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.

Our refuge

I love this verse it fills my heart with joy, it sets my feet on solid ground and my soul sores all in one breath… It puts butterflies in my stomach as I realize where I am. May the LORD reward you for what you have done, and may you receive a full reward from […]

He has risen

“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead;

Attitude

There was a time when I was going through a terrible time being sick and trying to preach. It took so much out of me and I would ask God why would I be punished so terribly. As I did my bible study that morning I read: Hebrews 12:10 They disciplined us for a little

True Love

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

Promised land

How many times has God not removed you from a situation, and exchanged it for a life of victory and you have returned back to your old story? Gone back to past hurts, past habits past situations to repeat your mistakes and miss out on your promised land. Don’t look back, look forward and walk

The journey

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

Godly Change

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

Agape Love

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? It’s in these verses that we are reminded of God’s love.

Fear

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

Mercy

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

My Tears

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.
