It's not about me. ). 10 things I learned from 2 weeks in Shanxi:. October 18, 2014. October 22, 2014. I suppose the first thing the Caucasian Aussies around me will assume when I say that I went to China for 2 weeks is that I went there to visit family. I mean, that’s a fair assumption given that I look like I have family in China. Is staggering. As far as “foreigners” go, I have a slight advantage in that I understand a. 2 There is such a powerful witness through love and relationships at camps. Evange...

It's not about me. ). June 7, 2015. June 7, 2015. There hasn’t been much peace inside of me regarding this trip to Singapore. As my annual leave approached, I remember that my initial plan with these 3 weeks was to go to Vanuatu to visit and work with Medical Santo for 2 weeks, and then get assessed for laser eye surgery and get it done within a week. Oh, how foolishly ambitious I was, wasn’t I? Sigh* and breathe…. I’m praying that the Lord will be gracious to me and redeem this trip. Perhaps this year w...

And thus concludes my contribution to the thankfulness challenge! August 9, 2014.

Let me tell you how it was confirmed to me that God was behind this trip:. Fast forward 3 or 4 years later, and I see this absurdly tall man leading prayer at the front of the new church I was visiting after moving to the Sunny Coast – and I remember him – tall Paul! And I think: “I’ve heard of Evergreen before! And I say: Sure!

It's not about me. ). What a feast words are! How the written word grips me and holds me so when it strikes a heart chord and resonates within me! Growth is a sign of life. It is more than merely life being sustained, but there is movement towards a goal, maturity. In order for growth. To occur, nurturing and nutrients are required. In order for a human being to grow in body. In order for a human being to grow in mind and heart and spirit. But of the very very. The heavens and earth into creation and.

Such clarity in the declarations of Bible truths that declared all glory to God! That all of your life — in whatever calling — be devoted to the glory of God. That the promises of Christ be trusted so fully that peace and joy and strength fill your soul to overflowing. That you be women who have a deep grasp...

The natural beauty in my very backyard has me exclaiming in my heart everyday, “Is this for real? 8220;Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.”. These are the people who have been my family in my singleness, while away from my own family. These people have fuelled my passion. Fuelling it to the point whe...

That which is universally binding, the expression of the pursuit of beauty, or joy, or nostalgia; stimulating beyond the aural world and into the visual, awakening memories beforehand locked away in decaying neural synapses —. Music goes without saying. I’d have to say I’m more of an audiophile than a musician. I can play & tinker at my piano and my ukulele. But I’m a much better appreciator of music than creator/producer/player of music. Songs come more easily to mind and then out ...
