Cramming

,
Are 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

,
It'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

,
"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…

Resting

,
I'm not so good at this but have asked the Lord to teach me. He wants us in balance and we're of no use to him if we are burnt out. The Bible clearly teaches us that we are to cease our own works and do his.  Then we can enter into his rest…

Engagement

Brevity

, ,
Life for us humans is so incredibly short.  To think that the likes of Noah and his contemporaries lived hundreds and hundreds of years. Among them was Enoch who the Bible says walked with God and then was not because God took him (Genesis 5:24). …

Panic!

,
Is 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

One 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

,
Waiting, 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…
