Don’t Mess With My Kids

Don’t Mess With My Kids

My friend Rebecca shared the below testimonial with me and I thought it was just beautiful.  Happily, she was ok for me to share it here with you.  It really touched me and I pray it brings you an assurance of God’s ever watchful eye and love for His own, perhaps when you have been unaware or doubting His watchful eye, care and protection over you. This verse shows the heart of our Lord when He spoke to Jerusalem in…

And Along Came Mary…

And Along Came Mary…

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. (2 Cor 2:14-16a)   To us, she was the Aroma of Life.   I have asked my husband…

Who Did Jesus Die For?

Who Did Jesus Die For?

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness….” (Genesis). So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them… (Genesis). For He chose her in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love He predestined her to be adopted as His son, through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will.…He has made…

Who Will You Look To In 2021?

Where will you look in 2021? Who will you look to? How will you spend your time? Who will you spend it with? Who and what will change and alter you this year? Who and what will give you meaning and purpose? Where will you find your identity? Who and what will transform you? Who and what will consume you? Who and what will you love the most? In 2018 I wrote a post called When The Artist Is Omnipresent….

Is God OK With Christmas Trees?

Is God OK With Christmas Trees?

One of the many things I love about the Lord as I get to know Him more is that He dances to His own tune. He cannot be put in a box. Just because He did something in a certain way once doesn’t mean He’ll do it the same way again. Just because He brings us to a point of understanding or insight doesn’t mean we’ve got it all and there’s nothing left on that matter for us to discover….

Are You Free To Sing?

Are You Free To Sing?

Before I share my post with you today, apologies and giggles if you received an email of my last post with a photo of Derek on it! I hope that didn’t confuse you too much.  Hopefully, that is all fixed up now, and although I think he’s very handsome, I don’t really want his face on my posts! lol. Now to the post….. Did you know you can sing whatever words you want to any song? Some Christians might think…

My Updated Site and How To Overcome Language Barriers

Welcome back to my updated site! Thank you for your patience in waiting for the new site to come up, I really appreciate it.  It was off line for quite a few weeks and I’m still working on a few things but I’ve made it across to Bluehost and although it certainly hasn’t been a cut and dry process, we’re here. Safe and sound. There’re still a few more tweaks for me to work on over the coming weeks so…

Hi all, can you believe it is November already?? Derek and I have been living back in NSW for almost a year! We can hardly believe it. And what a year this has been for the planet. Praise the Lord that the times are in His hands. What a mighty sovereign Lord we have so be of good cheer folks. No matter how big the waves, let’s keep our eyes fixed on Him. He alone is the One who stills…

Teachings and Philosophies Vs. Christ

Teachings and Philosophies Vs. Christ

Ok, I have to admit it, I’m feeling somewhat depressed and cranky (lip pout). Yet another friend, has turned to a teaching and philosophy, this time Buddhism. It really ticks me off when this happens. Obviously people are searching or they wouldn’t take these things up. I can’t tell you how many people I know who don’t believe in Jesus as the Son of God, that have taken up buddhism or some form of it, or some kind of new…
