‘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.
People Stuff
GOD WITH US
Throughout history, man has over and over again, turned his back on God, rejected God and sought to live this life on his own, under his own rule or at least a man-appointed rule.
But God has continued to pursue us. He has not given up on humanity.
God in Government
I had my own understanding of politics locked down. Politics and religion do not go together. The Government and the church must be kept separate. As long as I uphold God’s standards of morals and ethics in my life and my family, I am ok.
And of course we must still pray for our country. That our leaders will turn to God and govern our people in a way that is void of corruption and full of love.
Do you know that 80% of the voters in SA declare themselves to be Christian. That means that they believe in God and have a basic understanding of what is good or bad in His eyes.
We need to ask God to shut out all the other voices and noises that we are hearing, that are cluttering our lives and leaving us feeling frenzied and disorientated. We need to find a place where we can hear Gods voice.
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!
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.
