passion that draws emotion.

-
I just love passion that draws emotion, things that make people cry because they wont stand of injustice or because their love for something is so great.
A few youth nights ago i was both a victim and witness to this beauty. I got passionate while band rehearsal and set up was happening, some of the older people in the band stated that my brother who was on drums wasnt a good enough drummer to drive the music and they asked him not to play. i was mad, i was defensive and i was passionate about the band being a youth focus and about giving the youth a shot. i got upset and i got passionate about making it a good experience for all. THe situation worked out in the end my brother played and did amazing and i think the idea of a youth focussed band was given through my passion.

The passion i witnessed was from our new youth pastor, i think that night he definately proved his heart for youth ministry. He got up to talk and it was after we had sung "your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me" and He shared his heart to see our young people know and accept the love of christ and how it breaks his heart to think that some dont know that who were sitting there. He got teary about it. I love that passion, passion for christ, passion for young peole and passion for lives to be changed.

my hope is that if you are passionate about something you will let that p0assion show no matter what that cost, show your emotion for that passion, hope desire and dream and realise that dream to become a reality.
God gave you things you were passionate about for a reason, so get passionate!

The day I found my voice

-
For some of you who know me really well, you might be thinking, Nicole has always had a voice. But I want to tell you, this weekend I found my voice. It wasn't really lost, but it wasn't confident. It was hidden behind the fear of being judged or boxed a certain way. This weekend just gone we had the Presbytery and Synod meeting for the SA Uniting Church.  This is the business and governance (or AGM) meeting for the whole church.   I have been a member for a number of years at this meeting, but haven't really spoken on matters at the microphone.  This weekend, I went to the mic, not just once, but 4 or 5 times. Now, you might just say, well yeah, that's the process, you were just doing due diligence to the role and reason you were at the meeting.  You are right but let me explain a little more about why it was important for me to find my voice. During the first day of the meeting, in smaller working groups, I cautiously and nervously shared my thoughts....

Am I Qualified???

-
1 Timothy 3:1-12 talks about the qualifications for overseers and Deacons - i hadnt read this passage until this year when it was a passage that our youth pastor gave to our youth leadership team as a reminder of how to live our life and as leaders what we should do. 1 Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into ...

That feeling... you just cant throw...

-
So some of my friends have previously come to me wanting support because they have depression and cant seem to shake their mood. I've always tried to be there for them but ive always struggled to understand depression and other such mental health issues even though ive always wanted to understand so i could support. I couldnt see why people didnt stop reflecting on the negative and started looking to the stuff that was going right in thier life. i just didnt get it no matter how hard i tried. Luckly my friends have mostly gone through that stage of their life now and are recovering and moving on from the things which were holding them down. right now i have that feeling i cant throw. its an awful place to be in. I see the wider picture and have responsibility and feel the need to have what i do sorted out to be able to effectivelt lead and be a role model. but to be honest im hurting. i feel empty, cloudy and alone. i want to cry but i want to look tough. it sucks. i dont know ...
