Hello from down under. If anyone has had the dream of wanting to be a part of a dystopian themed movie, well, it sometimes does feel like it now or at least if all you see is the news, then you feel like it for sure. I have been very cautious with how I engage... Continue Reading →
Storms
I am not very fond of storms; it does scare me a little bit. As summer came to an end in Perth, we do get some thunderstorms at this time of the year and being on the coast, it gets extremely windy. In the safety of your home a thunderstorm can seems very different to... Continue Reading →
Heart Reality
Zechariah 7: 3b “Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?” In Zechariah chapter 7, we see a few of the Jews had been sent by others to ask whether they should continue to mourn and fast in remembrance of the destruction of the temple. At this point... Continue Reading →
Clarity
“I found something vintage”. Finding something vintage would be nice but nope, not in my case. Let me be more specific “I found something vintage in my son’s schoolbag”. This happened towards the end of school year last year in December. He is a teenager now so I thought I could trust him with ensuring... Continue Reading →
Spirit over Self
As I read Mathew 14, what stood out to me and what I wanted to share did not end up in this post. As I started to write I ended up focusing on Herod. A little atypical isn’t it to keep Herod as the main focus of a lesson. God has a way of teaching... Continue Reading →

Choosing What is Better
This week passed in a blur for me. I was busy and was mentally drained with whatever free time I had and as a result my alone time with God and His word was not as long and focused as I would have ideally liked. Yesterday evening, my husband gently told me that I was... Continue Reading →
Stepping Forth in His Strength
Joshua was God's chosen servant to lead the people of Israel into the promised land after Moses' death. This story can be found in Joshua 1:1-9. Joshua was the son of Nun born as Hosea into the tribe of Ephraim. Hosea means 'salvation'. It was Moses who later gives him the name Joshua (Num 13:16),... Continue Reading →
Press on!
Philippians 3:12-14 "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and... Continue Reading →
