Remembering God
This week I want to reflect on another encouraging psalm. Sometimes in the midst of the world we live in we need to remember that God is good, God is with us and God never leaves us. We also need to remind ourselves that God is not surprised by what is happening around us. Read on to find out more.
This day
This day is a phrase that we sometimes use for today but it actually has an unlimited time meaning. It is actually a phrase that when put in a sentence calls out for conviction. This day I choose and it is a forever choice. The cry is ringing out- who or what will you choose. It is time to stand and not waver. Read on to find out more.
Live in the moment
Too many of us are looking at the world around us and wondering what the future holds. It may even scare or trouble us. But Jesus said to give our attention to what is happening right now. In other words, live in the moment. Read on to find out how.
The wall and the window
Many of us have put up walls around our lives to protect us from the world around us, people and getting hurt. This means we live a life full of fear and not in freedom. What if God wants you to have a wall around you- one that He builds and is for your good? Read on to find out more.
The right hand
Most of us in our Christianese say that Jesus is with me or He lives in my heart. But Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us to be our teacher, guide, protector and more. So what is Jesus’ role? He is our advocate with the Father. Read on to find out what this means and where He is?
A psalm of encouragement
Psalm 121 is a psalm of encouragement for all of us today. In the world we live in, we can look around and lose hope. This blog is to reignite courage within you as you realise that God is your strength and defender and is always with you. Read on to find out more.
The eternal perspective
When you look around at the world we live in, you may see doom and gloom. But is that how God wants us to live. Not at all! God doesn’t want us focussed on the world but He wants us to lift our eyes up and have an eternal perspective. Read on to find out more.
The tapestry of life
This week for me has had a few ouch moments. Those moments where God is putting the next stitch into the tapestry of my life. I can’t see what He is doing but those moments have caused me to wonder what is going on. If you have ever felt like that, read on to find out why.
This time
Going to the same place over and over for a holiday can feel boring. But what if you just have seen all the popular attractions and haven’t explored deeper. What if there is something hidden to be uncovered? This is the same in our Christian walk. Christian disciplines can become familiar but it is this time for us to learn to go deeper. Read on to find out more.
The final time
There is a final time coming when we won’t be able to say yes to Jesus anymore. I don’t say this to scare you but to make you aware. Jesus is real. Jesus really died and rose again. Jesus really loves you. Read on to find out more.
The great revealer
Looking at my kitchen benches under the fluorescent light shows me they are clean but when the sunlight shines on them in the morning, specks are revealed. This is the same as us- when we allow a dim light to shine on our hearts, nothing much will show up. But a brighter light will reveal much more. It is time to allow the Word of God to shine on those places we have hidden. Read on to find out more.
Son shine
Jesus is called the sun of righteousness in Malachi in the Bible. So what does the natural sun teach us about the Son of God, Jesus? Are there similarities? I believe there are and they will help us in our Christian walk. Read on to find out more.
Friendship
Most of us want to have friends and be a good friend. But what does the Bible say about friendship. Does it even talk about them? Yes and there is a beautiful example of friendship in the Bible. Read on to find the characteristics of a friend and the example of that amazing friendship.
Who you are and what you do
Identity and actions- we put them together and judge a person more often than we should. We criticise their actions but make it about identity. There are two groups that are affected by our identity and actions- one is yourself. The other is… read on to find out more.
Your personal walk
Have you ever looked at your personal walk with God and started comparing it to others? Maybe you heard a message and the person said they pray for an hour each day? You may feel condemned like you don’t measure up. But I want to remind you, you are unique and have a unique relationship with God and a unique walk with Him. Read on to find out what you should be including and why uniqueness matters.
When the battle is fierce
This year for me has been one of battle after battle. I believe they are battles for the generations and to break off things from our past that are hindering us or our family from moving forward. If you feel battle weary or may in the future, read on to find out more.
Zoning out or resting
Have you ever found yourself at night zoning out doing something? It could be watching TV, scrolling on your phone or just mindlessly doing something. A lot of the time, we think we are resting when we are zoning out but we aren’t. We are robbing ourselves of sleep. Read on to find out more.
The way we were
Just imagine a butterfly. Does it even remember it was a caterpillar ? Should it? Should we as Christians remember the way we were? Would it cause us to live life more intentionally? Would it cause us to not be so familiar with Gods grace and Jesus sacrifice? These are questions each of us should ponder. Read on to find out more.
Today
Today don’t harden your hearts is a warning to us all. When we look around us, it is easy to get cynical and think nothings going to change. So how do we keep compassionate and with a soft heart in a broken world. Read on to find out more.
Mothers – warriors for God
Mothers- we are kind, lovely and good but are we a warrior. Do we fight for our kids in the spirit realm? Do we even know we should? God is saying today, it is time for the mothers to arise and fight in prayer on behalf of the children. Will you join me? Read on to find out more.
Wake up
Wake up is not a call to get busy but a call to get strategic. Most of us think that if we are busy we are being effective. But that is not the case. In these times, there is an enemy coming for the church and in some places is already here. What are we doing about it? It is time to wake up, suit up and march forth. Read on to find out more.
What do you see
In this world we live in, it is hard to see anything but death and destruction. But none of this takes Jesus by surprise. In fact, He mentioned what these days would be like. The Apostle Paul told us to encourage ourselves with the hope of Jesus second coming. But how else can we change the way we see? Read on to find out more.
The day in the middle
Good Friday is the day Jesus died on the cross. Easter Sunday is the day He rose. But what happened Saturday. Nothing! The day is silent! It is a waiting day! Is this what it’s like for us between receiving the promise and the promise fulfilled? Is it our faith day? Read on to find out more.
Flourishing
Flourishing is a word not commonly used. But the Bible tells me that Christians are supposed to be flourishing like an olive trees. What does an olive tree have that I need? How can I flourish in a broken world? What does it mean? All of this will be answered by reading more.
Trials through trails
Do you sometimes or a lot feel that you are in the midst of a trial and feel like you aren’t moving forward? Do you feel like trials should be over quick? We would like this but the reality is that a trial most often feels like a cross country or trail run. How do we get through them intact? Read on to find out more.
Redemption
Redemption- we most often consider this word in terms of salvation. However I believe that it also has a second, just as relevant meaning for us. That is in relation to being freed from evil. My question is- are we content with earth or do we want to be redeemed from it. Read on to find out more.
Walking in the presence
Have you ever thought what a privilege it is that God lives with us? We don’t have to go to church, or even miss out on the presence of God because we are not a pastor. God dwells with us and we have the awesome privilege of walking with Him. Read on to find out why this is so significant.
When the sands shift
What do we do when situations in our lives cause us to have weeks or even months of feeling unsettled. Are there times when it seems like we are walking or even building our life on shifting sands. Is there a way through these times. I believe there is and it is not to give up and camp there. Read on to find out more.
Prepare yourself
In this year of renewal, how do we prepare ourselves for what God wants to do in us. There are certain things in the Kingdom of God that are basic for us to follow. But sometimes the cares of the world, our busy schedules or other things can take priority. Let’s return to those things that will help us prioritise our eternity. Read on to find out more.
The way we were
We are told in our Christian walk to not look back. Why? Generally it is because we are remembering our sins, the faults of others or we desire to go back to our old life. But I believe sometimes it is necessary to look back. Why? To remember the goodness of God. Read on to find out more.
Going around again
There are times in our lives when situations we thought were resolved or we had forgotten about come back into our lives. At times like these, we think wasn’t this resolved, haven’t I forgiven enough or even doesn’t God love me? But there could be a reason for it. Read on to find out more.
Walking through loss
I had a situation this week where I needed to walk through loss, not of a position but of roles. I struggled with it until I realised I was sad and actually grieving over it. Is this possible? What does God say about it? Is there a way through? Yes, yes and yes. Read on to find out more.
Distraction delays purpose
Have you ever been so distracted that you forgot where you were going or what you were supposed to be doing? I was last week and God spoke to me at the time. Distractions can either take over or delay purpose. We need to be careful. Find out how you can stay on track by reading on.
Who do you rely on
In this year of renewal, an important question to ask is who am I relying on to renew me? Is it me? My New Year’s resolutions don’t last long? Is it others? They may fail me. Is it social media and all the trends? Most of them are short lived. So who is it? Read on to find out more.
Showers of blessing
In this year of renewal, I believe God wants to
pour out showers of blessing on us. What does it mean and is there a preparation time? Yes we need to prepare but the results will be amazing. Read on to find out more.
First step to renewal
Renewal is our word for 2025 but where do we start. Is it God that renews us or is this something we have to do? The first step to renewal is identity. How do you think about you? Does it line up with what Jesus thinks? Read on to find out more.
2025 – the year of renewal
The word for 2025 is renewal. When we think of renewal, it is usually to do with the physical realm- our house, ourselves, people around us etc. But the definition for this year is a spiritual renewal. Most of us have come through some hard years. Last year, we reimagined what our life could be like and this year is all about renewal. Read on to find out more.
Wise men- seeking Jesus
Who or what are you seeking this Christmas? The wise men who were not Israelites saw a strange star and followed it. They then saw Jesus and worshipped Him and gave Him gifts. God is still sending the light today to guide us to Jesus. Will you be wise and seek Him? Read on to find out more.
Step by step
Step by step is how God wants us to walk both in the natural and in the physical. But that is sometimes not us. We want everything done yesterday and we run through our days at a frantic pace. Jesus never hurried and neither should we. So how do we walk step by step? Read on to find out more.
Is this real
In the last days, deception will increase. This blog is a warning to all of us. With the rise of AI, how do we know that what we are watching or seeing is real? We can only know as much as we know the Word of God. Read on to find out more.
