jesus even in the face of death was full of thanksgiving. Now the question is how can I become his gratefulness, a life full of love, sacrifice, grace, thanksgiving and joy to truly live the life Jesus had died to give every precious person.

Documenting Moments of Gods Word at Work 🌱

Tonight I am standing in the kitchen about to get some dinner ready, made the choice to just have a fast simple spaghetti in a can meal as our beautiful daughter Waiora is due today. we joyfully got through the first part, my wonderful 2 year old Koha who is a true gift from the heavens above is a very bright able young boy who’s going through a stage of going into draws and cupboards and this time I was able to guide him through with child like joy as his loving Godly mum with communication to shut the draw gentle tickles on his hand to focus on joy and grace through the moments as he’s so full of love and joy and but we have moments though where if something does go his way or he’s not being understood he will get very upset which I understand is a heart focus on my part as a mum learning to represent Christ Jesus and his unconditional love with patience, and truthfully iv had so many moments of getting short impatient angry frustrated (struggles of the flesh when Koha reacts and gets upset has a moment of his emotions rising to the surface of his frustration and I haven’t dealt with the moments as wisely calmly and as gentle with a beautiful loving outcome focus as I could have. However through these times iv come to turn urgently to Gods Word, 90% of the time Gods so beautifully gone to work through his word and Brought peace and calmness and settled both Koha and myself down and either Koha drifts off to sleep or is able to talk then cuddles and goes to sleep. Iv had moments where I am literally saying in a moment when I can feel anger You are a God of forgiveness, gracious and merciful, slow to become angry and rich in unfailing love a promise from Nehemiah 9:17 and it’s managed to help me focus on his promise and step into a place of self control. And this evening Koha got very upset over the cupboard where the plates and bowels are as I had already gotten out what was beautiful needed for the meals. He got really upset I was doing an average job at helping him calm down so I had to pick our precious Koha and bring him to the bedroom and to focus on calming him again between speaking calm down and blowing air on face as his checks were getting very hot and then a mixture of tickles to shift the emotional focus to joy I guided him round expressing it’s bedtime grabbed my phone and look up scriptures on Freedom and read the first three scriptures

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1

“For one who has died has been set free from sin.” Romans 6:7

“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.” Romans 13:8

And within moments Koha’s received Gods peace and calmness and settled down, tears and emotions calmed and fell asleep peacefully. 🌸

It’s truthfully silly how so many times we allow our emotions, circumstances, opinions, thoughts rise up When Gods Word bring such healing, peace, direction, answers and forgiveness and so forth. I’m determined going forward to really apply the scripture of exult Gods Word above, exulting Christ through his word and becoming disciplined in doing so. I’d love to hear your stories, testimonies to build out faith together 💦🙏🏽 God bless each and everyone of you with such deep joy may this little moment of rawness help someone x

For the enemy only came to steal kill and destroy but I (Jesus) came that may have life and to live it abundantly 💦🌱🌸

Gods Word and Bedtime ✨🙏🏽

I truly believe I should share this beautiful testimony of how Gods Word has been such a help at bedtime for our precious almost 2 year old Koha 💦 Not long ago I start the process of the weening from breastfeeding and our sleep patterns haven’t exactly been structured due to lack of discipline. Wev been having some rough going to be situations with some screaming and up and down in and out of bed as Koha’s still sleeping in our big bed however through truthfully getting upset and truthfully disgusted in my own actions as I was getting frustrated and impatient with Koha I basically grabbed Gods Word in a trial to have breakthrough in myself to push away from any temptation to respond to Koha out of my flesh. And do my best to bring peace to bedtime. Every night now I read the word for you, part of scripture or tonight just some fast ones from my phone. And God bless Koha the peace has been coming faster and faster and he’s just drifts off to sleep. Amen! I’m still new at understand Gods Word and the true power behind his precious words of Life.

Some days in the throw of battling something I do forget Gods Word is our sword however the more I am putting it into practice the more I can see a drive to put it more into practice. As I know it’s written we truly are over comers through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. So first I just want to thank God for his word that I know in time as I keep putting it into practice we will truly become victorious in every area. And sharing this for any other precious mum who’s needing help. There’s some amazing Scriptures filled with Gods agape love, his peace, his promises and on Pinterest there’s heaps of fast go to scriptures to bring his joy humility peace grace and heaps of amazing prayers which I am in the process of putting into action in our life ✨

I know our mornings and bedtimes need a lot more structure a lot more intentional focus on getting Cross centred and Gods Will and Jesus at the core of everything I am just truly sharing this for the hope of help to other mums and because I need accountability and to start sharing these moments as I know it’s written that we overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Blessing each everyone of you who have the chance to read 🥰 May the love and favour of our Lord Jesus Christ rest upon you 1 Corinthians 16:23
