Reflections

I can relate to Jesus who would get into a boat to get away from the crowds. Living on a sailboat gives me a LOT of time to reflect on life and to have intimate conversations with my Creator. I do my best to share those conversations, thoughts and insights with you in this corner of our blog.

True Love

A Love Tap From Jesus 1

I want to play devil’s advocate for a minute… If God is love, do you think that people who don’t know God know how to love? If you don’t know how to love can you save a broken marriage or damaged people? It’s an interesting question and it was one of the verses that God

Faith Hope and Love 1

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.

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

My Tears

Fearfully 1

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.
