Those shelves, cupboards or hidden away places where everything gets stuffed away in a hurried effort to clean the house. Suddenly, without much effort, everything looks neat and tidy, just in time for the guests to arrive for dinner. You have a great time, and maybe they even comment on how great the place looks, but at the end of the night when everyone goes home and the light are all out, the mess is still there. It might be hidden away for now, but it’s still there, and eventually it comes back out. In a similar way, we have these spaces in our hearts. Places where we hide away junk that we don’t want to deal with. Areas where we stuff down emotions we don’t want to face, or memories that we don’t want to revisit. We store our disappointments there, and maybe some parts of our character that we know need attention. It’s easier to hide them away. https://www.identityproject.com.au/blog/determinedforgiveness monthly 0.5 2020-01-29 https://www.identityproject.com.au/blog/an-everyday-yes monthly 0.5 2020-01-23 https://www.identityproject.com.au/blog/lessons-from-leahs-life monthly 0.5 2020-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1578540607780-6TYGTUK3D13I5KNGEA5K/IMG_3767.jpg BLOG - Lessons from Leah’s Life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1578540645190-LEAZGO70P5WOES9PF54F/11.jpg BLOG - Lessons from Leah’s Life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1578540635900-WLQC4U6UYNTB6LQ1OQCN/IMG_3769.jpg BLOG - Lessons from Leah’s Life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1578540677786-PNWXA20HVIRUTY00ACOX/10.jpg BLOG - Lessons from Leah’s Life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1579504021308-0BN2A2WTIM5G3PWPD914/image.jpg BLOG - Lessons from Leah’s Life - L eah was the first wife of Jacob (he ended up with four - very different time and culture). Jacob was the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham - a major player in the Old Testament. He later wrestled with God and his name was changed to Israel. His children would become the 12 tribes that formed God’s own special nation. Now, you would think that this family, who played such a big part in God’s story here on Earth would have their lives pretty well worked out. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Their story is full of brokenness and heartache, just like many of our lives are, however God was able to bring great hope and beauty out of their shame and disappointment, just as he can in us! You can read the full story of Leah’s marriage to Jacob in Genesis 29, and I encourage you to do this, however I will briefly summarise it here. Basically, Jacob was in love with Rachel, Leah’s younger sister. Their father, a man named Laban, promised Jacob that he could marry Rachel if he worked for him for 7 years. Jacob agreed, and the Bible says that the years seemed like only days to him because he was so in love (Gen 29:20). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1579504200989-ZSS1IDR0A1MXNWLGUCEM/image.jpg BLOG - Lessons from Leah’s Life - Leah, in the passage we just read had a heartbreakingly sad perspective on who she was. A gut wrenchingly tragic way of viewing the world around her, of measuring her worth and of measuring her value. She was looking to her husband to answer these questions and give her life worth and meaning. When you consider her story - you can see how she found herself in that place. She was just waiting and hoping, that with the birth of each child Jacob would see her, would hear her, and would connect with her. That he would say something that made her feel accepted, valued, loved, wanted. That’s all of us sometimes! And, just like Leah, we can find ourselves looking to the wrong people to answer our questions of worth and value. It can be a harsh cycle. But I love that our God is a God of transformation. He is a God if new beginnings. https://www.identityproject.com.au/blog/xglx4vm70g6ik76e47i18ru75o9flf monthly 0.5 2020-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1577541880083-5F7JVFOTHG1T4U3ATAH7/78FF64CA-9148-47C9-92BF-D5907448D885.JPG BLOG - Holiday Rentals & Resolutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1577542526721-90XZ4KLFPSYQ956QC9JX/IMG_4141.jpg BLOG - Holiday Rentals & Resolutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1577541866830-Y4N7AD3ABTQLEIMWSG4T/BDCDC9A6-4904-4A69-A4A5-40BBEB4DA5F9.JPG BLOG - Holiday Rentals & Resolutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1577542593611-QHKK20EH8OC1OA2X7HFL/IMG_4148.jpg BLOG - Holiday Rentals & Resolutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1577542324576-KVHL7ZIRRL0DCVWL3QQF/8D23BD46-E1FE-42C2-9E09-019B2813C00C.JPG BLOG - Holiday Rentals & Resolutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1577542329371-M8BT7OI3CYOWUC2XJ1IG/CBEA9475-CB99-4034-B616-CF366FD7405B.JPG BLOG - Holiday Rentals & Resolutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1577542344036-98CU3Z50SJ8STGYXPZYV/75202654-2BF7-46A5-8267-7D81B537A12B.JPG BLOG - Holiday Rentals & Resolutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1577543286731-S2WZA8LJ9M2HJQ2Z08KF/D0F4E73E-64B2-4FD8-8A70-EFAD93F0E028.JPG BLOG - Holiday Rentals & Resolutions https://www.identityproject.com.au/blog/christmas-is-for-everyone monthly 0.5 2020-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1579504813873-KCE6SXSCUBOT8YXOP1E9/image.jpg BLOG - Christmas Is For Everyone - I love everything about Christmas! I love the community spirit that comes alive for events in the park and parades down the mall at this time of year. I love the decorations, the lights, the tree and the tinsel. I love taking time to think about each significant person in my life and how I could blow their socks off with the perfect gift. I love the carols, I love the nativity story – I love all of it! Each year, I find myself feeling amazed and filled with joy and wonder at the fact that the whole world stops to celebrate and remember the birth of Jesus- the moment in the stable, all those years ago, when heaven literally came to Earth. Recently I have found myself with tears in my eyes as I have listened to carols in different places. Sometimes in church or at a carols service, but often playing in the shopping centres or other places where you would least expect to hear songs of worship- because really that is what they are! https://www.identityproject.com.au/home daily 1.0 2021-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1569895735545-8GP0SEY8WJ2MWM6BYTNM/IMG_7447%252Bcrop.jpg HOME - WELCOME!

WHO YOU ARE. Your identity forms the foundation on which the rest of your life is built. It is the lens through which you process the world around you and the platform from which you interact and respond to others. Yet often, without even realising, we allow this critical part of our lives to be shaped and influenced by the voices around us. So often we end up with fragile, broken identities and incomplete pictures of who we truly are, what we are truly capable of and the purpose that each of our lives was designed to fulfill. It’s time to listen to a different voice. It’s time to tune our ears to hear what the one who created us and loves us says about who we are, and allow His words to form the foundation upon which we build out lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1585886439243-WDV1E213YDR1R77N0TIZ/IMG_5863_Facetune_03-04-2020-13-17-32+3.jpg HOME Shop Journal Gift Set https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1585948071187-YOYJ7A0NA7BZZVD1O19P/IMG_5897.jpg HOME Shop Devotional Journal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1585948797908-XF03K42AK8CKRJ243HLK/IMG_5892.jpg HOME Shop Necklace Gift Set https://www.identityproject.com.au/contact-1 daily 0.75 2019-09-28 https://www.identityproject.com.au/gifted-for-greatness daily 0.75 2020-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee30d3786cf5a74809b2a/1584048746788-OE0Y3IA9JCRD1YP5QQ57/IMG_5615.jpg GIFTED FOR GREATNESS - PROMISE CARDS Remind your self daily who you are with these beautiful promise cards.
