‘Life, Love and Miracles’ are a beautiful trio that I would use when describing my spiritual journey. Because … Real Life is often more bizarre or more beautiful or more broken than any well-written novel could ever be. Love is the all-powerful emotion that heals hearts, restores hope and harbors happiness. God is the very origin of Love. The personification of Love. God is Love. Miracles are happening all around us, every day. People pray and people see God move. People are continually being blown away by Gods goodness. 
Because … I want you to be blown away too! I want you to discover your purpose and passion for life. I want you to be surprised by Gods love. And I want you to be amazed by the myriad of modern day miracles that are happening all around you. Because … This is what makes me come alive. This is what makes me want to explode with passion and purpose. Sharing the realness yet greatness of God. Exploring the casual yet intimate depths of Gods Love. Being real. Sharing Gods Love Growing in Faith These three statements are the foundation, the support and the very reason for this ongoing conversation. These are the three pillars that will uphold this blog.

The extraordinary kindness of God
God’s kindness knows no bounds. He is not a God of first chances only. He is a God of second and third and fourth and fifth and so on and so on goes his never ending grace.
It doesn’t matter if we mess up or if things get messed up around us. As long as we stay true to our relationship with Jesus and keep our eyes fixed on him, he will make a way where there seems to be no way.
Me and my Psychologist
It happened in the dead of the night, just after our daughter woke us for a toiled run. At 4am when I climbed back into bed I just could not get to sleep. So I began to pray, which is quite normal for me but this time, I was taken right into a ‘one on one’ with the ultimate Psychologist. It was totally unexpected. It was like the Lord saying to me ‘Ok, tell me what is bothering you? I am listening.’ And I just got to say it all – without any interruptions – without any judgements and at the same time I was getting a clear realization or understanding of the situation.

When we get that we are so brilliantly Glorious because we are as He is and we have been fashioned by His hand, then we will shake off the grubbiness – which is the unbelief about who we really are.
Then we will really SHINE!
Who are we reflecting?
‘The church is like his precious jewel. Each of us make up a different facet. Each carved by the creator. Each incomparable. Each reflecting a different facet of who God is. Together as a whole, a beautiful sight to behold.’

In the bible, there are over 270 names that are used for God, each name describing a different facet of his character and a different dimension of his love. He is so glorious and so enormous that one name could never begin to describe him.
But Yahweh is completely different. Yahweh is personal. Yahweh is ‘I AM WHO I AM’
Yahweh is our covenant keeping God.
Yahweh is the LORD of His people
And then Jesus Christ came to earth.
My great desire is that this blog is accessible to everyone, no matter where you are on your faith journey - even if you are not yet on your faith journey.
It’s about giving you a glimpse of God and His incredible and unfailing love. It’s about showing you more of him until eventually you start to ‘know’ him.
Because to know God, is to Love God.
Real love is ‘Knowing’. As the knowing grows so the love expands to contain it.
PRAYER REQUESTS & QUESTIONS
We all have issues that we face; some seem large and insurmountable, some leave us broken and grieving and some turn up the pressure to the point that we feel that we are going to explode. But there is always hope, always light and always love …. And joy comes in the morning. Read more
PRAISE & WORSHIP
Worship is certainly one of my true passions. And although there are many different expressions of worship, my favorite by far is music. Being a drummer myself and having been strongly influenced by Christian Rock, I always enjoy the roundy ‘Praises’ but it is in the quiet ‘Worship’ where we truly come ‘heart to heart’ with God.
