How often are we caught in between seasons? A season of the long wait…when we are not sure of the outcome? Perhaps something has happened and caused us to wilt or wither, perhaps even quite unexpectedly…and perhaps we dont even know how we will survive this.
I have found there is only one thing we can do when we are faced with a long wait…and that is HOPE.
I tried stress – it didnt work.. worry gets you nowhere and fear leads you deeper into the dark…Hope is your only chance to survive.
Sometimes we don’t realise we are lost. Would you agree? Sometimes all it takes is a series of small steps in the wrong direction, perhaps a few steps towards apathy and then compromise slowly creeps in. After a while we’re not walking in the way God planned for us, but the fade away has been […]
Change is hard. I’ve heard that many times throughout my life, but I always thought I handled change very well. I was good at adapting to new seasons. I welcomed change. That is, until I was faced with one my heart wasn’t ready for… I know those days of childhood are long gone and my […]

“Their lies led them astray, lies which their Fathers followed.” Amos 2:4 I want to share with you a little nugget I found in the Old Testament book of Amos. Throughout the book the prophet speaks to the people of Israel. He warns them of the coming punishment for despising the law and turning away […]
Happy New Year…. That almost sounds shallow this year…every time I said that to friends or family I felt as though it didn’t really say how I felt. I wanted to say something more like – Have a safe new year. Remember what is important this year. Stay close to Jesus and keep your eyes […]
I couldn’t shake the feeling, the heaviness that had resided upon me the last few days…I was troubled, and I knew why. So right there in front of the folding pile I told the Lord how I was feeling. I knew He knew, but I needed His truth to shine light on my feelings. I […]
