Cramming
Motivation, Word of GodAre you, like me, cramming as much into life as possible? I've always had this tendency but sometimes it feels like putting gallons of water into a pint glass (yes, I'm of the old school that still doesn't recognise these in metric) . Somehow…
Media Muddles
Motivation, Word of GodIt's so easy to get in a muddle and we want to cry 'Get me out of here' when our circumstances become overwhelming. However, there is a way through the mass of media communications that confront us each day.
We can so easily mishear something…
Plans
Encouragement, Word of God"We make our plans but God has the final word." (Proverbs) I wouldn't want it any other way. When we've done our best at planning a situation, somehow God always supersedes it with a much better plan. Am aware that our minds are the battleground…

Panic!
Comfort, Word of GodIs this human trait prevalent to us all or is it just experienced by the likes of the 'Dad's Army' characters? I'm more prone to this and have to guard myself from spilling out and making others panic, too!
However, God, as always, has…
Waiting
Word of GodOne of the hardest things we humans can do? I find this incredibly difficult but, as Christians, we are called to wait on God (Isaiah 40:28-31). Our busy lives are not a reflection of our spirituality - in fact, I would even say that the…
Being Quiet
Motivation, WorshipWaiting, resting and quietly waiting for God may seem alien in our society but so necessary to be able to hear God and move with him. I have been challenged by Doctor Howard Morgan (from the States who is visiting the UK at present) to spend…
