Our Lady of the Southern Cross

I am mother of two and my husband and I are going through a bit of a rough period in our marriage. It started last year when I felt like I wanted more from my faith, hoping for help and answers. At first I was angry at God for not being there and expecting more from God. Through everything and all the arguments and fights I asked myself, where is God? why is he absent? So I went back to church at Our Lady Of the Southern Cross, Parish Springfield, Qld and I put my name down for the next group to go through the Alpha course.

Since doing Alpha, going on a beautiful weekend away and afterwards feeling very relaxed and inspired. I have learnt so much, I feel my understanding of God and now having a better relationship with God through my prayers and everyday life, will help my marriage, also being a mum and wanting to be a stronger, kinder and patient woman.

I feel through Alpha I have meet some courageous, human beings that have had many triumphs to be here in Australia today and to know their stories I will be forever blessed. At first on my journey this year it wasn’t a very easy road, I had doubts, plenty of temptations, feeling discouraged, disappoints which made me feel disheartened, not understanding how and what God wants me to do with the gits I received from the Holy Spirit, such as: Wisdom, knowledge, prophecy, speaking in tongues. But I am persevering in this race, Alpha has taught me to be the woman I want and have to be. I know I’m not alone in this life. I have a purpose and God knows my purpose and each day with confidence I wake knowing that.
