Encounters

We live each day in the Spirit watching and waiting to see what God is doing and then we can join Him in His work. Recently at Easter I experienced my first houseswap and went to a seaside town on New Zealand's coast. There was a jazz festival on at the time and I went to the city centre to enjoy the music.

Later in the early evening I decided to eat at a resturant and listen to more jazz played by a band in the open air walking street. I eventually began talking to a couple next to me and after a short time the man asked me what I did. Of course I mentioned my work as a counsellor and then mentioned I also wrote books. He was interested in my KICK ADDICTION book for his daughter and also in my faith.

He asked me, 'Have you always been religious?' When I said 'No!' he wanted to know the story about how this changed and I had the opportunity to give my testimony. I have shared it in KNOW GOD MORE. I found Jesus beside the Red Sea in Israel (at the time) many years ago when I was twenty-one. If you want to know the story, which is fasinating, you will need to buy my book.

Here on holiday - a God appointment! God is wonderous!

New Beginnings

The holidays have been and gone and so now I sit once again thinking about God's surprising interactions with His people on planet earth. During my time away I reveled in His creation, absorbed His beauty and felt my soul and spirit refreshed by new surroundings.
This freshness, I am constantly reminded, is available every single day as I come and sit quietly in God's presence. Ignoring the needs around me, the noise, the thoughts in my mind, the hopes and dreams that constantly assail me I am left with God. His presence fills in a way that nothing else can. It embodies a fullness, a newness, a hope that never disappoints and never runs dry.
Every day, every moment as I walk in His Spirit this is available to me - and to you also. Great is His faithfulness.
