Travels  . . .Queensland to Busselton, SWA

It took me two days to travel from Mackay, QLD to Busselton, SWA where I had an amazing opportunity share about my journey of faith, hope and love. 

​I walked into this massive big holiday house on the beach at Aqua Resort: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, huge lounge, kitchen, laundry and everything else that opens and closes.  

Those of you who know me, know that I will NEVER choose the best room with a bathtub the size of an Olympic pool for myself, but this time I have, I was the only
"out-of-towner" and was worried that friends already paired up to share rooms,
so I took the one with the ONE giant king-size bed.


I shared with the 100+ ladies who attended the retreat that for many years I had a simple prayer: "You are the potter, I am the clay, form me and shape me into something useful for your Kingdom" and then I would boldly proceed with "more and more of you and less and less of me". Little did I know how much pruning God needed to do in order to answer my "simple" prayer. I had no idea what I have asked for. 

Sunday, on the last day when I packed to leave, I noticed the portraits above my bed and I cannot believe that I did not see them the minute I walked into the room!
God always finds a way to communicate with me, I just need to be still and listen.  

​He surely is the Potter.


Selah! To pause and think calmly ...

Thank you Christie and the team for creating the perfect environment to pause and think calmly. I walked away refreshed and revived for whatever God has for me next.
