‘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.

Choosing to Believe
In this world, everyone chooses what they want to believe. Some choose to believe in God, some in other gods and some choose to believe in themselves. Still others choose to believe in nothing at all. But we all choose, and we all believe in something.
That is where faith comes in. Faith is choosing to believe in that which is not seen, but that which we hope for with all our heart.
We need to choose to believe that God is the creator of the universe and everything in it.
We need to choose to believe that God desires to have a personal relationship with us – all of us. It is us that choose to either enter into this relationship or who choose not to.
BORN TO WORSHIP TOO
We are all born to worship. We are all created by God and within us is a vacuum or void that can only be filled by God. When we know our creator, we truly know ourselves. And this ‘knowing’ comes through worship. Worship touches the deepest places of our hearts and it satisfies our souls.
Worship is not just music. Worship can look and feel very different for all of us, because we are all created to be different.
Worship begins with seeking God’s face. And it can go anywhere from there.
LIVING ON PURPOSE
God has placed your purpose in the very core of your being. Your purpose is usually birthed out of your passions rather than your talents. Your life experiences prepare you for you purpose.
So if you have a dream that still beats deep within your heart, keep at it and don’t let it go. Your purpose may be about to emerge.
REDEEMING LOVE
Sometimes we have to experience the fire, in order to tell others what the burn feels like.
In order to truly know Gods redemptive love.
In order to share this redemptive love with others.
HOW CAN WE BE THERE FOR SOMEONE WHO KEEPS MAKING BAD CHOICES?
It’s difficult to stand by and watch the people we love make choices that we believe are not good for them.
It is our love for them that makes us care about them … that makes us concerned for them and that makes us hurt for them because we know that they will almost certainly reap bad results from their choices.
But we have no right to force our opinions on anyone else.
The key thing to remember is that we cannot measure another person’s behavior against our own. Especially if that person is not at the same place as you spiritually. They may not even believe.
Ultimately everyone is accountable for their own actions. The very best thing that we can do for someone is to love them. And if we can’t love them out of our own hearts, we can love them out of Gods heart.
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.
