Jesus, My Rubbish Collector

June 14, 2010 The Good Word

I was following along with a conversation on a friend’s website about entitlement the other day. And I began to recognise something that has been changing in me without me being fuly cognizant of it: I’m becoming aware that there is more (and more) “rubbish” in my heart, and I need help taking out the [...]

I Get On My Knees

May 10, 2010 Prayers in Poetry & Prose

I‘m not one for creating a religious rule to abide by any means. Or for saying something always ought to be done a certain way, at a certain time, or in a certain place. (Since Jesus seemed to move in different ways at different times.) So please don’t think for a moment that with the [...]

Something Better Than Your Blackberry

April 23, 2010 Stories

There is a special quote that has a special place in my heart for lots of reasons, and every time it comes to mind it seems that I gain some new insight from it: Earth is crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees, takes off his shoes [...]

Travelling Tuesday: Overcome Heights, South Africa

April 20, 2010 Travel..ling Tuesdays

Once again this Travelling Tuesday is filled with a gift I’ve been eager to unwrap. The gift of giving, and finding again and again, that you cannot out-give God. Even in giving, you find that you receive more in return — and my cup is overflowing. As I shared last week, we visited an area [...]

April 5, 2010 Stories

This post, and the special picture at the bottom are for my Dad. Thanks for being in my corner! I was a really puny kid. Almost always the smallest in the class. On picture day, they lined us up according to height, shortest to tallest, and I always went first and held up the little [...]

Are You One of the Ten, or One of the Two?

February 12, 2010 Stories
Are your circumstances making you feel this big?

Numbers 13 tells the (perhaps familiar) story of the twelve spies going to check out the Promised Land. Very Mission Impossible-esque. Uh, minus the technology. They went for forty days, north, south, east and west, and checked out the land that God had promised to give them. They discovered God had promised them very good [...]

See Psalm 49

February 11, 2010 Prayers in Poetry & Prose
Grab a Splash of Hope

Hope in God, Oh my soul! It is ridiculous to put your trust in wealth or riches. They cannot redeem your soul for all eternity! You’ll go to the grave and they’ll pass to someone else! God is our hope forever. I will put my trust in Him.

I… (Won’t) Be Home For Christmas…

December 19, 2009 Baby Photos
Bloemfontein Christmas

If I’m learning anything these days, I’m learning that every moment can be a learning moment if you’re paying attention. If you check out this blog every-so-often, you are probably aware that I am in South Africa. And I’ll be here for a while. And I won’t be heading home for the holidays. I’ve been [...]
