Riding the subway on my morning commute, I play a game to counter the somnambulant effect of the train’s rhythms. I observe my fellow passengers – assessing looks, demeanour, hairstyle, clothing – and try to guess their life story. Single, … Continue reading

Sometimes I have trouble sleeping, so I’m careful to practise good sleep hygiene. I close the blinds and curtains on my bedroom window, and turn the clock face away from my sightline. My bladder insists I get up to void … Continue reading

As our 6-person team prepares for our northern mission trip/adventure – 4 of us going for the first time and feeling some trepidation – it’s wonderful to remember that we are children of almighty God. He is perfect, always was, always will be. By the power of His Spirit in us, He can accomplish amazing things. I look forward to sharing them upon our return. Jesus is in control so it will be great!

Believe and you will see your miracle! When you and I experience either emotional or physical trauma, and God doesn’t respond like we think He should, we will do one of two things. Either we turn to God, trusting Him with the result; or we run from God and feed on bitterness. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can learn to trust again.
“Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”~~ John 11:40
Perspective is often limited by circumstances. God knows exactly what He’s doing in your life and it’s always based on love. When we’re overcome with fear we’re not really looking for…
