I recently took up swimming again. It has been about fifteen years since I last swam laps as a form of recreation for fitness and enjoyment. As I was walking Rocky this morning, I became aware of how different my body feels after less than a week of swimming. Even though I am not toned or fit, my body feels like it has sprung into life after fifteen years of hibernation! As I walked, I could feel muscles all over that…
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…
In the children’s animation movie ‘Moana’ there are a number of very powerful scenes that if you look behind what you’re seeing on the screen, you can see something of the Spirit realm to which you and I belong. Of-course, these are only shadows & types. One scene that really spoke to me was concerning Moana’s ancestors. Her ancestors were voyagers, you see. However, over time her people had decided to remain safe and no longer would venture out past…
“…but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:14) I am conscious that many Christians are weary and tired. Many are exhausted. I mean this spiritually, hence the need for a place to sit down and draw fresh water to revive a weary soul. And many who don’t know Christ are…
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…
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…
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…
The other day a sister shared with us in our group, what she saw of the Lord whilst planting some trees with her two little boys in tow. She explained the process of digging the hole and filling it with water and then removing the potted tree from its pot. She explained how because the tree had been growing in a pot, its roots had grown long over time, but they went round and round in circles and were all…
