I didn't realise how just simply stopping and being can miraculously cause time to slow down too.

Learning to Let Go…
I am reminded in a gentle whisper that my gracious God is looking down on me from above, saying to my anxious, controlling self, "Cast all your cares upon me. Lay all of your burdens down at my feet. Let go and let me! It's going to be okay."

A New Year…
We don't need a reason to bless someone or say an encouraging word; we don't need a reason to keep party lights up and turn the music on so we can sing at the top of our lungs and dance the night away; we don't need an excuse to celebrate, to be joyful, to laugh with friends; we don't need a reason, let just do it!

Conny’s Constants – 7th November, 2015

Different Gifts, by His Grace
"We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully." Romans 12:6-8 (NIV)

Happiness…
(Previously Published on Mrs Words Blog) I have discovered that I can’t be someone else’s happiness. I can’t make someone be happy. I can’t be their vehicle to happiness. I know it all sounds a bit ominous, but stay with me and I’ll explain… In the past few weeks, someone close to me was feeling pretty low and down on life. Now, this person has got a lot going for them. To be really honest, their life is pretty good....

Sunset Selah
I think we all need to be reminded of that. In everyday life, it's so easy to be busy, distracted and caught up in everything going on around us. We fail to just 'pause and ponder', to take a moment and reflect.

Crashing Waves
...I reflected on the amazing power and force that was within the waves. I felt kinda helpless for a second there in the midst of the wave as it crashed over my body. Who would have thought that water, simple salt water would have that much strength to knock a person off their feet...

Rainforest Serenity
Then, we entered this peaceful, beautiful garden in the midst of the noise and busyness of the city. In this little oasis, it was very easy to imagine that your surroundings were sprawling, almost endless - until you looked up and saw the tall buildings.
