Just giving you a heads up.
Just giving you a heads up.
Hey there Faithplaces Followers,
Just giving you the heads up that I wonât be renewing the Faithplaces.blog domain when it expires in December 2020. Frankly, there are plenty of much easier social media tools available to capture my warbling rants and half-hearted attempts at art. Youâll still be able to find me on Instagram @annaharris888
Thanks for all the visits.
xoxo
Anna.

Poem: When School is over
When school is over I will celebrate. I will run like a Jack Russell Terrier who managed to squeeze her tiny body backwards out of her harness.
I will bolt across that dog park Not even the big dogs will catch me.
When school is over I will party. I will drink more wine than I should. I will dance like Gaga mask on, hips off Lips on, shoes off. Nataliah might even get the girls out. Iâll definitelyâŠ

Praise - a determined act.
Praise â a determined act.
Itâs when times are difficult that praise becomes difficult too. Those words of thanksgiving donât just flow off the tongue. When life is difficult and covid is knocking on your door, breathe deep and make a determined decision to praise your God. Then the Holy Spirit, the helper, comforter and friend will surround you.
Make a declaration of the goodness of God. If you need a little help, tryâŠ

How could I possibly relate? Wow.
I pray for those struggling to breathe
As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. â Psalm 71:14
My prayer today is for the people struggling to breathe, whether itâs due to the Corona virus, Rhinovirus, or the pain and pressure of anxiety and panic attacks, I pray that the Spirit of God will be the breath in your lungs today.
Praise is the key, praise unlocks the healing and blessings of God. I amâŠ

A donkey is content when eating grass, and a cow is quiet when eating hay. 6 But who can eat flat, unsalted food? What taste is there in the white of an egg? 7 I have no appetite for food like that, and everything I eat makes me sick.

Oriental lily and wattle blossoms
One upon a time, in a life before my son was born, I worked as a florist. It was a wonderful creative, technical and personal role that challenged me.
Fast forward to 2020, I am working in Early Childhood Education. I am working as a Kindy Teacher, studying the final year of my degree. I miss floristry deeply. All the petals, sepals and pollen counts of aâŠ

Lily of the Valley
A simple sketch of a flower, the Lily of the Valley, that appears in the Bible in several places including Solomon 2:1-2.
Popular with Royal Brides, these dainty little flowers remind me of orchids growing in a line along their stem.

The image is both sketched and painted using Intense pencils in my art journal. Iâm a multi-media artist at heart. ItâsâŠ

Rest - sometimes you just have to sit.
Rest â sometimes you just have to sit.
Today I sat down on my back deck and listened to worship music. I began to draw and write the words of the song I was hearing,⊠But God took me back to my childhood when I memorised verses from the Bible. It came back to me as âThe peace which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christâ.
I learnt that verse in primary school, 35 years ago. The word of God learnerâŠ

Peace â this is where the war ends.
Peace is elusive today. Iâm going to get help. Possibly medication. Sometimes sitting quietly and breathing deeply, doing mindfulness stuff is not enough. Sometimes, like when I went through IVF and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, faith is trusting Doctors to help you through.

Gentleness.
2 Samuel 22:36
This blew my mind. How often do you hear anyone talk about the gentleness of God? Itâs not a popular topic for preachers at the moment, but itâs an aspect of God that I just can not get enough of.
In some Bible versions it says mercy, in others it says He stoops down towards me. This is MYGod, the one who is gentle like the setting sun. The one who steps down from His throne to beâŠ

This message is shared on one of those Church signs. You know, the ones that have some witty little saying about God for you to think about on your way to work.
So I drove past it, and it brought a tear to my eye. Lately, as a woman with PCOS, I have been struggling, really deeply struggling, to see myself as a woman. In fact, I see myself closer to the I+ of the gender spectrum these days. MyâŠ

The Posture of Prayer
The Posture of Prayer
Prayer can be considered just talking to God, the ongoing duologue between Deity and subject or lovers or father and child. Somewhere along the journey, though, prayer becomes more than that. It is a powerful weapon of declaration, a daily practice of opening your heart fully, of intimacy and solace.
Each one of these moments represents a different posture. When I survey the wonderous cross, allâŠ

so Iâve always sort of liked the idea that within the communion of saints there the Heavy Hitters, the Career Saints who are invoked widely and in situations of grave needâIâm talking your Catherines and Francises and Theresas, the Twelve Disciples and Michael; the Big Time Major League saints who intercede on behalf of so many, and so are always in conversation with the divine, case managers for the sick and dying and hurting and faithful of the world.
but that also means that thereâs a bunch of saints hanging around who are justâminor holy women, lesser martyrs, incidental virgins, doctors of the church who never managed to find a publisher. Theyâre not prayed to very often, and rarely called on to manage the difficult cases; they have a lot of free time.
so what do you do, if youâre a saint with some free time on your hands? You answer all the not-quite-prayers, the âjesus, donât turn red donât turn redâ muttered by cab drivers and the âchrist, can you just try it to see this from my point of view?â spat out by a furious girlfriend and all the âoh god please let me make this meeting in timeâ âplease donât let me failâ âIâm so tired I hope I can get homeâ
or maybe I just like the idea that every time you mutter âgod, let me be okayâ thereâs some girl killed in 9th century for refusing to marry who falls into step beside youâand though no book or chronicle or living person remembers her name, she squints up at you and says with holy authority, âyeah, youâre going to be fine.â
#if I were an unappreciated saint thatâs what I would do#give taxi drivers a little nudge so they could stay awake until itâs time to clock out#watch jeopardy with nursing home residents and groan when they donât get the answer#none of those things are breaking the rules of the cosmos#youâre justâŠ.there#which makes the difference#I donât know I like thinking about the communion of saints
Christ, I love this thought.
Celebrating International Womenâs Day 2018 Today I had the pleasure of celebrating International Women's Day with a group of creative women at Craftwise, a group that meets on Thursdays at Lifepointe Baptist Church, Maroochydore.
Shhh Barnaby! When a media report emerged yesterday that the paternity of Barnaby Joyce and Vicki Campion's lovechild was a grey area, I wanted to throw a brick at the TV.
