My Quick Word: April 2012
http://myquickword.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Would you tell me I was crazy, that it would be much easier for me to get used to the mountain then to change it? I’m not talking about mean or cruel or deeply flawed people – not anymore flawed then I am anyway. Just people who are different in tradition and thoughts and ways from me. For you it could be the chatty women who sits next to you at work – she’s efficient and kind but she just goes on and on! Ephesians 4 v 16). God loves and adores and has chosen the people I don&#...

My Quick Word: December 2011
http://myquickword.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Quick Word: Christmas Reflection 3. You can catch my quick word every Tuesday morning, just after six, on. What good wishes, Christmas reflections or printed verse do you expect to find on the Christmas cards you get this year? Perhaps they will be sentimental, like 'May the beauty of Christmas be yours throughout the year.'. Maybe they will sound vaguely biblical, like ‘May the joy and peace of Christmas be with you today and always.'. And how did they respond? Matthew 1 v 24).

My Quick Word: August 2012
http://myquickword.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 7, 2012. 7 August: Love is a Choice. I grew up in church singing an 80’s version of ‘TheSteadfast love of the Lord never ceases’. Even now it easily comes to mind, the melody locking the words away in memory forever. It is based on the words in the Old Testament verses,. 8220;The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness;. His mercies begin afresh each morning.”. V 22 – 23). 8220;He has made me chew on gravel. He has rolled me in the dust.

My Quick Word: November 2011

Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Quick Word: Praying with Persistent Enthusiasm. You can catch my quick word every Tuesday morning, just after six, on New Zealand's Rhema. As this year wraps up I’ve been looking back at the wonderful prayers God has answered. There have been many! Things which I couldn’t see a way out of which now I can hardly remember. I’ve also reflected on the prayers I am still praying, the ones I’ve been praying all year. Many of these are prayers for my friends; my family. 8217; I think.

My Quick Word: July 2012
http://myquickword.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 31, 2012. 31 July: Live Today. I realised this week though that this is also how I see the relationship I have with my heavenly God as I, his daughter, grow. I am part of the church, his beloved bride. And the book of Revelation tells me “blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb”. What is it to believe that I am fully and always loved by Christ? What confidence might that give to me today? I have grown as a mother and I now try hard (and sometimes succeed! But th...

My Quick Word: March 2012
http://myquickword.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 27, 2012. I got a bit busy and didn't record anything this week. The station played a repeat - I'm now off to write and create so there will be something next week! Tuesday, March 20, 2012. I was talking to a friend about travelling to Dubai when she told me that I wouldn’t be able to take my Bible. My first thought was that I was being told they were going to take away my faith at the passport counter – I was a little horrified and not sure if I could consider going after all. And no coun...

My Quick Word: 24 July: What's Worth It?
http://myquickword.blogspot.com/2012/07/24-july-whats-worth-it.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2012. 24 July: What's Worth It? Sometimes I find myself saying with King Solomon. 8220;What do people gain from all their labours. At which they toil under the sun? Ecclesiastes 1 v 3. It is when I see her modelling it like that – when I realise that it’s more then just a drain on my time, it’s a lesson for her in loving kindness, gentle care and responsiveness. It’s a way to teach her how to love. I often hear 1 Corinthians 13. 1 Corinthians 13 v 4 – 7. There are times we all struggle ...

My Quick Word: January 2012
http://myquickword.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Just before Christmas I felt exhausted. And I felt terrible about it. I also felt a bit down, I wasn’t feeling able to get into the Christmas spirit, nor was I coming up with any new year's resolutions. So, one night before going on Christmas holidays, I gave into my mood and pulled out a packet of instant potato mix for dinner. It didn’t really help! We all, I’m sure, have times like this. It sounds crazy doesn’t it? But I need sleep. I feel sad, hurt, happy. The cause of pain.

My Quick Word: October 2011
http://myquickword.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Catch my quick word every Tuesday morning, just after six, on. The other night some friends and I got talking about angels and demons – not the Dan Brown book but the real deal. Although, that depends which friend was doing the talking! All this makes me think of a story my grandmother would tell. About to head out as a young woman, alone, on a German boat just before the war she clung to this promise in Exodus chapter 23 verse 20 –. Tuesday, October 18, 2011. 8216; Aha, I win!
