Say Thank You

I watched a video yesterday which I found very helpful. The topic was how to deal with things that disturb the peace in your life. The peace that passes understanding and that I wrote about last month when I was suffering through renovations. Before I get to my point let me recheck my words- 'suffering through renovations....' …

Truly Awesome

Those who stand in awe of the Eternal - who follow wherever He leads, committed in their hearts - experience His blessings! Psalm 128:1 Awesome is a word thrown around a lot today. I admit to having used it myself this morning when I spoke with my mum about something that had happened. But was …

Fountains

The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life,     but words spoken by the wicked cover up violent schemes. Proverbs 10:11 A spring of life.... hmmmmm. A life-giving fountain. Can I say honestly that my words give life? Can I say that my words give blessing? I have not kept Your righteousness to myself, …

YOLO

You Only Live Once. Maybe you've heard that phrase. I'd be amazed if you haven't, it was everywhere. It was used as an excuse for every foolish, brave, amazing or ridiculous thing people did. The idea isn't new if you check wiki there've been other sayings with a similar theme. Basically, to me, it can …

Enough

Coming to the end of Deuteronomy now and chapter 33 is just gorgeous describing the blessings on each of the tribes of Israel. Moses begins by trying to capture the glory of God appearing over and among the Israelites in verses 2 and 3. I've just spent a long time with verse 2 in various …

Forever

Let My Little Light Shine

My job is not to be a lighthouse. Well, I hear you say, that's an interesting way to start... why would you say that? Because I sometimes think it is, or act like I think it is. A lighthouse swishes it's light round and round. Sometimes it is light and sometimes it is dark. Now …

Happy New Year

Well, I have friends already in next year, I have friends who will be getting there in a few hours whilst I have 14 hours of this year ahead of me. It's a crazy time of year; it's a time of anticipatory tingling because we all have the conviction, the sneaking suspicion or hope that …

Not Just the Reason for the Season

I was watching a flash mob video last night. It was the song from The Sound of Music - Do-Re-Mi and they were dancing in Antwerp station. Here's the link.  I love the song, love the musical and watching all these people dance and then the faces of the crowd jigging to the music just …

Blessing

1 Before time itself was measured, the Voice was speaking.     The Voice was and is God. 2 This celestial Word remained ever-present with the Creator; 3     His speech shaped the entire cosmos. Immersed in the practice of creating,     all things that exist were birthed in Him. 4 His breath filled all things     with a living, breathing light— 5 A light …
