song for missions

another favourite song: here’s something for those of you in Ethiopia right now. I really appreciate what y’all are doing over there:
If You ask me to leap,
Out of my boat on the crashing waves;
If You ask me to go,
Preach to a lost world that Jesus saves;
I’ll go but I cannot go long,
Cause I know I’m [...]

walking by faith, and a few prayer requests

hebrews 11: I been really struggling over the past few days. I sat down to my quiet time and it was like, not for the first time, I felt like I was spinning my wheels spiritually. I opened up to my daily New Testament reading: I found myself in Hebrews Eleven. It struck me like [...]

living for Christ.

a life worth living: Jesus Christ, the perfect son of God, gave his life for wretched sinners who didn’t deserve it. How much more ought we to give our life to God who does deserve it? Sometimes I have to remind myself that Jesus wants all of my life, not just my hour here or [...]

for lack of something better to say….

a random thought: those of you who go to Christ Community Church have heard Pastor John’s sermon on the third Commandment: Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Pastor John, said, among countless other things, that one way we break this is by using God’s name in jokes, or in goofiness. [...]

proverbs thrity-one, sameul rutherford, and … gold?

mum’s day: giving birth to and raising nine kids… staying in a hospital for three months for the ninth… living for more than twenty years amongst griping, selfish, ungrateful little kids…living almost in poverty at times… pursuing an adoption against the most incredible odds… and remaining faithful to god and her husband through it all.

who am I?

a favourite song:
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Should care to know my name;
Should care to feel my hurt?
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Should choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart?
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you’ve done;
Not because of what I’ve done,
But because of who [...]
