2011

wow okay, 2011... What does it have in store for me? Honestly? I dont know. Infact i dont really have an idea. Someone prophesied over me that Ipswich was the hurtful time, Armidale was the surgery and recovery and orange would be walking about my healing. I dont often agree with prophesies and different things but i agree with this one. The song on my heart for this year is Commission My Soul by Citipointe... The chorus goes

"Commission my soul with your fire uncontrolable for this great cause - to save the lost. Open my eyes to the reason im alive, Lord im ready now, ill follow you!"

Ive heard so many people make comments like "I dont even try to keep track of Ronnie, she moves too much" or "Its about time that you settle down, go to uni, get a career, get married, start a family"

I dont know of anyone that really understands me. I dont fit into the box that other people fit into. I dont see myself in a 9 til 5 job, driving a nice pretty car with my hair all tied back. Thats not me. Im the kind of girl that hears Gods voice and follows it. Now im not saying that people who have a 9 til 5 job arent hearing Gods voice or are wasting their lives, im just saying that its not what God has for me. Its not at all appealing to me. I want to bring freedom, i want to bring love. I want to get in and get my hands dirty. I want to mess up the kingdom of darkness and bring forth the kingdom of God. I want to raise people up to be all that god wants them to be. I want to be all that God wants me to be.

As for marriage - im 21, im not ready. Not to say that people cant or shouldnt get married at my age or younger. Ive just realised that im going to be in this season once. Once im married, thats it. I cant go back. I want to live this season of my life to the full and do things now that i just cant do when im married. I have a massive desire to be married and have a family of my own but right now, im a single 21 year old who is just flowing with the spirit.

Im in Orange this year! I dont know how much longer ill be here than this year but im excited. I love it here so much, i actually never want to leave. I miss my family so incredibly much, and all of my friends from the various places that ive lived but this is where God has me and i couldnt be more content. I love Jesus and i trust the plans that he has for me.

I dont care if at the end of the year, one person was impacted. It would be worth it. If i get to bring one person even just closer to knowing God, it would be worth it. Im hoping to go back to Africa this year but we will see where that leads. I love Africa and i miss it every day im away from it.

I came into this year with torn ligaments and on crutches and im not at all discouraged! That actually showed me that this year is going to be huge! Its going to be a year of tearing down the kingdom of darkness! Its going to be a year of people drawing closer to Jesus! He came to bring life to the full! How exciting! I love that satan hates me, it means im doing something right!

So 2011 is going to be a full on year and im ready for it! I feel like God has been training me for 6 years and this is the year hes been training me for. Im so excited! Bring it on (:
