‘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.

Leaving a legacy
How we live our lives, how we interact with others and how we show Gods love to our circle of influence, is all part of the legacy that we leave behind when we leave this life.
A legacy is something that remains after we leave this world – something that speaks of our lives.
Let us make sharing Gods love a natural extension of how we live our lives.
Every detail of your life …
God is the creator of the whole universe – everything in it – and the creator of you and me.
He has a plan for you and me. He created us so that he could live this life with us. We don’t need to battle through it alone. We don’t need to be anxious – desperately trying to figure things out on our own. God is God. The author and finisher of our faith.
Day by day by day
My relationship with God has been one of nearness and distance, of obedience and rebellion but during this journey, I have had more than a handful of life-changing moments. Moments that have left me without a shadow of a doubt, that there is a God who intimately loves us and ultimately want us to know him and love him and to be in a daily living, walking, talking relationship with him.

And now to the very last day of the year …
I am sure that each one of you can say that 2016 was a year filled with unexpected blessings coupled with untold sorrows. But isn’t that what life on this earth is all about. Beautiful sweetness mingled with grief-stricken bitterness.
But even so, there is always hope and there is always joy when our confidence is in the Lord.
An enemy is lurking
The enemy knows our brokenness. He understands our areas of great weakness and when given half the chance, he overwhelmes us with thoughts of inadequacy and great neediness. And these triggers sent us on a downward spiral into a place of darkness and depression. A place we don’t want to even leave because its too tiring to think about leaving. This is oppression rather then depression.
The onslaught is from the outside, but it messes up the inside.
But there is power in prayer and the prayers brought the darkness into the light.
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.
