Here's a throwback to last Thursday night where I had the privilege of attending a dear friend's graduation from bible college! She is faithfully serving others at her local church and her faith and passion are such an inspiration to me.
Congratulations my dear friend, you know who you are! Keep being a blessing! ☺️
I don't know what 2022 has been like for you, but if it's been anything like my start to the year, I'm sure it's been a whirlwind! Changes in life are often a good thing which brings in new beginnings, routines and people into our lives but gosh it can be exhausting too!
What a great reminder it was today to just 'rest' on my first official day off this year, and allow myself to do so. It's definitely a work in progress but I'm slowly learning to do my best and let God do the rest...in every part of my life.
❤️ V A L E N T I N E ' S. D A Y ❤️
Happy belated valentine's day to all my flower loving friends!!!

"God in his sovereignty extends grace to us before we can even contemplate its possibility or worth. Eternally, grace is unearned and undeserved."

We love because He loved us first!! Not only when we feel like it but we are to model biblical love after our Heavenly Father! I love the way Jen Wilkin describes this in her book 'In His Image':
"Unless we love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, we will love ourselves and our neighbours inadequately. Right love of God is what enables right love of self and others.
When we devote heart, soul, mind and strength, to loving him, we perceive ourselves rightly — no room for pride or self-exaltation — which prepares us to love our neighbours freely. Rightly perceiving ourselves to be unworthy recipients of the agape love of God, we become willing to love our neighbour in spite of himself because God first loved us in spite of ourselves. We do not wait to feel love, rather we will ourselves to act in love whether we feel it or not. Agape (love) transcends our feelings."
First ever wedding bridal bouquet... DONE! 😍😍😍
Super proud of this wildflower arrangement which the bride and groom were stoked about! More wedding flower photo spam to come!
Heyy everyone!!! :D
My name is Helen , and I thought I'd share my heart behind creating Blessings by the Bunch.
Well I've always had a heart for mission and the idea of using the creativity and gifts that God has given me, to help bless others really was a light bulb moment. To be honest I'd thought that I'd be overseas serving using my health professions by now, but God is always in control of changing and directing our steps...and in control of the current pandemic situation too. 💕
I told a few dear friends about a passing thought of intertwining my new found love for floristry and heart for missions...and was overwhelmed by the encouragement, love and support I received with them "totally being able to see me do that". And I feel so passionate about where the proceeds will go! So there we have it!
Recently I've been challenged to step out in faith and use the gifts, talents & creativity God has given me to bless others. I wanna help others to gift affordable flowers to their loved ones. But more so, I want people to be part of the blessing movement, and to know that they are giving to a greater cause. There are so many organisations showing God's love to people overseas, and that is WHY I want you to know that when you support , a significant portion of your money will be donated to bless others.
My hope is that this side hustle will be one that glorifies God above all else. All proceeds will be donated to support the amazing work of International China Concern and Bloom Asia, two organisations that are so close to my heart.
Buy a bunch, be a blessing, it really is that simple.
Thanks for your support and love!!! ❤️

Fun fact: Did you know it takes 7 years with a lot of love and care to grow an orchid before its first flower blooms? And every seedling is different which is why the growers never know what the orchid will look like until it blooms! Isn't God's creation just magnificent?
Hands up if you're a fan of orchids too! 🙋♀️

Super proud to be the owner of my first indoor plant!! Had a wonderful time learning about all things to do with growing and caring for plants today at our floristry excursion with 😊

So today marked the end of a 12-week Ministry 2 Women (M2W) course held at Queensland Theological College that I've been privileged to attend every Friday morning for the past few months. I've been super encouraged, deeply challenged and blessed by the women I've met from various churches around Brisbane, sharing honestly in our joys and struggles, and how God uses 'women in need of change, to serve others'. We've wrestled with what it means to love others the way that God loves them and to support others in their grief and suffering. We've discussed the power of prayer, forgiveness and evangelism and what it means to live out the gospel daily.
I'm forever thankful for the wonderful sisters in Christ in my life who are so willing to support, encourage and rebuke me for the sake of the gospel, and to help lift my eyes off myself and up towards Christ.
May we all be reminded of the need to do life with others, being vulnerable with those we trust with our faith struggles and most importantly, continuing to ask God that he will work in us and through us for all the days of our lives!!

Really resonated with this devotion about God meeting us in our " I don't know seasons" and all the uncertainties that life brings. Hope you also enjoy reading this devotion this morning! 🥰
*********
"I feel the most unsettled when I’m uncertain about the future.
Many of you are also probably facing circumstances that have left you feeling caught off guard and unsure about what tomorrow holds. So many times I find myself bracing for impact when I check my daily news feed. If there’s one word that seems most certain to describe the times we are living in, it’s “uncertain.”
There are thousands of scenarios that evoke these feelings of uncertainty, fear and exhaustion from life not being like you thought it would be.
Whatever your situation, you probably feel like you can’t change it, but you still have to live through the realities of what’s happening right now. Sometimes you just have to walk in your “I don’t know.” The Lord makes it clear in His Word that things will not always go as we wish they would in this life. The crucial detail for us to have peace in the middle of everything we face is to stay close to the Lord. We think we want comfort in the “I don’t know” times of life. But comfort isn’t a solution to seek; rather, it’s a byproduct we’ll reap when we stay close to the Lord.
I wish I could promise you that everything’s going to turn out like you’re hoping it will. I can’t, of course. But what I can promise you is this: God is close to us even in our “I don’t knows.” God has lessons for us that are crucially important for our future, and we’re learning them in the middle of our “I don’t knows.” God has a strength He must prepare us with, and the training ground is here in the “I don’t know.”
This time isn’t a waste, and it’s definitely not pointless when we are walking with God. Let’s cry out to God, declaring that this hard time will be a holy time, a close-to-God time. And let’s choose to believe there is good happening, even in these places. We can rest in the knowledge that wherever God is, good is being worked.
-Lysa TerKeurst
What difficult “I don’t know” season are you walking through today?

It's been a while since I've shown my face on here so I'd like to extend a warm welcome to my new insta followers!
I always look forward to Tuesday evenings spent after a big work day (or week!) for some much needed 'me time' and just getting those creative juices going! It's definitely been a nice change from work taking over my life in the past few years!
Just a reminder to remember how important it is to set aside time to do the things you love to do and prioritise it in your week, no matter how crazy or busy it looks! And if ya think I don't understand, I absolutely do! About to start juggling 3 different roles/jobs starting this week so I totally get it if life seems hectic, but you have my word that it's totally worth it!! 😊
What do you like to set aside time to do? I'd love to hear about it! Share in the comments below!
