When I previously thought of the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42), I instantly thought that Martha was wrong to have not sat down and just listened to Jesus, as her sister Mary did. But there is far more to this story than…
My smile is one of pure joy…this is over a decade of dreaming and prayers rolled into one hack It may seem trivial or ridiculous that I have waited over 10 years to do something that could have been booked at any point, but…
A few days ago I posted about integrity, but the other side of the coin, for me, is honesty. From a young age, my Daughter has known that as long as she told the truth – no matter what she had done – we’d…
Exactly five years ago, we left our home in England, along with all of our loved ones, to follow God into unfamiliar territory. New Zealand had never been on our radar, honestly, Kieren and I had dreamt of moving to Canada, after it being…
Don’t let the urgency of daily life, choke out the priority of our eternal one… How many of us stress, or worry about the things that we “need” to get done or the extra money we need? Not only that, but we are also…
