    The Blessing of Simple Bible Reading

    August 9, 2019 / 0 Comments

    As a Bible student I spend a lot of time studying certain topics in the Bible in depth. I’ll focus on specific passages or specific doctrines and do a lot of studying and learn a lot about that singular thing. The problem is that sometimes I land up feeling like I am losing grasp on the Bible as a whole. I get so bogged down on the particulars of the story that I forget about what the story tells me from a simple read through. Today, while I was at a young adults Bible conference, I had the privilege of going through God’s word with a group of like-minded people…

    Happy Moments

    August 8, 2019 / 1 Comment

    Today was a fun day as I got to take my cousins to a theme park for the day. We rode many rides and it was their first time on proper roller coasters. I loved soaking up the sun and realizing that summer is on its way. As I sit in bed I am tired and my feet are sore from having walked more than 8 kilometers but I am grateful for the happy moments.

    Finding Just the Right Book

    August 7, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I am one of those people that is willing to read just about anything. I will try any genre at least once and I am usually not annoyed by clichés. I can enjoy books with bad writing if there is good plot or characters, books with underdeveloped if there is good writing or plot. Basically I am very easy going when it comes to reading. However, there are times in my life where I will come up with exactly the type of book I want to read and nothing else will do. This happened recently. I wanted a book that was fairly easy to read, with some feel good moments,…

    Run to Jesus

    August 5, 2019 / 0 Comments

    “That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord he put on his outer garment for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea.” – John 21:7, ESV After Jesus’ death he appeared to the disciples. In this verse we see how Peter reacted to seeing Christ again. He threw himself into the sea to get to Jesus as fast as possible. I think this is a great picture of how I need to react towards Christ. I need to be ready to fling myself into His open arms. My love for Him should…

    Bad Writing is Better Than No Writing

    August 4, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I knew this would happen when I committed to blogging for 100 days. I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon. It’s not that I’m out of ideas, I still have plenty roaming around in my head, it’s just that I’m out of the motivation or inspiration to put them on my page. Today I am writing and publishing a blog post. It’s not a good one but it means that I am still writing, and that’s better than not writing.

    Encourage One Another

    August 3, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Compliments are a big deal to me. Although words of affirmation aren’t one of my top love languages I still love receiving words of encouragement and affirmation from others. I think all of us do if we’re honest. Words can build up or they can tear down and we often don’t realise the length of impact our words can have, whether positive or negative. In fact, being a person who encourages others can go far in being a light to the world. People are attracted to positive, encouraging, joyful people. In following the biblical principle of putting off something and putting on another to replace it, we should be replacing…

    Lord Use My Personality

    August 2, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I was sitting at the table at my friends house, old enough now to be considered one of the adults but not quite old enough to be part of the central conversation. I was on my best behaviour, because my friend just happens to be the pastor’s daughter and her guests just happened to be missionaries who were visiting for lunch. In the middle of dessert, the missionary wife turned to my friend and complimented her on her gentle and quiet spirit and how she had such a calm way about her. I smiled, all the while thinking two things: 1. that was such a missionary thing to say, no…

    Follow Me as I Follow Christ

    August 1, 2019 / 1 Comment

    When I was 14 years old I went on a camp that I didn’t want to go on. It was a Christian camp with a bunch of people I didn’t know. I had been saved for several years by that stage but had just begrudgingly moved to a new church and was not very happy with God. I went on the camp to please my parents but I was completely determined to not have fun. On the fourth night of the five day camp I dedicated my life to the Lord and it changed me. I made the commitment that whatever God wanted me to do with my life I…
