"Many are saying of me, 'God will not deliver him." Psalm 3:2 And I agreed with them. There words stung. Of course they didn't say these words. But they could have. I knew what they meant. They always ask of me "when will it happen?" I am right in saying when God wants it to be done? Yet...

I have decided to move to Indonesia. With the decision came a lot of anxiety. More than I expected. I have been having nightmares about the decision. Before I made the decision I knew that it was the right one. After, I felt like something was wrong. I am not sure what it is. Jakarta is a big...

Psalm 2: 12 "Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him." Decisions aren't always easy. Every day we have impulses, desires, needs and circumstances, some of which are beyond our...

Psalm 1: 2 -3 Instead, the Law of the Lord makes them happy, and they think about it day and night. They are like trees growing beside a stream, trees that produce fruit in season and always have leaves. Those people succeed in everything they do. My life feels like it is in constant...

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Matthew 6:8 Ever feel like your a whining toddle at the feet of the Lord rather than a strong, confident woman? It seems in this day and age we are encouraged to ask again and again and again for what we need. In fact...

Dear Lord, I need you. I have been chasing all the things that I thought that I had let go of. It seems that the harder I work the further away from You I get. I tried to make it here and i tried t be friendly. I tried to make myself the person that I thought you wanted me to be But now I am...

Dear Lord, I need you. I have been chasing all the things that I thought that I had let go of. It seems that the harder I work the further away from You I get. I tried to make it here and i tried t be friendly. I tried to make myself the person that I thought you wanted me to be But now I am...

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24 I remember my first real job interview. When I say “real job interview” I mean that it was the first interview for a job that I really wanted. It was the job...

I am sitting here wasting the moment thinking about the past, the present and the future. It is always strange to be thinking such things but I realise now, more than ever, that I see God's hand at work in my life. It is easy when we look back on how our life has changed to see God's work but to...

Reading this passage makes me realise 2 things - Moses was very human and I am very like Moses. Moses had the opportunity to reflect the glory of God in his own skin. The Israelites could look on him and see God. So they asked him to cover his face and he did until God's glory had faded from...

What ministry do you do? What ministry would you like to do? These thoughts have been circling in my head for a long time now. I can honestly say at the moment I don't have much of a ministry going and I am not really sure how to get one started. Don't get me wrong - it is not that I am not...

When I look back on my week I realised that this was not the easiest of weeks. My dog died, I had dramas with students and teachers, I am still so many thousands of km away from the place I consider home, the guy I am interested in may actually be in a relationship, my headphones stopped working...

Dear Lord, I am not liking myself right at this point in time. I guess the truth is I have used my mouth to say things that are not very nice and I am ashamed. The problem is I have so many distractions right now that I am not spending enough time with you. I am forgetting who I am in You. I...

Dear Lord, I know that you have been working hard on my life over the last couple of months. I know that you are changing me into something beautiful, something more than I ever thought I could be. I guess the hardest thing about my life is that I never thought that this would be me. I am...

Dear Lord Jesus, I am sick. I am not sure what is making me sick but I know my body is not happy. I read verse about my body being a temple and that you have given me this body as gift so I better take care of it. I am thankful that I am not in control of this body. In fact, I am grateful...

Dear Lord, I am not sure where all of this heading. At the moment I feel completely lost. I feel life I can't go on but then I guess you are already aware of that. I am trying to make sense of it all and then in the middle of teaching I had a thought. I had a thought about how selfish I have...

There is a funny thing in my life. I never know where I am going to be next year. I think about, plan for it but then it never ends up the way that I plan. It seems what God wants and I want with my life are 2 very seperate things. It has been a week since my boss asked me at church what my...

It is funny how you catch yourself saying something you may not want to. I was at a friend's house tonight looking at her wedding albumn. We were talking about her hair style and I wanted to say "When I get married..." but just as the words came out of my mouth I realised I had to stop. My next...

It is funny how you spend a life time following the desires of your own heart. I remember being younger and I always wanted the bigger, better deal. I always wanted more than I had. I guess what I mean by younger is only 3 months ago! I always wanted to return home never making home where I was...

There is a song I love. It sung by an Australian country singer called John Williamson. Some days I can sing the words by heart - "Don't go lookin' through that old camphor box woman, You know those old things only make you cry. When you dream upon that little bunny rug It makes you think that...
