EDITOR’SWORD

It seems that everywhere we turn these days we are confronted with different messages of who we should be and how we should act. It wasn’t too long ago that I was flicking through a magazine as I sat in a waiting room and to be honest the things I read turned my stomach. I hated that the words written on those pages were sinking deep into someones soul, changing them and pulling them away from who they really are, trapping them in their lies and slowly changing their identity to one that is so far from who they were created to be.

This is just one example of the shouts of this world that’s drowning out the gentle call of God. So many are losing themselves to what this world wants them to be and are missing the most amazing journey and freedom that comes from an identity that is being built on what God says.

1 Thessalonians 5:5 “You’re sons of the Light, daughters of the Day. We live under wide open skies and know where we stand”

Let’s be just that, daughters of the Day, living a life that is being built and strengthened by the truth of what God sees and declares over us. Don’t lose yourself to the battle cries of the world, but find yourself in the calling of your Father.

WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN, NOTHING TO LOSE

AND NOTHING TO PROVE,THEN YOU ARE REALLY FREE„

-BILL PENNY

I want inner beauty but I want outward beauty too. All this inner beau-ty is grand and noble but I have not met a woman yet who has not loved being told she looks be-autiful. It seems like it‘s a inner beauty verses outer beauty debate.

All women want to be be-autiful from the inside to the out.

To define inner beauty is a challenge. If you were to say it‘s living out of an

upstanding character, ha-ving a clear set of values and a positive attitude, I‘d say you were right. If you were to say that it‘s sweet kindness, always hap-py, in-control, giving and pleased to do anything at any time then you would be right too. Outer beauty may be: fas-hionable, stylish, having perfect hair, nails, lipstick and the perfect size body at all times. It‘s safe to say that women want to be “on trend“ and perfectly so.

H ow often have we heard the saying it‘s more

important to have inner beauty then it is to have outer beauty. Excuse me while I sigh and roll my eyes - this is such a throw away line. I don‘t know about you , but this seems to be the said line to women as the “ultimate compliment“. At the same time it also seems soft, a little back handed as though we should not want outward beauty.

A BEAUTIFUL MESSWritten by Liz Findlay - All That Is Beautiful

tion, quick smart.We all know how transi-ent the world is on ever-ything from values, ideas, style - the lot. There is a part of us that will always want to keep up with the world when it‘s about be-auty. The problem is that the world‘s values and idea of beauty is always changing and I just can‘t keep up. I can‘t do it any more to the point where I don‘t even know what I should be doing...

Jesus spoke the most amazing words in John 14:6 “I am the way the truth and the life.“

These words are my in-tervention. No, they don‘t seem to relate to beauty and that‘s the point. They aren‘t about my beauty and they aren‘t about me at all. They are about Him - Jesus. His way, His truth and His life. Jesus spoke a lot about being found in Him. When we take our eyes off ourselves and the beauty pressure we feel, we enter into freedom.

This freedom goes stra-ight to our core and trans-forms us from the inside to the out, the real inner and outward makeover we need. With our focus on him we change. We breath out and have per-mission to be free just as we are, messy - messy be-autiful.

I am messy. Messy from the inside to the outsi-de. I am not perfect and I am going to make mis-takes. I don‘t come with a cape, I don‘t come with Photoshop either, none of us do, and I don‘t‘ want to. Trying to live up to the perfect ideal of in-ner and outward beauty is too hard, unattainable. Rather, I want to walk in His way - confidence and direction. I want to know His truth - what is actual-ly real. I want His life - a richness that shines. The beauty of His life flowing out - that‘s my definition of beauty.

But I‘m exhausted, that‘s right exhausted. Who can possibly live up to these lists a-l-l t-h-e t-i-m-e?

I have a problem you see. I am not always positive, happy, in-control, giving, sweet and kind - I even wear track pants. Yep. I can be grouchy, selfish, totally over it, all while stuffing my face with the whole block of chocolate (smudged on my chin no doubt). I‘m in ruffled pj‘s, with a sink full of dirty dishes that have been the-re for two nights. Standing in front of my wardrobe, completely bored with the same ole‘ same ole‘, out of trend dress because “pleather“ was so last sea-son. My hair will not stay smooth and curved, rather kinked and frizzy. And, I have not noticed that my daughter has smeared her breakfast on the back of the skirt I have finally chosen to wear. Ugggggg-gh help!

As a child growing up in southern Ethi-opia in a small village, Tigi remembers playing in the green fields, eating fresh foods and playing with toys and the other children. “Living in the country-side was a lot of fun for the children in

T igist who was raised in the West Shewa Ambo region of Ethiopia, has become a regular face around the coastal town

of Coffs Harbour along with her husband Marcus and their daughter Marlena. Their restaurant Mana Chita has bought east African cuisine to the forefront of this amazing town.

ted, it is in this basket that Tigi’s dreams are being realised “The nearest school for kids in Qorro-Harri is two and a half hours away. Most kids don’t get the chan-ce to attend school until they are 9 or 10 years old. Even then, a fast flowing river prevents them from attending during the wet season. A day learning center in Qor-ro –Harri will give local kids basic nume-racy and literacy skills so that they can keep up when they can attend formal schooling two and a half hours away.”

Over the year and a half that Mana Chi-ta has been operating Tigi has raised enough money through this basket to be-gin construction on the school in her vil-lage. “I will oversee everything from start to finish” Tigi says”We will start to build when we are living in Ethiopia in Sep-tember”

Through her faith, strength, dignity and belief in freedom she is determined to provide hope and education for many to come; and this school will accomplish that, it will bring a new generation of people through her village with early education schooling and a deeper sense of self worth.

Tigi has lived a life full of extraordinary moments, she has experienced good, bad and fearsome times. These moments have redirected Tigi to her true purposes, to influence for the good, the love and the future of others.

“When I was nearly fifteen I was arran-ged to be married to a man but I did not want to marry him so the night before my wedding I ran away. I put on pants and jackets as many as I could and I got my bible and 300 Birr from my father’s pants. It was crazy he had money becau-se it was not the season for the crops that gave us money. I ran and got on the bus to Harar where I decided I would only marry after I had an education and it was my choice. And I never in my life think I would marry.” She laughs as she looks lovingly at the pictures of her husband and daughter.

Tigi worked very long hours cooking at an orphanage and then left to work in cafes in the busy tourist area of Ethio-pia. It was here in Harar she met Marcus, an Australian anthropologist who was living in Ethiopia studying Hyenas and through perseverance they fell in love and were married. They moved to Aust-ralia and started a market stall of Ethio-pian cuisine which developed into Mana Chita.

Billy sees things differently to other people. His world is mainly black and white without a lot of ‘soft grey areas‘ He makes us laugh with his blunt ob-servations, has a very kind heart, and a true ‘autistic’ sense of justice (no com-promise).

Throughout the years I have kept a written diary of the funny quotes and observations that Billy has made as he has grown. Some are clever, some very funny and some are sad.

It is easy to view a loved one with a disability in a negative light. Sometimes it can seem like so much hard work and

not a lot of fun, but if we listen and take notice they can inspire and teach us in their own unique ways.

When our son was diagnosed with Au-tism at the age of 3, we knew very little about it. Soon we were caught up in a whole new world filled with Early In-tervention, Speech Therapy, Physiothe-rapy, the list goes on. We have learnt so much about unconditional

Billy sees things differently to other people. His world is mainly black

and white without a lot of ‘soft grey areas‘„

B illy is 12 years old now and we would not want him to be any other way than our special little Prince.

Here is one scenario I noted when Billy was 5 years old.

March 2008:Billy just came running in wearing his Superman suit (little undies on the out-side...cape flapping) He fist punched the air and yelled ‘I am going to save the world’He then looked over and noticed that I was plating up dinner so he added: ‘But first I’m going to eat my tea’

Billy had priorities! He had a goal and never lost sight of it (saving the world is a BIG goal), but first he needed to re-fuel and plan so he could tackle what was ahead.

Sometimes we need to prioritise.Important things need to be put at the top of our ‘to do’ list, and less important tasks should run lower down the list,

but more importantly we need to make sure we have the sustenance to see it through.

Time is precious, God reminds us to be careful with our time. It is important to keep a balance. Ecclesiastes 3 says ‘There is a time for everything. A time to laugh and a time to cry, a time to live and a time to die...’ it explains that ever-ything has a season.

I personally love to prioritise and get organised with a LIST! Woo-hoo! the-re is nothing better than crossing off completed tasks at the end of the day! If they are not completed, I write a new list and try again the next day. Its like pressing refresh on a computer.

Billy had the right idea- set the bar high, and make sure you are fuelled up, sustained and ready to take whatever challenge comes your way.

that comes with why me, why wasn‘t there justice. I don‘t let myself worry about that now because I have the very real memory that God has given me. I hold onto this because power and peace are the fruits that come from it.

J esus has freed me from many pains from my childhood; I was abused when I was a young girl and I thought I had dealt with it

through counselling but it wasn’t until I had my first child that bad memories haunted me. It would always be at night time when I was breastfeeding, these really vivid memories would come, and it was quite hurtful.

but there are things lurking in the dark, wai-

that they can come out and consume me. Deep

in the reserves of my heart is a closet that con-

that there was a God pursuing me, waiting for

the moment I would allow Him to clear my vi-

sion.

The instant I gave my life to Jesus, it was like

I had been sprinkled with magic pixie dust;

lies melted away and the monster was evicted

from my closet...WRONG!! Lets try that again.

God does not simply take up his trusty sledge

hammer and pound out the lies, because the

truth is, that monster will always be trying to

steal away the truth, it will always be waiting

for the opportunity to snuff out the light and

smother you in darkness so it can steal your

identity and warp it into something that stops

you from seeing that wonderful purpose that

God is calling you to. Instead God teaches us

what he sees, and directs us in the battle so we

can stand against the weapons of these mons-

ters. His words are life! Psalm 139:13&14 says

‚Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;

you formed me in my mothers womb. I thank

you, High God-you‘re breathtaking! Body and

soul, I am marvellously made! I worship in ado-

ration-what a creation!“

There is no more excuses, no more self lo-

athing, I was not a mistake because I was crea-

ted by God. I am deeply and completely loved.

I was made to be amazing because how can an

all good and perfect God create something that

does not hold significance and purpose? He

can‘t! I am made by Him and for Him, it is now

in my DNA to shine His light in this world in

whatever He has me doing! I am a daughter of

the King!

Nice try you slimy monster, but this light is

staying turned on.

can pour forth and allow them to become a

core part of our being. Proverbs 18:21 says „The

tongue can bring life and death“ The words we

speak and the words spoken over us have the

power to shape our lives, the power to raise so-

meone up or drag someone down, the power

to impart life and the power to destroy it. The

words of a lie can linger in the soul holding its

victim captive, immobilising and suffocating

them until they cannot move out of it‘s deadly

vice.

I fell victim to this monster. When I was 18 I

got my first serious job in a health food store,

packing foods and stocking shelves. As time

went on, I learnt to oversee the ordering for

my area and a few management skills. I wor-

ked hard and studied hard in the hope that one

day I would have the opportunity to consult

customers about all their herbal needs. One

day my chance arrived, but it very quickly

disappeared when the position was given to

someone else; in that moment my boss spo-

ke words over me that would haunt me for

the next 10 years of my life „You are a jack of

all trades, but a master of nothing“ These life

sucking words burst through my closet door

and took control.

From that moment on, I became a product of

that lie. It became my sob story, my defence,

my self loathing, my weakness and my excu-

se. Yep, this monster was thriving with all the

power I was feeding it! What a wretched way

to exist. I did not know the truth about who I

was created to be, so it was easy to allow this

lie to become a part of me. In my eyes, I was a

nobody, I would never amount to anything, I

could never do anything of significance. I was a

mistake. I did not know that these were lies, or

MEL PEARCEMINISTRY INTERVIEWMinistry to me is using the talents and gifts God has given you to further grow His kingdom, no matter how

small or seemingly insignificant.

Sisters.Ink: What are you most passionate about?Mel: Passing onto my kids a true relationship with God; I want them to flourish and live in the fullness that He has for them. I am passi-onate about seeing people grow and being all they can be in God.

M eet Mel, a woman of many roles! Wife , Mother, Grand-Mum and on top off all this, works 50hrs a week

in 2 jobs - a teachers aide in the hospitality department at a school and a chef. Sisters.Ink had the honour of interviewing Mel about her ministry, this is just a snippet of the many inspirational things she had to say.

them going through hard times or just making dumb decisions, I can be in the position to help.

At the retaurant; I have been working with a chef there for 14 years. He is pretty an-ti-church and anti-God because he worked with a guy who smashed the bible over his head just about every day. So he told me that earlier in the piece and that he didn‘t want anything to do with Christians. So for me to do the same thing is just foolish, but he‘s seen me go through a divorce and rough times with the kids, I‘m not fake with him and I‘m not trying to be the person that when your Christian, everything‘s perfect. So he‘ll ask me questions about God or church. That‘s pretty cool.

I see lots of different characters; sometimes as Christians we can be really judgemental; we‘ve got to correct people or we‘ve got to make sure they believe what we believe, but that‘s not the case. I look at how Jesus tre-ats people in the bible. He‘s really cool with people; he generally doesn‘t hit them over the head with all the things they are doing wrong, he just loves them where they are at. So I try to do that, sometimes it‘s just our job to pray.

Sisters.Ink: What is 1 piece of advice you would give to women about their minis-try?Mel: Celebrate your uniqueness; know who you are in God and work within that. Don‘t look at other people and think, if only I was like them; if only I could do that, then I would be better; but appreciate what God‘s given you now. Don‘t wait, you have everything you need with God in you; be available to the Holy Spirit and ask God to help you, you have it all. Use it.

Sisters.Ink: As a Mother, how do you mi-nister to your children?Mel: All of the kids are really different. As I grew with them, I would pray God destiny into them, not limiting them by how I think they should be and act, but letting them be free in who God has called them to be.

I gave them bible stories, prayed over them and all that foundational stuff to really get them solid. My role to them is an ongoing one of prayer. As they get older things change; you still have dramas like when they are little but they are adult issues that could have a huge effect on their lives. That‘s been a challenge, sometimes I think “Oh my goodness, why are they doing that? I so don‘t approve; Jesus, what are you doing to me?“ It‘s about me stretching and growing as well. To know when to reign them in and warn them, but being prepared for when they just do their own thing. Then to be there when things go wrong, not to be the Mum that says “I told you so!“ but to say “You know babe, God is a God of second chances“

Sisters.Ink: Tell us about your ministry wi-thin your work places?Mel: I have a really good relationship with the staff that are around me at school, often if people are stressed or something is getting them down, they will come and dump on me; that‘s good because I can listen and sometimes give advice. Just being available to them, being sensitive to where the Holy Spirit is leading and being sensitive to their needs, Are they just wanting me to listen? to help? to pray for them?

With the kids, I can be friends with them-because I am not their teacher or their disci-plinarian. When I sense or hear rumours of

hopeless at sport; in fact I could not see to catch a ball, so used to duck when a cold, hard leather basketball was hurled at me on a cold and frosty New Zealand morning. I was called ‘duck’ or ‘fatty four eyes’. Nice. I was always one of the last to be picked for any playground team, so felt a strong sense of rejection and overcompensated by being a show off in other ways to get attention. I always felt second best.

I didn’t need to be a show off or a good sports per-son to get chosen by the most significant ‘chooser’ in my life. I was chosen, even though I was insigni-ficant and flawed. I didn’t have to perform or over-compensate. I am still over-

altar by an unseen force, I knew my life was about to change dramatically.

Finding Jesus Christ as my Saviour was an extraor-dinary encounter. I felt brand new. I actually be-longed because I had been chosen. For the first time I felt special and that I did not have to earn approval or acceptance. I only have to look into God’s love let-ter to mankind to reali-se how significant I am as I live out my days as a Christ follower. Significan-ce and identity emerge as our previously flawed na-ture is renovated by a po-werful and mighty God. A new birth through his son Jesus reveals how signifi-

cant and special we all are. Jeremiah 17:11 says “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you...” Likewise Ephesians 2:4-5 states “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespas-ses, made us alive together with Christ” Constantly under re-construction, we grow in incremental steps. We are a work in progress, the workmanship of our creator.

We are chiselled, pummel-led, prompted and loved into our full identity. You are not second best. In fact you are his first best. If you

had been the only person on this planet that needed rescuing, God would have made the offer to you per-sonally “ just as He chose us in Him before the foun-dation of the world, that we would be holy and bla-meless before Him In love” Ephesians 1:4. Amazing. He was even thinking about us as he created our planet. Now that is love.

Live out your significan-ce from knowing who you are and whose you are. You are chosen.

a square face shaped like a box; a square face shape will appear as a square jaw line and a broad forehead to create a square look.If you do have a Square face shape (or a heavy square jaw line making you essentially square feel), you most probably don‘t like wearing heavy red lipstick or big wide earrings. Why? these heavy items only thicken the face and makes the square shape too wide.TIP: Wearing long thin dangly earrings will lengthen your face out and soft lip stick diminishes your lip width, therefore

the jaw line appears softer.

If you have a long thin face in an Oblong shape, you will really appreciate those heavy earrings as they will give the face some width as it draws attention to the earrings instead of the narrow shape of your face.

Once you determine what face shape you have, the decision for a hair style becomes a lot easier.

F irst thing to do is search for haircuts on people with the same face shape

as you. Look past the great styling in the magazine, like the youthful face, the lighting and the photography and try to imagine these people with all their hair back in their bathroom, just like you did.We are all guilty of being dazzled by beautiful women in the magazines, but the truth is „There are NO UGLY WOMEN, just lazy ones“

Every woman has their very own beauty; finding the right haircut and colour only enhances that beauty.

Once you have found a haircut that is modelled on a face shape similar to you, take a shot of it and visit your hairdresser with confidence!

BOOK REVIEWTHE SNOW CHILD

Author Eowyn LveyBased on the Russian Folk tale “Snegurochka”

“I guess maybe I don’t want to be warm and safe. I want to live”

We meet their neighbours George and the one of a kind, Esther. A true friend and the epitome of community, who help Jack and Mabel adjust to a new and vastly different life.

P ioneering the Alaskan Frontier in the 1920’s, a land of breathtaking beauty, challenging in its isolation, the harsh reality of living on the very

edge of civilization. This is the world Jack and Mabel enter into as they make a new life for themselves after the soul breaking tragedy of losing their only child.

24.

Written by Sharon PeterLover of all things tea & books.

Then there is the Snow Child. Is she fantasy born of deep longing, or flesh and blood. This is essenti-ally a story of a child of the wilderness who is taken into Jack and Mabels hearts without ever being able to call her their own. The Snow Child is elusive, mysterious, vulner-able yet strong. Who is she, where is she from?

A beautifully written novel that is infused with the mystery and majesty of the Alas-kan landscape in all its seasons with pine boughs, mountain herbs, woollen mit-tens, bitter winds and summer days. To feel the bitter cold, the si-lent beauty and the wonder of spring. The back breaking toil, the blanket of snow, the wearing isolation; all of these brought to life by vivid imagery.

The Characters are en-gaging and believable, except perhaps, pur-posely, the snow child. You share their strug-gles, joy, grief, love, ad-venture and friends-hip, all of which are woven into this novel.

Highly recommended 4/5 stars.

Dear Perle,I have a male friend who insists on gree-ting me with a big wet kiss on the cheek. He is a lovely man, but he has really bad breath and it grosses me out! What can I do without hurting his feelings?Signed: Running for the hills

Dear Running for the hills, You have a few options my dear:

1. Implement the ‘Accidental head-butt’, sort of duck and weave, then come up under his chin with your forehead.

2. There is the ‘sensory overload’ option. Just pop 2-3 cloves of garlic into your mouth and crunch as you see him approach. Greet him face on with a huge sigh and a ‘Daaaaar-ling...it’s so lovely to see you again’.

3. My favourite option; tell him straight out that the only man that kisses you is your husband. Follow up with a warm smile and say ‘But I do love handshakes’

Dear PerleMy hubby is driving me nuts. He removes his shoes when he gets home and then le-aves his dirty socks under the dining tab-le. He rolls them off as we eat dinner and I sound like a broken record when I nag him to put them away! He seems deaf to my pleas...Signed: The Shrew.

Dear Shrew,Yes. He does sound a little deaf, but there are a few other senses that you can use to get your message across.

Taste.Simply place the offending socks onto his din-ner plate with his steak and vegetables; coat them in gravy and serve hot.

Smell.(Can be prepared in advance)Defrost the prawn heads that you have in the freezer from Christmas, and place into his so-cks. Now place offending socks back under his chair, sit back and wait.

Sight.Set an extra place at the dinner table and place your laundry basket in the spare seat. When your husband asks why you are talking to the laundry basket, reply ‘Oh, I wasn‘t sure if you two had ever met. I just wanted an opportunity to introduce you both’
