This website is still being constructed and is being set up for anyone with questions about life, faith, the Bible, healing, wholeness, becoming complete and much more.
It's for anyone who knows deep down there is 'more to life' than they are experiencing at the moment, and for those who feel increasingly overwhelmed by the changes and challenges in today's world.
And it's for those who feel they have not yet reached their full potential or are struggling to know what their purpose in life really is.
Everyone is welcome here. Although the site has a Christian foundation, you will not be 'preached at' here. If you need advice and do not wish to discuss faith, then that is perfectly ok. I decided to have a 'faith input' as well because not only do I know it is the best path in life, I have also been asked on several occasions to build a website like this. The fact that I am a Christian does not make me unable to be practical.
Please take a little time to have a look round the site. It is a new and emerging site with lots to create so any comments or suggestions you may have will be most welcome.
Please note, any help or advice I am able to give you is absolutely free!
If you have any questions or need advice about something just use the Contact page and I'll get back to you.
Please sign the Guestbook while you're here.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN
|
| |
Well, just like the world itself, this did not get launched with a big bang!
It hs been many years since the seed for this project was sown.
I was very young when I realised I really wanted to help people, and becoming a Christian was a vital part of the whole thing. Over the last 25 years or so I have been involved in various Christian ministries: teaching the Word of God, leading women's meetings, being involved in prayer initiatives and also working as a Community Worker with a long-established Church denomination.
I am a qualified Youth Offending Mentor.
I was also a tutor for Adult Basic Education in Shetland where I taught English to adult students, Life & Social skills to adults with learning difficulties and also English language to foreign students.
During this time I also received training in Brief Therapy Practise, a brief and effective method of counselling. I then went on to teach employment skills to mainstream and non-mainstream students. I enjoy writing teaching material and always put in a measure of humour and personal experience. Being a Christian is far from being a miserable existence! Yes, we all have trials, but with the Lord in your life there are also many triumphs!
I would be delighted to receive some of your personal experiences where you knew God was with you so it could perhaps be shown on a special page for sharing with others.
But please drop me a line anyway and let me know you've passed by.
Although I am starting this off in a very small way, I would like to see the Lord work in many people's lives through this ministry. Small acorns.......yes Lord!

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Have you noticed how time is passing really quickly. Babies are in designer clothes before they can say 'Beckham shirt' and I've noticed some toddlers dictating to their parents which set of clothes they WANT to wear that day!
Bosses easily 'dispose' of staff, even when those staff have been extremely loyal.
Carers seem to get less help with their loved ones and young people are not coping with the world thay have grown into.
I know that if you're reading this, you yourself will have some worries, some burdens to bear, maybe financial difficulties or some trouble in your family.
I'd like to encourage you to 'Take Ten'. I've found so often that even taking just ten minutes out of my time to sit quietly and think on God's love and strength, I am able to re-focus my anxious thoughts and realise that I am not alone in my troubles. In your busy schedule, try to 'Take Ten', and, if you can, do that in the morning, afternoon and evening.
In those ten minutes try to find a comfy place with no distractions. You could begin your quiet time by saying this short prayer.
"God, I'm not very good at this but I thank you for helping me get this time to myself, with you. You know my days, my weeks, my life. Nothing is hidden from you. While I sit here in quiet before you, please stretch down and strengthen me so I can get up feeling I am better equipped to do all that is expected of me. In Jesus name. Amen"
Now sit in the presence of the Lord and be strengthened in your mind, body and spirit.
Please note that all articles, prayers and teaching on this website are the work of myself, Kate Ali. Bible verses will be noted as such and any testimonies will only be used with permission.
If people wish their name to be kept unknown that too will be respected.
