Assume
Kate said Assume. Go. Last Sunday, the message in church was based on John 6:1-13. The story of the miracle where Jesus fed five thousand with a boy's lunch. Today's writing prompt brought verse 9 to my mind, 'Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,...
He knows where I’m going
I got off the call reeling and in shock from the news I'd just been given. A number of different feelings coursed through me, leaving me overwhelmed and bewildered. On a day that had started super early thanks to poor sleep and the overactive mind that comes with the...
Become
The bible tells us that once you've accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, our old ways of life have passed away and we have become new. 2 Cor 5:17 (NKJV) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all...
Never
A quick Google search reveals "Never" to mean - at no time in the past or future; not ever; not at all When that word is used, the listener understands that the 'thing' in question is impossible. That it would not happen, no matter what. But how many times have you...
The Miraculousness of the Ordinary
In the midst of your chaos Embedded in your regular rhythms Hidden in the mundane The commonplace and routine Lies the astonishing.This is the disguise of the Divine. In the turbulence of the raging storm Or the gentle lull of still waters When the excitement fades...
Winter Rest
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven”(Ecclesiastes 3:1, ESV). In 2020, as the world stood gripped in the throes of a pandemic, words poured out of me in prose and verse. Some days I couldn’t sleep for the imagery that danced...
From God
"I have good news and bad news". My heart sank even as I tried not to imagine the worst. The phrase "bad news" is not really what you want to hear from your mortgage broker when you're in the process of trying to secure a house. "The good news is that the finance...
Choosing Joy
The doctors said that full recovery would likely take six to 12 months and from that point onward, I counted off the days with eagerness. When nothing seemed to change by the 6-month mark, I comforted myself by looking forward to the 12-month mark. The timing seemed...
God: At Work
Today we pick up where we left off in over a month ago in God: Limitless and Beyond and continue with the father and son that we met at a key turning point in their lives... It had been an incredibly long day under the blazing sun - one could say perhaps the worst day...
All of Him Loves All of You
Kate said Fix. Go “What is man, that You should exalt him, That You should set Your heart on him..."(Job 7:17 NKJV) "What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?"(Psalms 8:4 NKJV) This question was uttered by different people for...
Hope As We Wait for Dawn
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoicesFor yonder breaks a new and glorious morn The above is a line from the timeless 'O Holy Night', my favourite Christmas carol. I've always found that those particular lyrics have a way of buoying up deflated hope especially as...
God: Limitless and Beyond
Permit me liberal use of poetic licence today, as I imagine just one of the conversations that may have taken place on that day, some 4000 years or so ago..."Pa! Pa! We're saved! The oppression of our people will finally be at an end!", the teenaged boy said in a...
