It’s about that time of year when we pause to take stock and reflect on our lives. I may have started a bit earlier than most since 2020 was an unprecedented year in terms of all the unexpected things it gave to us. It’s been a good year, a tough year but a good year.Continue reading “Finishing strong”

The cornerstone and its effect on our lives
I came across a very interesting verse during my quiet time today in the book of Matthew: “Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed” Matthew 21:44 For some reason, this verse struck me. I have always loved Jesus’ words two verses before thisContinue reading “The cornerstone and its effect on our lives”
Strength for today
“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.” Psalms 28:7 One of the main things 2020 has forced us to do is spend more time with ourselves that we potentially ever had before. WithContinue reading “Strength for today”
What it takes to win
What does winning look like? When I think about winning, this is what comes to mind for me: Getting to the finish line. The praise and congratulations that comes along with finishing something, particularly if one finishes first. But what about the process? How do we know we are still winning, or even have aContinue reading “What it takes to win”
Divine Peace
The apostle Paul, when writing to the church in Philippi had a very interesting take on peace.

Having grown up inContinue reading “Divine Peace”
Of difficult times, growth and God’s love
I read a very interesting quote from the Forbes magazine yesterday, that difficulties build up our mental muscle the same way physical exercise builds up our bodies. It is a very interesting concept, to think that we need tough times to strengthen and equip us. Often, my first thought when difficulties arise is to stepContinue reading “Of difficult times, growth and God’s love”
A moment versus eternity
Where we see a moment, God sees eternity. There are some experiences that God allows us to go through that do not make sense in the moment. Sometimes opportunities pass us by. What we thought was meant for us, a gift God was giving to us, does not materialize. What do we do in suchContinue reading “A moment versus eternity”
Joy, peace and hope
Today’s post is short, just a reminder that God is our source of joy and peace. He gives us continuous hope: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit Romans 15:13 InContinue reading “Joy, peace and hope”
A Jacob Experience, Part 4: The eternal promise
My summary of what I have learned from the story of Jacob would not be complete without touching on the eternal perspectives that this story demonstrates to me. It took Jacob many years, and many ups and downs, for him to get to that place where he could find peace in God, and see allContinue reading “A Jacob Experience, Part 4: The eternal promise”
A Jacob Experience, Part 3: The prosperity
Last week and this week, I have been sharing what I have been learning from Jacob’s story in the Bible. I just love how God makes his word come alive and speak to us in every season. This story gives me hope and encouragement. It reminds me that no matter how things seem in theContinue reading “A Jacob Experience, Part 3: The prosperity”
