Hey, hi there, I'm Laura. I live in Newcastle with my husband Brendan. I am a early childhood teacher, and I love working with young children. Its such a blessing to be a part of these little people's lives each day!! I have such a passion for young children and also for youth to know Christ and how much He can do through them. He really can make your life AWESOME!Music is such a passion of mine. I play the trumpet, and love ska, punk, jazz, blues and hip-hop music. I used to play in a ska/punk band called Just Like Josiah. You should definately check them out - www.myspace.com/justlikejosiahI also love sport of all kinds. You name it, I'll give it a red hot go! I love soccer and rugby union especially, having played both. I'll take any oppotunity to watch or play a game. There's nothing better than that! (well, except for GOD)When God approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand.Proverbs 16:7 TMYou can't please everybody all the time. And it's a big mistake to try. Your constant need for approval can end up costing you God's best. When you're doing anything worthwhile, expect opposition from those who aren't privy to God's plan for your life. That goes with the turf. Notice, Jesus "made himself of no reputation" (Philippians 2:7). He wasn't always well thought of by others, but He knew He had God's approval - and that's what mattered to Him!In Proverbs 21:1, Solomon says that just like changing the direction of a moving river, God can change hearts and give you favour with those who'd otherwise reject you. He also said, "When God approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand." Does that mean you won't encounter opposition or people who disagree with you? No, but when you do, just concentrate on pleasing God and let Him deal with the fallout.Remember, God takes up where you leave off. When you've exhausted all your efforts He can step in and open doors with the right people at just the right time. The truth is, He can get you a better job than you could get on your own, and give you blessings that, humanly speaking, you don't deserve or qualify for. Just like the Holy Spirit enabled Jesus to fulfill His life's mission (Luke 4:18-19), God will call, equip and enable you to fulfill His plan for your life. So stop trying so hard to make things happen on your terms, and begin praying for God's favour!
