Gwennie

What to write... I think many of us when faced with the prospect of putting ourselves on a page come up empty.  I am Gwen, the wife of an amazing husband.  I have two wonderful children of my own and Andre has three beautiful girls. I am the grandmother of 7 grandkids.   I have loved God my whole life, I can't remember a time without God. He has been the air that I breathe since I can remember.  Today Andre and I are doing the one thing I never thought I would have the courage to do.  We are sailing. Living on our boat full time, while we tell the world why He is worth serving.

When we intentionally seek out God… On this Sunday where some people find themselves intentionally seeking out the Lord, and attending church or joining an online church group…We can rejoice in knowing that God in His infinite wisdom knew us. He loved us, He rejoiced over us.. Before we were born He wove us together […]

Don’t miss out

Fearfully 6

I have been thinking about all the haters in the world. I realized it’s easy to miss your salvation while you are focused on the ideas and opinions of those around you. It’s hard to stand up and proclaim God because it puts you in the unpopular box. but Jesus warned us, our Father let

Faith Hope and Love

1 Corinthians 13:13 – And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. As I prayed over this verse I was reminded of why this verse has been so important to me all these years. This verse sums up the whole gospel of Jesus Christ to me. 1

Luke 11:13 I feel so blessed having a Father in heaven who wants to love me, wants to bless me. Despite who I am in the world, as a child of God I am washed clean. I am covered in the blood of the lamb and I am promised the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Meeting God on my knees… I have been on my knees so many times this last year, for myself, for my family, and for the families of the people we meet. As I bow before my Father, the Great I AM, I know that He is strong, when I feel weak, and in despair, my

Psalm 91:2 The verse of the day is so appropriate after the night we had. We had a strong Southerly with an average of 19 knots and gusting of 30 knots. The fishing boats behind us were getting ready to leave and our anchor started dragging fast straight towards them. By the time we got

Many times I have done something that was so stupid, that I could just kick myself… but my intentions did not come from a place of ill intent. It is in these moments that I can go to my Father with Psalm 139:23-24 and ask my Father…Search me, God, and know my heart; test me

Our journey to Lamberts Bay started a year ago.  A season in our lives where sailing was still the romanticized version, with new places, new sights and sounds, sunset walks on the beach, and stolen kisses in the dark. It was in Paternoster where the reality of what we had embarked on started setting in,

Living for the things we can accumulate cannot be all we strive for. Our life is more than a destination, a journey, or a flat-screen tv. It’s about the things we learn as we study the word of God. The values we can apply as we sail to the next destination, and experience the next

I did my Bible study on Acts 5 this morning, and I realised that it doesn’t matter the era we are in, facing unbelievers who are hurtful will always be part of this journey. To the ones standing strong.. we don’t stand because we are able.. NO we stand because our King is able.
