Nothing can hold me back

Yesterday we had our church praise and worship night and it was freaking awesome!
But I got to tell you something about it. I made a decision yesterday: Nothing is going to hold me back from fulfilling God's plan for my life. No opinions, no people, no man, no nothing shall hold me back. I am soooo absolutely ready to do whatever God wants me and to go whereever He wants me to go, I could explode!

So, people get ready for what God is planning! I am ready and there will be so much power, passion, love and energy... it's going to be awesome and the best part of it is. God's light will shine and people will get saved!

Are you ready?

Life like a parachute

"A parachute works best when it's opened, which means it can not live out its full potential when it's closed."

I heard that this morning in a sermon and thought to myself this is awesome. Very often we live life like a closed parachute. We're not living it out to our full potential. I do believe that in God's plan there is never a small plan for our lives, there is never just something small, something not important meant for us. Whenever we walk with God, he's doing something big whereever we go, his intentions for our life are way bigger than we could even think.

So I want to challenge your thinking here. Let's not narrow our thinking down. Let's not just live a small, unimportant narrow life. But with that let's not be too open minded that we lose our brain, let's rather be open spirited and single minded on God's cause! And then we will live extraordinary lives, we will live lives, used by God where we want to make a difference and actually make a difference.

But what does that mean for us? We need to stay close to God. Let's not be covered up with daily life forgetting our call or forgetting what we're meant to do.

I want to live out my life to a full potential. I want to live the life God intended for me. I am ready to stand up and do something! Are you?

In Him. Ramona

Choices

Today is one of those days where you wish you'd stayed in bed instead of living through the day. It's one of those days where it's hard to get a smile on your face and you feel very mellow (girls, you know what I'm talking about, right ). It's one of those days where you wish for something extraordinary to happen in order to change your feelings...

But then I thought about it and thought to myself. Wait a minute, life isn't about what you feel, it's not about your emotions. It's about the choices you make every day. So if I choose to smile, if I choose to change the mood of the day it might even change. And besides, doesn't the Bible say that all things are possible for those who believe? And doesn't the bible also say that nothing is impossible for the Lord and that I can throw all my sorrows and worries on Him? So why go and pick them up again at the cross, when I've laid them down and ought to be set free!

And then I remember what I tell the girl I mentor almost every week: We are mighty warriors who go out on the battlefield and fight for victory! I remember that we have the body armour of God's righteousness, the shoes to tell the Gospel, the belt of truth, the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith and the sword of the word.

Wow... I get excited now! Let's go and fight, mighty warriors, let's go let's go and fight the enemy, let's go and bring victory home. Let's go and live lives that are called, equipped, empowered and set free!

I'll go, will you?

Yours. Ramona

Point of Difference

We had this amazing Sunday morning service two days ago and I was anew encouraged to preach the gospel. I mean yeah I know we always should but just recently I have felt this very strong urge to more and more be used by God. There's this song Point of Differnce and I just love the lyrics because it says that in the midst of a world broken down God is all we have now.
We should be this point of difference! I think we tend to forget who is within us, whose Spirit, whose Love and Power ist within us. So let's not put ourselves in the foreground, but let God flow through us. Let us be the vessels in God's hands that he can let overflow with His love for the people, let us be the tools in His hands with which he can work so people will be saved and let us be like clay in His hands, ever formable, transformable and conformable to Him so that out of this rough stone He can make precious stones living in His Glory!
People should be naturally drawn to us wherever we go, because the Glory of God is upon us!

I pray that we will step up as a generation daring to make a difference, daring to give everything for the Lord, living a life that's radically changed and surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!

Let's be the point of difference!

In Him be blessed. Yours. Ramona

My God is the God who provides

Hi... I mean hello,

I am so sorry that it took me forever to update this page. A lot has been going on in the last 2 months with the banquet for my pastors, Hillsong Conference in London (which was amazing, envisioning, encouraging and equipping) and visits at my grandmothers! Life is great and I belong to a great God who is ever faithful, ever loving and ever true! What would I do without him. I have such a love for the Lord in my heart I cannot describe it!
Here are the words of a worship song which I fell in love with recently:

Desert Song

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
In weekness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved to more worh than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and he is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir of Christ
So firm on his promise I stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
And I have have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

I hope that your walk with the Lord is going good that you pursue to go deeper with Him and love Him more every day!

Love

Ramona

It's a New

Happy New Year everybody! Wow... I love starting something new, I love changes! This Hillsong song comes to my mind "It's a new day, it's a new day, the past has gone and life has just begun." I love that.

Well, the one thing I want to share with you on the New Year Day is a verse that I have read many times but just recently it so extremely spoke to me. It is in Mathew 6:33 "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need."

I want to seek the kingdom of God above all else and follow Him whereever he leads me, I trust Him, I follow, I trust, I follow and I know He has great plan for my life.

May you continue walking with Him all the days of your life.

Love, Ramona

The Music within

It's Christmas time so it's time to watch The Lord of the Rings trilogy again! My sister gave me the special extended version last year for Christmas which makes it extra special.
Anyhow, we started with the Fellowship of the Ring yesterday and once again I am amazed by the movie, but more by the story, the complexity and the fantasy. It's like diving into another world! Every character is on his/her own journey to become what they were meant to be, to develop or to be the best friend they could ever be!

I still remember when I watched the movie for the first time and didn't know that it was a trilogy. Therefore I thought the ring would be destroyed by the end of the movie... haha... if only I had known. I remember how I sat in the theater, disappointed by the end until finding out that this was only the beginning...

Nonetheless, I want to talk about another movie today, which I watched in the theater this weekend. It is the movie August Rush. Oh my... what an awesome movie. It totally captivated me. It is a beautiful movie about music, love and finding the ones you love! The music in the movie is extraordinary and amazing! The actors are incredible and the story is breathtaking! At the end of the movie I was so into it that I was trembling and crying and after it I was still in that world of the movie and thought about it for a long time. I love those kind of movies. The movies which are able to captivate you and are more than just entertainment!

So... here's the preview, hope you like it and get inspired and go and see the movie:
