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. He said: “… and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”. Philippians 4:7 This is a common verse that many of us know. 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”
Surrender that leads to Power
Come unto Jesus Give Him your life today Come unto Jesus Let Him have his way Come unto Jesus Lyrics, Dallas Holm This song reflects my heart’s desire today: That I would learn to truly go to Jesus, for everything big and small. That I would truly learn to trust Jesus, when the darkness beforeContinue reading “Surrender that leads to Power”
Brokenness and restoration
I heard some very strange noises outside my window. It was as if someone was violently breaking the earth, shaking the foundation that holds our little apartment. Naturally, I rushed to the window to see. I live on the third floor, so death through crushed rubble is a very possible reality if something were toContinue reading “Brokenness and restoration”
