    Life Update. Including a Soon-to-Be Wedding!

    April 28, 2021 / 0 Comments

    The last time I wrote or published anything for this blog was in September of 2020. Life has changed so much since then but it has been too busy for me to find the time to write. I even promised a friend a blog post that I just simply never got to (Kate, if you are reading this, I am sorry) because life became about priorities and writing was near the bottom of the list. A New Job God worked so wonderfully in my life towards the end of last year. I was starting to feel some anxiety about the fact that I was nearing the end of my degree…

    Hi, My Name is AJ

    August 18, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Hi, my name is AJ. It’s nice to meet you. Let me tell you some basic things about me. I am a 23 year old woman who lives in the beautiful country of South Africa. I am not a missionary kid, I was born here and so were my parents, and so were their parents. I like the colour purple and I like to eat out of yellow things. I like to read, and to read about reading. I am a crocheter and spend many hours making items in front of the TV. My favourite shows are Friends and Gilmore Girls or true crime documentaries. I don’t like to exercise,…

    Walking in a Manner Worthy to Our Calling

    May 28, 2020 / 1 Comment

    “Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called” Ephesians 4:1 (ESV) “Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” Colossians 1:10 (ESV) This word worthy is used to mean “as if you deserve it”.   “Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord”, boils down to: you have received God and His gift and now walk as if you deserve it.  As Christians we know that what we deserve is death because of our sin (Romans 6:23) and that the eternal life which we have received is not…

    Why Should I Care About God?

    May 21, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Sometimes we think of God as a far off being who takes no interest in our lives. We don’t think of Him as caring about our worries, desires, problems, and joys. We know that Jesus is supposed to be our best friend, God like our daddy; but this is just head knowledge that doesn’t serve us very well when deep down we think that God is actually just waiting to catch us out when we do something wrong.

    Oh You of Little Faith

    Who do you trust in? Think about that seriously. Do you trust your mom, dad, husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, best friend, cousin, teacher…?  Do you trust God? If you said no, I would encourage you to read this But I would guess you said yes. I mean after all, most of the people reading this blog have made a major decision: the decision to trust in God for their eternal salvation.  You have decided that for a future you cannot see, cannot know about with absolute certainty, cannot fully comprehend because our entire human mindset only views that which begins and ends. You have trusted God for that eternity believing…

    The Humanity of Bible Characters

    March 2, 2020 / 0 Comments

    When I was a kid, I had a belief. You might think this belief is weird or strange or doesn’t make sense. But I had it, nonetheless. My belief was that I was the only real human being in existence. Everyone else around me, including my parents, were robots.  Why this huge amount of robots? Well, because God didn’t want me to be lonely so he provided me with some company. Also, don’t worry, I always had a good theology and so of course there had been another human on earth at one point and that was Jesus Christ (the incarnation is important). So why did I think that other…

    How I Am Choosing to View This New Year

    January 13, 2020 / 0 Comments

    We are already 3 weeks into the year 2020. If this had been previous years I would have long forgotten my New Year’s resolutions by now and I would be back in the slog of doing life exactly the same way as I had been previously with not much improvement on myself or progress on my goals. This year I treated New Year’s Resolutions a little bit differently.  As 2020 approached I actually didn’t have any idea what my year was going to look like. I had been pursuing an internship with an organization close to my heart but I didn’t know if I would actually get into that internship.…
