This post is a little more lengthy and detailed than normal because I want to highlight how Derek and I have experienced an aspect of the Lord we had not understood before – that is God as a God of completion – down to the final hour of the final day. So if you’ve got the time to read through, I hope you can appreciate the fullness of this testimony. Story: If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll recall that my family…
My husband and I recently read this article by Jon Zens and agree it is a very important message to the church. Please read. Don’t Forget the Part About the Sheep and the Goats, by Jon Zens (SearchingTogether.org)
Dear Fellow-Believer, When Jesus says “He is our life, joy, peace, love, compassion, grace, truth, strength……(fill in the blank), do we believe Him? For example, Jesus is the Prince of Peace, right? So if we have Jesus Christ living and dwelling inside of us, do we not have the Prince of Peace living inside of us and therefore have peace dwelling in us? Or do we hear/read the words that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and then because…
G’day there! It’s the 12th of the 12th, 2015 and here I am sitting in my new office for the first time, in the new house the Lord has given me and my family. God has been faithful as always. We moved in here on the 27th of November and what a ride this last month has been. Some of you have been following my blog posts on our situation regarding moving house, and how the Lord has been revealed…
Hi all, This is just a short post-it-note really, to keep in touch until I get internet connected from our NEW HOME! That’s right folks, God has delivered and provided for us and blown us away AGAIN! I can hardly wait to write what The Lord has done over these past weeks and these past days and even hours. He NEVER ceases to amaze me. Until then however, thank you to all you dear brothers and sisters who have prayed…
Hi All, I’m just writing a short post to let you know that over the next couple of weeks I may not be able to post as often as I normally would, which is generally twice a week. In fact, I think I only posted once last week. That’s because I’m packing house and waiting on internet searches, applications and phone calls to inspect houses for rent and hopefully move! We have 18 days left before our termination notice expires…
When I first published this post, it was related to a video I came across on Facebook. Unfortunately, the video has now been removed so I can no longer share it here. To briefly summarise in order to make sense of the below post (published in 2015), it was a clip of women of all ages, body shapes and with grey hair. They were all talking directly into the camera about learning to embrace their age and learning to let…
I don’t mean to carry burdens. Sometimes I don’t even see them coming, and it’s not until weeks later I realise I’ve been labouring under them. Burdens are cares, right? They’re worries, anxieties, and concerns. They are matters that weigh heavy upon our minds and hearts. But Jesus said to cast ALL our cares upon Him for He cares for us. He said to come unto Him all who are weary and heavy laden, to learn from Him, that He…
Being a follower of Christ is all about a surrendered life, and there are costs involved we never even knew of. Sometimes I sense the Lord doing something in me, and I can’t even tell what it is. Often I’m experiencing some discomfort, pain or suffering in a way that I can’t put into words. It’s not necessarily that my external circumstances have changed; by anyone’s account, my life appears to be going along just swimmingly. But there is an apprehension that something…
Male members of the species do not be alarmed at this post! Even men can appreciate the ways in which we can see the Lord through this strange and peculiar phenomenon that occurs in a female’s body when she’s….well …getting tired. Following along the theme of my last post 9 Ways Every Pizza Eating Believer Can See Christ, I want to share with you just how even in the experience of menopause, we can see the Lord. (I don’t have…
