ALL CREATION TOGETHER

Sometimes I want to bury myself in this verse. Swim in it and let it get deep into my being. It is always the most profound and glorious thought, to know that whatever happens in life- God holds all of creation together.

CHRIST IS THE VISIBLE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD. HE EXISTED BEFORE ANYTHING WAS CREATED AND IS SUPREME OVER ALL CREATION, FOR THROUGH HIM GOD CREATED EVERYTHING IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS AND ON EARTH.
HE MADE THE THINGS WE CAN SEE AND THE THINGS WE CAN’T SEE-
  SUCH AS THRONES, KINGDOMS, RULERS AND AUTHORITIES IN THE UNSEEN WORLD.
EVERYTHING WAS CREATED THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM.
HE EXISTED BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE AND HE HOLDS ALL CREATION TOGETHER.

 - Colossians 1:15-17

C.S LEWIS

Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.
— C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity)

wine land

it’s been awhile since i posted anything…last weekend matt and i hit the road to discover hunter valley. the trip didnt go as swimmingly as expected due to a seven day stint in hospital afterwards however, it was still a sweet little getaway. if you appreciate good, expensive food & wine, lots of old tourists and vast vineyards- the hunter valley is for you. i wouldn’t recommend going there if you’re on a yeast free diet and your husband doesn’t like wine.
here’s some of my favourite snaps.

CHANGE

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

KILLER WHALES

im on this crazy killer whale buzz today cos last night i had this crazy vivid dream i was by waters edge and they were jumping out of the water..
when i woke up, i felt like id actually experienced it. my sub conscious must know im itching to see a whale in real life!
 on a different note- so sad about the trainer last year at Seaworld in Orlando who was drowned as one of the whales un expectantly pulled her into the water. im all for admiring animals, but i think they should be kept in their natural environment. not in a glorified bathtub and taught tricks just to keep us entertained.. ranty rant…x

Pretty pretty lady
