Great Adventure: March 2015
http://greatadventure-liz.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 5 March 2015. What does it feel like to be disappointed by God? But thinking about it, I am just not sure disappointment with God is a construct that is helpful. Why am I disappointed with God? Many writers in scripture show disappointment with God, especially in the Psalms. This fact is often cited as an excuse to be Disappointed. But we need to remember that the disappointment shown by the psalmist is usually accompanied by expectation and finally with praise. ( ' Why, my soul, ar...I pray th...

Great Adventure: Ten years ago....for the Oct 03 girls
http://greatadventure-liz.blogspot.com/2013/01/ten-years-agofor-oct-03-girls.html
Thursday, 24 January 2013. Ten years ago.for the Oct 03 girls. So ten years ago this week, ish, I found out I was pregnant with Adventure Boy. After letting the obvious folk in on the secret, where was the first place I ran to? Well, I plugged my modem into the phone socket, keyed in my password and waited while the phone line screeched at me for a silly amount of time before Connecting To The Internet. So where did I go? Babycentre in Feb 2003. So we got into the swing of being the Oct 03 club. We s...

Great Adventure: The Great In Between
http://greatadventure-liz.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-great-in-between.html
Saturday, 19 April 2014. The Great In Between. So, Holy Saturday. A day between the absolute hideous sadness and the incredible joy. Balanced somewhere, tinged by hope for us, but not for those on the original day. Hope had left. Everything had changed, shut down, gone. Nothing remained. Mary, her tears falling without ceasing as she contemplated, and asked Why. Why do I not take hold of the hope, spend time pursuing God, and instead wallowing in the hopelessness of me? A bit of reflection? Many churches...

Great Adventure: Leaning
http://greatadventure-liz.blogspot.com/2013/01/leaning.html
Tuesday, 15 January 2013. So, here it is. I have prevaricated and procrastinated for long enough. It's time to tell about that experience. You know, the big one, the one where I wondered if I'd see 2012 through. What a fellowship, What a joy divine. Leaning on the everlasting arms. What a blessedness, what a peace that's mine. Leaning on the everlasting arms. This is me in the 2nd week of December, or thereabouts. Lord I'm leaning, leaning. Safe and secure from all alarms. Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Great Adventure: November 2014
http://greatadventure-liz.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 10 November 2014. Trust in the Lord with all your heart? How easy is it to live out Proverbs 3 vs 5-6 when your life does not seem to tally with what it appears to promise? Trust in the Lord. With all your heart. And lean not on your own understanding;. In all your ways acknowledge him,. And he will make your paths straight. Does God 'making our paths straight' mean that all will be well - that everything we do will go how it should? What does it mean to say that 'he will make our paths straight?

Great Adventure: The Virtual Maundy Thursday Labyrinth
http://greatadventure-liz.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-virtual-maundy-thursday-labyrinth.html
Thursday, 28 March 2013. The Virtual Maundy Thursday Labyrinth. Many churches partake in a ‘Labyrinth’ on Maundy Thursday. People are invited to walk through pathways, usually in a church/hall, and pause at certain ‘stations’ to contemplate on Jesus’ journey through this day. But why should I be on the outside looking in? So, here we are then. The Virtual Labyrinth. A prayer labyrinth is not a maze, more of a journey with twists and turns, and no dead ends. There is only one way in, and one way out.

Great Adventure: Abiding Love
http://greatadventure-liz.blogspot.com/2013/02/abiding-love.html
Thursday, 14 February 2013. So, it's Valentine's Day. So I thought I would write a nice Smuggety McSmug post about how lovely it all is and how wonderful and marvellous Adventure Bloke is. Except I didn't really. Now, Adventure Bloke is indeed most wonderful and marvellous, but that is not the content of this post, I'm afraid. I wanted to express something of what love is. The love that underpins all loves. Abiding Love. It's a word that goes deep, that says so much about God's nature. I'd like to think ...

Great Adventure: Christmas De-Trimmed
http://greatadventure-liz.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-de-trimmed.html
Thursday, 22 December 2011. So where does this fit into the Great Adventure? What can be possibly said to be of any good about this situation? I’ve cried myself out, ranted and rallied, and then given in to the good of finally getting IV treatment (and that’s another story I won’t bore you with right now.). It’s made me think about a few things though. What is Christmas when it is all stripped down? What is it when observed from a sofa or sickbed? 22 December 2011 at 16:21. Sorry to se that you are in ho...
