Will the Real Jesus please Stand Up?

If you are looking for the real Jesus Christ and not religion, listen to the lyrics of the songs in this album.

It's the music of a generation when we were young - during the Jesus Movement which swept the Western World 🌎

It's raw, authentic and relatable.

Health and Fitness Update:

On Thursday my friend Emma and I did the yellow walk in the Redwoods (our local forest, for my international friends), which is 7.5km up hill and down dale. I have not done it in a number of years, and even though we have been regularly training on the streets, this was our first foray into the forest this season.

About ten to fifteen minutes into the walk I was stupidly continuing to walk as I was looking up at a gorgeous huge fern frond in the sunlight. Next minute my foot slipped sideways on a different level, and my ankle rolled under my weight as I fell down with a crack and a burning sensation... 🙄 🦶 😣

Being the tough girl Ninja Nana that I am, I kept going - haha, I wasn't going to turn back at that point!! 😅🌲🌿

We completed the walk in 1 and 3/4 hours, where the sign gives an estimate of two hrs, so I was extremely happy with that, and we thoroughly enjoyed the walk.

It's part of my training for my trip to Nepal later this year. 😊 😘 💚
(I have posted a video of the trek I am planning whilst there on my mission trip). ❤️

I had an xray, and I praise God that it's only a sprain and not a fracture. 👍I have already ditched the crutches around home, and will probably return them to Lakes Prime Care tomorrow.

My health overall is excellent and my fitness is going from strength to strength 💪 as well. I am so grateful, as I have worked hard to achieve this. ❤️ 🌳 😊

I am 🙏 praising God for His eternal goodness, and now I am hearing Him challenging me to rise higher than before, and fulfill the next stage of His calling for my life. Sometimes, like many of us, I just want to check out and relax, but my life is in His hands, and I made a commitment as a teenager to say YES to the call to missions!
Therefore "not now God" is simply not an option... 🙄 🤣 😘

I am blessed to be alive, and I am blessed with the abilities He has given me, so how dare I say anything other than Yes Lord. ❤️

It is exciting to contemplate the future, actually, and I am always inspired by the stories and sermons of those mighty men and women of God who have gone before, and whose lives, like mine, have been sold out to Him. 😊

God bless you all abundantly as you march through 2020 in your own lives, and much love to you all. 💖 😍 🌿🌹

THIS PRESENT MADNESS
(My life truly is a madness, in a good way now! 😜😉😊)

Today has been an amazing and special day - a truly God day.

First up it was great to be back in my church after a month of working, filling in for holidays. God was powerfully present, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit was tangible as soon as I walked in the door.
God totally overwhelmed me during the worship, and I couldn't stop crying - He was pouring out His Spirit, and showing me very clearly, His plans for my life in His call to international missions. It's not like I don't already know... 🙄 🤣, but this morning He was showing me afresh, and giving me visions of all the people in multiple nations 🌍 where He plans to send me, and showing me even more details than ever before. ❤️
I felt a deep passion for the millions of people who need His love and blessings in their lives.

My call to international missions was sealed into my heart in childhood - He burned Africa in through my many hours of reading Jungle Doctor books written by missionary doctor Paul White who was in Tanganyika (now Tanzania 🇹🇿) for many years, back in the mid 1900s. I would absolutely devour the many books that describe his incredible experiences there in a bush hospital. It fired up a passion for Africa that remains to this day.

Over many years God has given me more and more revelation of His calling for me, and He has gradually revealed more of the magnitude of His plans. Freaky!! 😅

At the School of Prophets Aotearoa last year He confirmed the full extent of what He has been showing me since the 1990s. It encompasses Africa, Asia and South America. Wowza! Sometimes I want to run away and hide because it feels overwhelming, but God always reminds me of His strength in me being perfect - I actually don't have to be doing it myself! I do know this, but I somehow still need reminding occasionally.

I started local mission work from the age of 15, and have been involved in many different ministries for many years now.

Then my first international mission trip was in 2015, to India 🇮🇳 with a team. It was a great experience, and God said to use elements of that experience to help me plan out my own personal journey with Him in my own Mission ministry.

Thus Kyna Ministries was birthed, and as many of you know, my first trip alone was to Kenya 🇰🇪 and Uganda 🇺🇬 last year, with the blessing of my local Pastor and Church family. It was a wonderful trip and I began living my dream. ❤️

Back to today - I was hanging out down town this afternoon, after church, just me and God, having some fun together.

I came upon a gentleman who has some serious mental health issues, and whom I nursed twenty years ago in the acute inpatient unit at our local hospital. He said that he is homeless at the moment, with his gear stored in a friend's flat, and that He was hungry - could I please spare a few dollars for him to buy some food.

I did not have any cash on me (I had left my wallet at home), but I had my card, so I offered to buy him a meal, where would he like to go.

Off we went to KFC where I bought him a $20 bucket meal with all the extras, plus requested two drinks of water - one each.

This guy loves Jesus, and as we sat down at the table, he offered to say grace, and he prayed a beautiful prayer of thanks plus so much more.

I ate one piece of chicken, and enjoyed my water.
Even more, I genuinely enjoyed hanging out with this guy, who was dirty, sunburned, loud, wearing extremely tattered clothes, and who still loves people, shows joy, and smiles a lot!

We were "doing church" in KFC! It was a very fun time for us both, and when we finally parted company my heart was full of joy and gratitude for the opportunity to bless this precious man. I in turn was very blessed by my encounter with him.

I am a crazy radical Jesus Girl, and I don't care who stares at us nor what they think - all I know is that Jesus was hanging out with us and we were all laughing and talking in complete peace and joy. ❤️

It takes so little to Stop For The One. That's all we have to do, to change the world - just stop for a moment, for the person God puts in front of us, who needs "God with skin on" 😉

When I was in Africa, I said to my Pastors that even if only one person turns up, I will still preach. I love the small gatherings, probably even more than the big churches. There's something very special about them, they're more personal somehow.

Next year I'm going to Nepal 🇳🇵, and God is so good, He's the kind of Daddy who loves to make some of our own dreams come true too. Since the 1990s I have dreamed of trekking in the Himalayas. Well my dream is about to become a reality - my Pastor friend in Nepal is also a registered trekking guide!! 🤗👌❄️🗻🌨️🌳🐒

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities that God gives me, and I look forward to the next steps with anticipation, joy, and just a little trepidation.

God bless you all abundantly, and may His love and blessings be upon your lives. May His grace go before you, and may there be sunshine ☀ at your backs and joy in your hearts. 😊 😘 💚 🌹 ☘️

Hello my dear friends!

My goodness how the time has been passing rapidly!! 😆

Many thanks for your kind support over the last couple of years, and God is GOOD!!

Many changes are now happening in this ministry God has given me, and I will be updating you on various aspects in the next little while.

At present my health remains great for the most part, and I am now able to work again!! 😆 Praise God!

I have two casual jobs - one as a care giver in Lara Lodge, a small private rest home caring for the elderly, which is beautiful ♥
My second job is as a reliever for teaching small children at a group of Early Childhood Education Centres. The company I work for owns four here in Rotorua, and they are great to work in.

Praise God for His goodness!

Glorious Gardening! Wendy 😄

Today I had a wonderful time with my amazing friend Jo.
We went garden shopping, as is our tradition through Spring and Summer 👌😄
Coffee and a traditional cheesecake at the Palmer's Garden Centre Café, followed by a delightful stroll around browsing through the seemingly infinite array of flowers and vegetables on offer.

Thankfully I already knew exactly what I needed - oh how we both want so much more!! 😜

I am incredibly happy to be alive and kicking - fit and healthy again, and I now have my little piece of Paradise back in order and rapidly regaining its beauty and usefulness. I am loving being fit enough to get in the garden, and all my muscles are toning up beautifully with all the hard work I have done already! It feels SO GOOD.

I am already enjoying fresh peas from the pods, plus strawberries and fresh herbs and other green vegetables. Yum!

I am regularly sowing seeds and then planting out the seedlings, as well as buying some seedlings on special. So much fun!!

I am going to continue blogging my life under this same title This Present Madness, because quite often life is a madness, in the best as well as worst possible ways, haha! Right now mine is a wonderful kind of madness and I am loving it like never before.
When one has stared death in the face and kicked its butt right out of the stratosphere, life looks truly amazing and feels miraculous. I am able to appreciate every single day now, even the less fun ones.
IT'S GREAT TO BE ALIVE!

I praise God for the crazy miracle that is my life.

Wendy 😊
Praise God, I am becoming more excited about this vision that God has given me!
He has provided the full amount that I need for airfares for my first trip. 👏😄🙌
Kenya and Uganda are the planned countries initially and more countries will follow in later visits.

Pastor Simon is my host, plus my leader, authority and covering for Kyna Ministries.
Good times ahead! My first visit is planned for July to September 2018, these are the dates God has given me.
By then my treatment for cancer will be completed, and I will have gained strength again. 😄🍀💗💗🙌🌸👣👏
