Hello everyone,
It’s Monday evening here in the ‘land of Oz’, so that means many of you are in the ‘land of nod’…..anyhow, as it is the day we share some inspiration, and I had the pleasure of a call from Ora, so here is my contribution, it applies to our group, and the rest of the world! http://mispoetic-debbiestevens.blogspot.com/2008/07/ministry-misplaced.html
Love your girl from Sydney 
This seemed a good place to share my news-News that will ultimately affect numerous people while giving them the recognition they deserve.
Last night I got word about some changes about to take place within the pages of my ezine, GMS [Global Music Star]-It was only during the May birthday celebrations that we finally managed to create our first download version, so exciting! Sadly, the idea for our supplement, Insider, didn’t make much of an impact as we had hoped, but funnily, I never really held alot of expectations as it just didn’t feel right. Not to worry….there were bigger and better things to come! My boss[chief-editor] called me via Skype to share the plan…Global Music Star was ready, ready to go to PRINT!!!!
Yes, you heard me, PRINT! HARD COPY! Full colour gloss, just like her sister; Writing Edge, but standing on her own ISSN :) Today’s been so busy, my fingers have been hitting the keys with lightening speed, eager to share my good news while choosing the pages to enter its first edition. So, my baby boomer diva sisters, it gives me great pleasure to announce the birth of another miracle! And it happened right here, amidst the turmoil and chaos that my house has been under of late. I can already see the staff room out back of the laudromat, buzzing with ideas whilst dryers tumble and machines wash! There are 3 new faces already on board, Shelly Ryan[comedian] Mike Farley[media management/producer] and our very own ‘telephone diva’. Raven Blair Davis!! It doesn’t get much better for me right now, and I thank GOD I am alive!
Please drop by the official site sometime, this will continue to exist alongside its hard copy version.

I want to wish Happy Mother’s Day to all Mother’s out there.
You are beautiful!
Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of “Mother”…
~ Edgar Allen Poe

G’day sisters-
I wanted to share a moment with you, it won’t take much time and I hope for some, like myself, find comfort knowing that these trying times are not travelled alone.
As I began my day, my mind drfited back to the dream I had during the early hours of the morning…it was one of those dreams which seem to hang on to you all day long. Mine was a sad dream, with some family members scattered in parts, and me, the main character. I was trying to explain the changes we had all gone through, and how these changes had deeply affected us all, but no one seemed to be listening? Each family member has lost the anchor to the main ship, being my mother. So many are drifting lost at sea. There were tears, rage, and frustration which were as clear as day…and when I woke, I reached for my book of ‘biblical help’. I turned to the section, “When someone close to you dies”, because this is what propells so much of the pain within my family, keeping them seperated, from me, and from God.
It said the feelings were better ‘expressed’, than ‘repressed’, something i have been doing since the day mum went back home to our Saviour. But not everyone sees it this way, and many choose NOT to express, which I have no doubt buries the pain deeper into their soul and their everyday lives. CJ Lewis once said he railed against God when he lost his wife, but when he spent himself in accusations against God, he sensed the loving arms of God wrap around him, enveloping him in such a way that even HE was unable to describe! How I wish my family could feel this with God, and so I prayed that sooner or later, they would invite God back into their lives. God does listen, and he feels for us, but we must invite Him into our pain and draw upon His comforting love, strength and His support.
It says that divine comfort doesn’t mean that our tears will dry up, or that our grief come to a sudden halt. These are natural processes that have a powerful therapeutic effect. What it does mean, is we will feel God there in the midst of our tears and grief. The pain has to be entered into, worked through, even the pain of saying, ‘Goodbye’.
Never is God’s presence more powerful, and consoling, than during our bereavement for he gives us most, when most is taken away. And i know that no two people grieve the same, but I believe there is only one true light that guides our dark path. Today has been an emotional awakening, and I simply thank God for allowing my eyes to see.

I love the little movies which come by from time to time in my email (via Scott Stratten).
The lastest one I watched was called the Sales Diva movie.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy the quotes such as:
“Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition”
Timothy Leary
Enjoy!

Today is a new day. You will get out of it just what you put into it… If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, there is always another chance for you…for this thing that we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down.

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.
