It has been a few months of long hours of focusing on work and so having a few days of downtime is refreshing. Sometimes you don’t realise how tired you are till you stop. The snoozing in the morning and hitting the alarm a few times does not make me feel guilty. Well not at the moment anyway. I was watching a few renovating shows, later that evening.  Most of them had a huge budget and they were changing the entire layout of the house. The team were flipping. That’s what it is called when they buy an old worn out, tired house and renovate it and then sell it…

I have this new computer that recognizes my fingerprint so as to open up all my icons on it. It keeps everything private and unopenable by anyone, unless it’s me. Most of our technology have these protections inbuilt in them. Our phones to be usable often need face recognition. Passwords are put onto our email addresses so people find it harder to use our personal information. Of course, computer wizards or hackers can often get through these protective mechanisms, so passwords are often changed to try and avoid this. The other day I was trying to open my computer and it did not recognize me. After a few goes and…

Do you sometimes do things during the day that don’t necessarily have to be done because you are trying to avoid something you have to do? Or is that just me? Procrastinating is the word. Suddenly you are oh so busy doing some long needed cleaning. The dust that has accumulated on the fans. All the bathmats need soaking and washing thoroughly.

I had a deadline for some writing I had to…

Living out of a suitcase lately and having irregular times for meals and the normal chores going out the window, really makes me appreciate routine. But I also chose to toss out my regular timetable of work and home life for a season of Ministry. A season of reaching out to others wherever we were. This season was special. Mainly because God turned up. So, when sometimes the tiredness was seeping into my bones as the days progressed God was ever before me nourishing me with His Word and showing me His miraculous love and mercy in people’s lives. It was God’s presence that spurred the team on. It was…

I was sitting outside beside flowing water having a prayer time. Speaking to the Lord about where I was at and how my life was going. Asking Him many questions about the future.  Trying to listen to any response that He might give. Life had been very busy lately but not just busy in my own personal life and in the Ministry, there were also many questions that needed answers and I wanted to do the Lord’s will. I was feeling quite empty, unsure at my discernment. What next Lord? Guide me. I called out to Him, “Lord I believe but help my unbelief.” I needed some encouragement. I was…
