My name is Angela Grace. I have many hats, have had many roles, but first and foremost I am a follower of Jesus Christ. Beyond that, I have done a lot of life with highs and lows, grief and joy, laughter and tears. I am an aunty, a Pastor at my church, a daughter, a sister, a friend and then a little bit of whatever else is needed too. I have spent many years becoming okay with me, who I am, who God has called me to be, what He is calling me to do. I have had challenges just like you, and I have endeavored to stay the course of my faith regardless of circumstances or what others say. It's not an easy road, it's often a lonely one, but right now I feel I am beginning to see the fruit of my obedience, my trust and the desires of my heart are being fulfilled.
A few years back I was put on a low GI diet to help with my fertility journey. The detox was not fun, but as I have listened to my body over the past few years and now I can clearly see when I have over loaded my system. When I choose to indulge it … More Sugar high, sugar low….
As I have entered 2018, with unanswered prayers, with questions for God, with days where I am holding onto miracles and breakthroughs I am believing for by the tips of the tips of my fingers…. God reminds me to hold on a bit longer and a bit tighter and most importantly, that He hasn’t forgotten … More There will be miracles.
Every year I put together an album of things that have happened in our world. People get so annoyed as I am always taking photos, trying to capture a moment so I can hold onto it forever. So right now I am putting our 2017 album together…. I have captured so many memories this year, … More Memories that propel you forward….
They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well in my world, my dysfunctional, blended family have not been the only ones I choose to embrace as family…. it is an ever growing, multi-dimensional, multi-cultural family I choose. It crosses cities, countries and continents. They are my #friendswhoarefamily I have parents who love … More #friendswhoarefamily
Sometimes my life feels as interesting as this mug. So much going on, but nothing to tell…. People, myself included, get so caught up in the day to day that we miss the fun, the moments that you cannot repeat. We don’t stop to look up and appreciate what is in front of us. Looking at … More Measuring up to a mug….
I had the privilege to share at my church last night and talk about how it practically looks when we are created in the image of God. We have been doing a series called Crossing To The Other Side and this was a part of that series. Right back at the beginning of the … More Whose image do you reflect?
I value family time. I am fortunate to have my husbands family near by, but my family are all based in NZ. But last week my mum and dad (step-dad) were visiting – imagine me jumping for joy and doing a crazy happy dance right now. So as I sat there awake at midnight one … More Are you being intentional?
I think almost everyone at some point feels like their life is in some state of chaos and confusion. At this stage of your life where had you planned to be? Married… with kids…. owning your own business…. working in full time ministry…. traveling…. more friends…. settled…. happy…. You may have different goals and plans … More Peace in the midst of chaos….
Pain comes in loss, but if we never loved then we would not understand the value of what was had lost.Love places value, it brings joy, hope, excitement, it creates wonderful memories. Love also causes us to be vulnerable, experience hurt, it can cause us to fear loss. However, love can cause us to become … More Love and loss….
Real is no longer real. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a little reality tv (The Block is a fave of mine, much to hubbys dismay) but where do real people get to see real examples of how to do life in a healthy way. … More Social pressure and expectations…. none here
