Trusting beyond my understanding

Trusting beyond my understanding

Why do I do what I do? If someone had told me five years ago that I would be serving with a non profit organisation while living on the opposite side of the world, I would have very much doubted them. But God didn\'t..

  • Bring on Spring Training. The people need their Pastime

    A \'pastime\' as a description is sometimes just not enough. Baseball across the globe and in particular America has shaped and evolved the way we think and interact further than just inside the diamond.

  • Porcupines and blowfishes

    Social media is rife with everyone posting their two cents, with each person trying to shore up their view in the wittiest, the most poetic and the most hard-hitting manner.

  • Mince pies and manipulation

    Picture this; in my continuing adventure entitled; \"Rosie attempts to talk to a good looking man and fails\", I have a new chapter to add on mince pies.

  • Fasting or self imposed torture

    With the Lenten season upon us many people have decided to give up something for forty days, just as Jesus Christ had done before beginning his public ministry (Matthew chapter 4 verses 1 to 11).

  • The Beautiful Contradiction

    Working at a Christian training centre, you hear a lot of what we in Christendom call \"testimonies\" which are personal anecdotes about God with some life application sprinkled in. Most of them range between pretty generic to straight up boring to a veteran churchgoer like me.

  • An Attractive Man

    A few Sundays ago, my friend and I walked to a little Thai restaurant after church and had dinner. Usually we go with a group, but that night it was just us. We made eye contact and laughed over things nobody else would find funny. Walking back to the car, he asked, \"Grace... can I pursue you?\"

  • A World without Consequence

    Over the last decade or more Hollywood has produced a multiplicity of futuristic films and what I have noticed about these motion-pictures is that while they speak about a distant future they underscore that mankind will not escape the consequences of original sin without a rebirth in Jesus Christ.

  • Think for Yourself: Don't always believe the experts

    Being a new parent I have enjoyed many new things, and had new struggles. However, one thing has become apparent: there are many people who have opinions about parenting, and there are many apparent \'experts\'.

  • Messages in paint

    There is a creative arts uprising happening in the Church across the globe—particularly in the visual arts. Every day my Facebook wall fills with mighty masterpieces of insight and truth created by many of God\'s awesome creative family.
