Child Booster Car Seat

Parents are now faced with the new law that is enforced as of today to put children on a booster seat. I must admit that I have been very relaxed about using the booster seats up until today. Even though my children are probably safer in them. It wasn't until it was the law that I made sure they sat in them.

I find it rather interesting that even before it was compulsory I would think that I probably should have made them sit in the seats, but it was easier and quicker to just jump into the car and say "belts on", have a quick look round to check they're on properly then get off to wherever we were going. Now I am going to have to allow more time and effort to make sure my children are sat securely on their seats.

I spoke to the kids about this new law, and they found it all rather exciting getting into their old car seats this morning. It was as if it was a new adventure or something.

It reminded me of when we read the bible, we can quite often see that God would have us live a certain way. We may even think that it is a good idea and perhaps God knows what he's talking about. But it's not until we have a personal revelation from God by his Holy Spirit that we feel excited and want to do all that he requires of us. It may take a little more effort to comply especially when at times it mean going against what feels natural.

It is often a challenge to live the way God would have us live, but when we are filled with the Holy Spirit the challenge becomes a joy. We must constantly be filled with the Holy Spirit so that we can constantly live a safe, secure and fulfilled life.

Empowered by Vision

How many of us have a vision of what God would like us to do? We get so excited and feel so empowered about this vision. This empowerment helps us and motivates us to get things started with so many expectations of what God is about to do.

Has anyone ever found that once they have been doing this great and amazing thing for a while that it does not seem so great and amazing anymore. Why? It stops being so amazing when no more fruit is being produced.

It is so important to not allow ourselves to be caught up in the uphill struggle of what we believe we have seen. but to go back and allow God to instill the vision once again or show us a way to be fruitful.


We must constantly check all that we do, that we do it for the sake of Gods plans and purposes. All that we do for God however mundane it may seem, can be the most exciting and fulfilling thing if it is what God wants us to do and he has given us a vision for it. Without God it all amounts to rubbish.

We must check what we are doing regularly that it is still in the plans of God and that we are going down the right road. So that we will never go too far down the wrong road (if we do end up on this road). Then we can be empowered by the vision God has given us and produce much fruit for the Kingdom.

New Beginnings

The summertime has drawn to an end. Its has been great having the children around.

Now they are starting a new year at their school. They have been so excited and looking forward to go to their new school. The next pictures you can see are what I took this morning when they were all ready for the next phase.

I find it exciting when a new chapter begins. So much has happened. God is an ever-increasing God so I can look forward to so much more for the next year. Without Jesus in our lives what would be the point of new beginings. With Jesus in our lives we should expect more than ever before.
