What is the Source of Your Joy?
Two weeks ago, I was in my gallery relaxing and admiring the view and suddenly I felt like there was something heavy in the atmosphere. A kind of depression and spiritual heaviness was just lurking around, looking to see who it could fall upon and consume. Then I thought about all the people who are … Continue reading What is the Source of Your Joy?
What Are You Looking Forward To?
There is this butcher who works in an area where I typically purchase my meats. What amazes me about this gentleman, is that he is always reading the bible in the front of his shop.

When God Says No or Wait – Part 1
I think a good starting point for this topic is to understand that even before asking God for anything we must appreciate and understand His loving and giving nature. We must firmly believe that all His thoughts and plans (Jeremiah 29:11) towards us are for His Glory and our Good.

What Are You Holding On To?
God is opening my eyes to my environment and what is going on in the world. I am not just noticing it more and more but what my eyes are seeing is bringing about a true sadness and concern.

Be Encouraged!
Discouragement seems to be all around us. I don’t know many things I can look to these days and feel encouraged. For example, do our jobs really give us fulfilment and contentment? I have been working for over 27 years and in various companies and I cannot recall anyone who mentioned to me that their … Continue reading Be Encouraged!

I was in church last week Saturday to pick up my daughter from dance class but I had to wait due to being early. I was sitting and waiting in the lobby area where the person (Sister Sharon) who is assigned to cleaning and maintaining the church was executing her duties. It is widely accepted … Continue reading The Pruning of the Plants
