The day of new beginnings

Do you have unfulfilled dreams and visions? Do you ever wonder if you will ever see them accomplished? I've been in that place many times before.... but you know I have learnt that sometimes we simply have to wait for the "appointed time". It is good to write these things down, and then you can look back and be thankful for every opportunity that has arisen, however small, in making your dream become a reality.

"Put it in writing, because it is not yet time for it to come true. But the time is coming quickly, and what I show you will come true. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it; it will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed" Habakkuk 2:3

I had a dream since being a young child, with my passion for music and song writing to record an album, I always wanted to sing, and I look back over the years and have many precious memories of those times when I was able to use my God given gifts for him, and I am grateful for each person that has been a part of that journey and encouraged me along the way. But when I was in my late teens I had no idea that I would have to wait until I was in my 40s to see the dream of recording an album fulfilled. But I beleive that Father Gods timing is perfect....and I have held on to the scripture that I was given at my baptism in 1980 through seasons when I simply thought the dream would never become real.

"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11

Now I am so grateful as finally that dream has been accomplished, My album "Simple Faith" was released last September, and now God is opening doors that I never dreamed possible. I am so thankful for loving supportive family and friends who have walked the journey to this place.

Yesterday was such an exciting day, Simon and I rose early and headed of towards Chatham, Kent. We had such a blessed and priveleged time sharing with the fellowship at "The Word House". God is good, and He knows the plans He has for us, and I know in my heart that this was the start of something new.

We have faced many seasons of painful circunstances, but now is the time for new beginnings....and the key is to not look back on the past circumstances that have hindered the dream, but to look ahead, in faith to all the new that is to come.

So if you have dreams and visions that are yet unaccomplished, do not give up, hold on and and it will come.

"Forget the former things;
   do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
   Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
   and streams in the wasteland. " Isaiah 43:18-19

"May he give you the desire of your heart
   and make all your plans succeed.
May we shout for joy over your victory
   and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
   May the LORD grant all your requests." Psalm 20:4-5

"Take delight in the LORD,
   and he will give you the desires of your heart" Psalm 37:4
