I Have a King
This was for me an issue early in my walk with God. I wanted someone to tell me how to do it, to walk ahead. I didn’t have confidence that God would want to use me. That I had any quality that God could use.
I often find myself relating to Jesus, who would retreat in a boat to find solitude away from the crowds. Living on a sailboat provides me with plenty of time for deep reflection and personal conversations with my Creator. It’s in these moments of quiet that I hear His voice most clearly, and I do my best to share the insights, thoughts, and revelations from these sacred conversations with you here in this corner of our blog.

The message that this passing week has echoed in my heart and my thoughts. It’s a story often told as a fairytale, a myth mentioned in families carried from generation to generation. A weekend planned with easter egg hunts and laughter around a fire, burning marshmallows and making jokes.

Isn’t this so true? I am so grateful that God gave me someone to share my love for God with. The more I love Andre the more I want to do for him. This includes the love I have for God and my kids, family, and friends. Love multiplies itself and I think that’s why
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
“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;

I love to be loved, and I think giving love is even better. Just imagine if marriages could be fixed before we get a chance to break them. what a wonderful world that would be. Imagine if Marriages Could be fixed before we get a chance to break them!
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
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
A Love Tap from Jesus We can be strong in the face of terror not because we are courageous but because the God in us is courageous. If you feel your courage slipping today don’t fear, God is strong enough for the both of you. I pray that you will have a courageous day, daring

I always try to do something loving for my husband, sometimes the day ends and all it was, was a cup of coffee. Imagine if all men knew that they were loved and important if they knew that we would not give up even if it got tough. Don’t overlook the impact of a kind
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
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.
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. Because Jesus Christ is love… Agape love. Agape is the fourth word for love derived from the word of
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
