The Journey

Still in Chapter 1 of the book in which we are also asked to write an Obituary Notice about our life, write one we would like to read without thinking too much about it.. Seems kind of creepy but I would actually encourage anyone to do it. Obituary Notice – Mark James – Dead at 90 – Buried at 90 Mark James was a humble Man of God, a loving Husband to Samantha and an equally loving Father to his Children. Mark and Samantha as well as the boys went through a transformation when Mark was in his early 40’s. He went through what he described as an ‘awakening.’ Through Inspire and various influential persons Mark was discovering that much of his life had been a lie and his mind was transformed. Mark was a man on a path toward Ordained Ministry although by his own admission Mark often struggled with this through his lack of worthiness, this of course went on to be the very essence of his life.  Mark went on to discovered what it meant to be a true follower of Jesus following a one yea...

I am following a book at the moment called God of Surprises. At the end of each Chapter we are set exercises. The 1st is to study the after effects of daydreaming...

At this point in time I suspect I will be able to survive until approx mid Sept financially, so around a month. Now I am feeling slightly madder! My comfort though is this; I have been told that to follow God with all my heart requ...

There is a truth that I have come to realise over the last few weeks and that is this. I am not who I thought I was so who am I? (This is not a mid life crisis nor is it a meltdown) This is an awakening and it is exciting, my life from this point has a new dimension, a new depth, new possibilities I had not seen before. I plan to explore and share it fully with anyone who wants to join along the way and may it be of encouragement to you also. This is a kind of Journal – During this next year I want to get to know the real me, the I AM that is unique, who was created. I want to offer to you what I find, and learn because as you read this you are probably thinking “Well I know who I am” so Why do I think this at all? When I am asked "tell me about you” I typically respond with what I do for a Job, I talk about my interests, my children, the car I drive, my address etc?
