This seems appropriate for the day as Andre is turning 51, and I realize that this took some growing on my part. You start out in a marriage selfish, not understanding that when you put your spouse first, you are putting yourself first. Your need to be loved, your need to be comforted, your need […]

I don’t know about you, but I have found myself on the wrong path many times. It’s a funny thing about being on the wrong path. It’s a popular path, wide open and so crowded with friends, family, and even other Christians like me. It is full of other people making bad choices, just like

I love a cup of coffee with the word of God. So take a moment get yourself a hot cup of coffee and join me. You want to hear this. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this, While we were still sinners Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 – Can you imagine

In the midst of life, the hard stuff. That spot where the tekkie (shoe) hits the ground and you are faced with running or falling. You ask yourself where is God can He not see what is happening right now. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I

Let’s build each other up… The most common remarks regarding this verse suggest that interaction with the people around us can influence their manner, appearance, deportment, and character. It can sharpen his wits, controls his conduct, and brighten his very face. Isn’t that the impact you would want on the person you come in contact

Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil.

We enjoyed a beautiful sail today: As we sailed from Saldanha to Langebaan lagoon. We had higher waves than normal rolling in from the ocean. At a stage, the water was very choppy and my mind started panicking and I became so afraid. We were in no danger and we had sailed many many times

Habakkuk 3:17-18 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God

Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Life is hard, and its struggles are real. We are the mothers and fathers of the men and women building on the futures of the next generation. That sentence

When it’s tough… When everything is going wrong, and the day can’t get any worse. Even trying to get positive is just not working. Let your brokenness be your love dance, your worship song to the Saviour. We might not understand the tears that won’t stop flowing… but we serve a God who does.

Psalm 139:14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. This verse is like a soothing balm to my soul… if I read this I feel like I am dancing in a field with flowers… enjoying the

When my brothers and I had angry words with each other, I can remember how my mom would always say, if you don’t have anything good to say about each other, rather keep quiet. While I read this verse, I remember those days of my childhood and I realize as an adult the significance of

We are called to Righteousness… When we have been hurt by other people it’s natural to want to hurt them back. But to live a life that is righteous before God we need to take the high road. So today we choose not to do to others, what they have done to us, because inside

I don’t know about you ladies but sometimes these storms hit hard it feels as if my feet don’t even hit the ground before the next one arrives… and I realized, I need that quick pick me up from God… a reminder that my Saviour has got me… So this is my official “first post”

Faith, believing, and trusting in God in spite of what you see… Last night we experienced that faith while sailing between Paternoster and Langebaan… Sometimes things are just too hard to stay standing. That’s when faith steps in. “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)

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

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

Over the last year, I have found myself praying a lot for the courage to continue to sow into the kingdom of God. Many times things have been so difficult, that I have asked God will I ever reap this harvest? Then the Lord reminded me of a bag of carrots that a person sowed
