Burleigh For Soul Food Breakfast
I was down at Burleigh by 7:45 ( bit later than intended), and feeding my soul on exquisite delights given to me by the hand of my Creator. I walked the 4 km round trip on the extra wide stretch of low tide beach and just rejoiced some more!
I even made another quick video, to give tribute to the Artist of all that was around me.
From there, I visited a friend, then, to church's mid week meeting. Of course, some quality fellowship after that, then home with babies and got dinner ready early.
Outstanding Feature
The day was shrouded in glory for me. Fullness of joy and experiencing a full cup, in every way, my heart light with the pleasure that only freedom in God can bring.
I am still riding this joy of my salvation roll and I want to continue to see it gain momentum.
I was going to share scriptures about this precious salvation, but after adding a workout to my early evening, I am struggling to move lol, and am also healthfully exhausted!
But everything is wonderful.
Even the sad situation I've been walking through has given way under the power of this divine joy! That night of sincere praise and rejoicing broke the back of it!
None of my natural circumstances, bar the decisions I've been making and taking action upon, have changed...but I am lit up inside!
REJOICE!

Back in the first week of May, the Lord, by His Spirit, told me, The time of mourning is over: Rejoice! The season of singing is come.
From that moment, the desire to 'rejoice' through my worship leading with songs of deliverance, has just grown in intensity. I'm looking for songs that focus on our JOY in the Lord. The joy of our salvation. That's what makes us strong. The joy of the Lord is our strength Neh 8:10
Added Point
I want to add a point that I forgot to include yesterday about taking action.
When you decide to change habits in your life, or stop participating in some practice, it's critical to not only stop doing what you want to quit, but to substitute a new thing to do.
Rom 12:21 says Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.
If you want to change your behaviours, but you're used to being around a group of people who want to continue in them, you will likely need to separate yourself in some way, from those people in order to make a good standing for yourself in something more desirable.
You cannot just take something away and leave the void. You must fill it with something. This helps to minimise opportunity for temptation to fall back. When temptation comes, it provides an avenue for distraction, or refocus toward your higher purpose, accompanied by action. In short, it's a way out when wanting to discipline yourself in your faith.
Make a plan to wholeheartedly nourish good fruit by doing what's good, and the old, rotten stuff will starve and wither, and fall off, being replaced by better.
P.s. I added this link below because it is one of my best word studies on how we draw enabling strength from the grace of God, by following Jesus' example... and later, Paul's.
Enjoy! It certainly blessed me to put it together.
