You can’t disapppoint God. Read that again. Slowly. You. Can’t. Disappoint. God. Some of you reading that will be thinking, “well, duh! That’s obvious! I already knew that!” If that’s you, you don’t need to read the rest of this post. But some of you will be a bit like me and need to takeContinue reading “You can’t disappoint God”

Complete Trust
Have you ever been blindfolded and led somewhere? I hate those kind of activities. I always pull against the person trying to lead me, step gingerly and stumble a lot. I can’t find the will to trust the person leading despite the fact that they can see and I can’t. Even without knowing the way,Continue reading “Complete Trust”
Sometimes, it sucks…
I don’t know about you, but sometimes that’s how I feel. “This sucks…” ‘This’ could be one of many things. It could be related to work, home, family, or health, or something else entirely. Maybe it’s looking at the world and seeing poverty or violence. But whatever it is, sometimes it’s just plain rubbish andContinue reading “Sometimes, it sucks…”
40 day challenge Easter Sunday bonus: Joy is infectious
We’ve left lent and entered into the season of Easter. So, to bring the challenge to a conclusion and enter into the new season, I have one last post to write. (Don’t worry, I mean the last post in this series. I will write more, just not every day!) Yesterday night, after writing the postContinue reading “40 day challenge Easter Sunday bonus: Joy is infectious”
40 day challenge day 41… the day of stillness
So, the 41st post in a 40 day challenge. I made a mistake at the beginning and wrote a full post on a Sunday, so reached the end of my 40 days before I reached the end of lent. So the final lenten post. On Good Friday, we remember Jesus dieing. On Easter Sunday weContinue reading “40 day challenge day 41… the day of stillness”
40 day challenge day 38: Romans 12
I was reading some writing I had done a few years ago. I found a bit of writing about Romans 12. It is based on a particular verse that I found encouraging then, amd I still find encouraging now. I’ve been taught to read verses in context, so I looked up the test of theContinue reading “40 day challenge day 38: Romans 12”
40 day challenge day 7: Being perfect (or not)
Sticking with the theme (yes, I have too much time on my hands and have probably seen this film too many time), Encanto strikes again. Today, Mirabel’s other sister. Need context? Read the post from day 5 (and day 6…) Isabella’s gift is to create flowers and beautiful things. In the introduction song, she’s calledContinue reading “40 day challenge day 7: Being perfect (or not)”
40 day challenge day 2: The wrong direction
Reading back through some previous posts, it almost reads like I’ve got it sorted, this walking with God thing, (I don’t) like I never waver (I do). My favourite stand alone film which I come back to time and again as a ‘feel-good’ film is The Frisco Kid. I may have posted about it before.Continue reading “40 day challenge day 2: The wrong direction”
40 day challenge day 1: The Power of Prayer
OK, so off to a good start. One day, one post. Can I keep this up? I hope so! I know I’ll feel richer for it at the end and hopefully some of you reading will to. Spending a little while each day focusing on who God is certainly can’t do any harm… So, whereContinue reading “40 day challenge day 1: The Power of Prayer”
40 day challenge: An introduction
A year ago I was challenging myself to spend 4 weeks on each of 6 different spiritual disciplines. I got something out of doing that, so I decided I’d do something similar this year – not giving anything up but using the time to refocus on God. So, my challenge which I am setting myselfContinue reading “40 day challenge: An introduction”
