Still cannot believe it’s real, even though he really is here lol.

Pics are on Flickr, I think he is perfect but I’m biased I know ;)

I’m doing well, gaining strength each day and will be home I reckon on Monday.

I am at an awesome country hospital with a great team of staff, have been blessed beyond measure!

I know, some of you will be lol’ing because I was adamant I was never having a baby, I blame Steve! Hehe. Am over the moon about my new lil guy.

Let the adventures begin!!

Claire Murray, 25, died just before 12:00pm (AWST) from complications following a “live liver” transplant two weeks ago, where part of her aunt’s liver was used.

The transplant went well but in the past few days Ms Murray developed blood clots in her heart.

Last month health authorities in Perth rejected Ms Murray’s request for a second liver transplant after an earlier taxpayer-funded transplant failed due to her heroin addiction. (Full Story)

Many people had some negative things to say about her situation. Personally I am so sad she has passed away. We’ve all made mistakes, myself many and I still keep making them.

Who are we to judge her??

I am so thankful, at this time of year it’s ironic, Jesus died for the forgiveness of our sins and I am so glad though I’m not perfect that He has forgiven me for all I’ve done and will do. I know to a lot of you reading this that will sound awfully dorky, but when you understand the enormity of that, it’s just massive.

I feel for her family and friends and pray their hearts will be open to Gods love and healing in their time of loss.

RIP Claire.

He came to our church in Whittlesea this weekend and really challenged the socks off our church family, from the mens, ladies and youth groups to the congregation as a whole during the morning and evening services.

I’m going to get a copy and post it online it’s just so inspiring.

Basically his challenge was to ask yourself where your fingerprints were in the world? His thought was that we have individual fingerprints because one day Jesus is going to ask us to show where our fingerprints are in the world, in the lives of the orphans, widows, the sick and the broken.

It’s a huge challenge to forget yourself and live for others, but oh how great the reward.

Our Pastor said recently during a conversation we had about the bushfires and all the challenges we faced as a church to minister to our hurting community, what else would you want to be doing?

Truly, living an inwards looking life at what you have or don’t have, or growing and connecting with people around and really leaving a positive fingerprint in someones life.

I love George for challenging our church, they were so shocked from his message noone clapped even!!! Ha ha!!

I sincerely hoped though that some went away and took up the challenge to serve others and leave fingerprints where they matter most.

It’s funny people say they look for God, but really He isn’t hard to find, you only need go where the orphans, widows, sick and hurting are. It’s there you’ll not only find God, but find your true self.

It is a reminder to me that he certainly does work for my greater good and though the times being stretched are as uncomfortable as all heck, the time of triumph is reward enough to make up.

I am enjoying all the connections I’ve been making with people from the past as well as new ones who’ve arrived on the doorstep out if the blue.

Life is beautiful.

I think you can see that my definition of success in business has nothing to do with profits solely for their own sake. This is very important. Success for me is whether you have created something that you can be really proud of. Profits are necessary to invest in the next project – and pay the bills, repay investors and reward all the hard work – but that’s all.

Nobody should be remembered for how much money they have made in life. Whether you die with a billion dollars in your bank account or $20 under your pillow is actually not that interesting. That’s not what you’ve achieved in life. What matters is whether you’ve created something special – and whether you’ve made a real difference to other people’s lives. Entrepreneurs, scientists and artists who died as paupers are often the heroes.

Successful people aren’t in possession of secrets known only to themselves. Don’t obsess over people who appear to you to be ‘winners’, but listen instead to the wisdom of people who’ve led enriching lives – people, for instance, who’ve found time for friends and family. Be generous in your interpretation of what success looks like.

In business, as in life, all that matters is that you do something positive. Thanks for reading – and enjoy your life. You only get one.
