I applaud God’s creative genius. I have not met a fraction of a percentage of the members of humanity on the planet. Yet with those that I have come across and engaged with the diversity of personalities, characters, abilities and skills has left me thinking what a wonderful creator God truly is. It’s all the […]
Read More Discernment and WaitingTrust is a massive concept. It’s amazing seeing how that changes in the years of development of a baby to an infant to a teenager. The dependent baby has no questions. The infant may have a question. The teenager … I applaud the parents that have teenagers that don’t question whether overtly or otherwise. Well […]
Read More Do You Know What You’re Doing?We were talking about the progress she has made since she arrived in the country. What tended to happen was she would mention something and I would help her appreciate just how much more there was to the experience that helped to shape how she’s grown in those years. Sometimes it is in looking at […]
Read More Perspective and ThanksgivingThere’s this movie. OK, first up about me and movies. I don’t class myself as a movie fanatic, but I enjoy watching them. I like the odd occasion watching them at the cinema with a good friend – I much prefer watching it at a cinema with a good friend. Whereas when I’m at home, […]

It looks ahead through thick fog of ambiguity with fingers crossed that something might be out there that will be pleasing to them. Then there’s the type of hope that has a confident assurance.

Read More Hope For The BestI am content to believe that God knows what He’s doing. I am also getting to the place of contentment that there is a degree of mystery in understanding where He wants us to be at any given juncture.

Read More Right Where He Wants Us To BeI am not a subscriber to the sentiment that talk is cheap. I have a fair idea where it comes from.
