Why did God limit food for the Israelites (manna and quail) while they were in the wilderness? Because this was a time of testing. Nothing tests us quite like a restriction on our dietary intake. Take fasting, as the perfect example. When we fast for the Lord, we go through many phases, and depending on the length of the fast, we will go in and out of these phases. I’m sure there are others you could think of to add…
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…
This is a photo I took on our recent road trip. I took the photo because it reminded me of a dream I had once. In my dream I saw something similar to this; a field full of gathered hay stacks, wound with string, ready for collection. After I had the dream, I felt the Lord was showing me the hay stacks represented small bodies of saints beginning to gather and meet all over the world. The small groups of…
Well folks, it’s been a few weeks since I posted a blog. That’s because Derek and I have been packing, packing, selling, cleaning, moving out, moving my mother, visiting family, and more packing! We have moved out of our rental house, we’ve moved mum to my sister’s place into a new little portable granny flat which she is renting, and Derek and I have been sleeping at my sister’s place for a week, with Rocky the shitzu of-course! Tomorrow we head off…
There seems to be a recurring theme coming up and staring at me lately and its the theme of simplifying our lives for Jesus. Now, that might sound like some kind of ‘Jesus People’ slogan (what’s wrong that anyway?) but it is really quite a profound call to God’s people, in my opinion. It’s a call for the church to let go of the materialism and pull of the spirit of this world and to live simpler lives that are…
This is a wonderful little movie based on true events concerning the history of Scotland and England. So because this is based on historical events, this post is not a spoiler alert and I would thoroughly recommend watching the movie. It is available on Netflix and Youtube. Basically, in the 1200’s Scotland had a large and heavy stone they used in or as a coronation chair for Scotland’s monarchs. There are legends surrounding the origin of the stone but whatever it’s origin, it…
Some months back while we were living at the old house, our little dog Rocky, started some odd behaviour. It started happening quite out of the blue. He’s always been a smoocher and a lapdog. But all of a sudden, he would get up from off the lounge or off the bed or wherever he was sitting/lying at the time, and start pacing around in a rather hunched over way – you know, tail tucked down, ears back, back…
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…
Well, I went to see the movie “Everest” last week and in 3D. Wow. I really recommend the 3D version on the big screen. It’s the true story of a team of hikers on their trek to the summit of Mount Everest. Pretty soon into the film, I began to see and hear the Lord in it and this progressed throughout the film. For us believers, Christ is our summit. Like the summit of Mount Everest to these hikers, Christ is our ultimate,…
Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him. Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God ; He is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge. (Psalm 62:5-8) Sometimes my soul is very noisy. It is sometimes easily rattled. I can always…
