Sometimes we can appear to have it all but lack the one thing we desire the most: happiness. I recently ran into a successful friend who on the exterior seems happy, but within a short few minutes she let me know that she’s actually not happy. How often do we give off the appearance ofContinue reading “Happiness – a fervent pursuit and fleeting fulfillment”

God’s Voice Sometimes Sounds Like A Trusted Friend
After a few messages back and forth Steph and I arranged a quite spontaneous but perfectly orchestrated evening. We began our evening with dinner at a community food program at a local church. The region puts on the dinner while the church lends its gym for the event. A group of volunteers prepare and serveContinue reading “God’s Voice Sometimes Sounds Like A Trusted Friend”
Awakened By Silence & Song
via Daily Prompt: Chaotic There’s nothing quite like collective silence. Whether you’re standing at a school Remembrance Day assembly as the Last Post is played on the bugle, or the moments before communion is served at church, there’s something special about collective silence. Silence makes some people feel awkward. At the same time, it hasContinue reading “Awakened By Silence & Song”

White Roses
It’s October and I’m making one last attempt at fixing the mess of my lawn. I haven’t a green thumb at all and I’m trying to ‘over’ seed to choke out the weeds. As I sit outside watching the sprinkler water the weedy mess, my attention becomes devoted to my grandfather’s white rose bush. FirstContinue reading “White Roses”
Welcome

GOD’S VOICE SOMETIMES SOUNDS LIKE UN-COMFORTABLE OBEDIENCE
During an afternoon lunch date I asked Angela if she hears God’s voice, and if so how does God speak to her and what does He say. I have to add this was after much chatting about ‘what’s new’ – I didn’t just dive into this question. I truly appreciate those friendships where you canContinue reading “GOD’S VOICE SOMETIMES SOUNDS LIKE UN-COMFORTABLE OBEDIENCE”
Who Am I Now?
Have you ever asked yourself “Who am I?” At different stages in life we ask ourselves this question. It’s usually a question we ask ourselves when we feel we’ve somehow lost a part of who we are. This tends to happen when we experience change in our lives. Our relationship status changes from ‘Single’ toContinue reading “Who Am I Now?”
God’s Voice Sometimes Sounds Like A Desperate Call to Love the Unlovable
Everyone seems to know where ‘the best’ restaurant is for Chinese, Indian, Thai, etc. Like everyone else I claim to know where the best Thai food is in town. The restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside, but what it may lack in curb appeal it makes up for in layered flavours of sweetContinue reading “God’s Voice Sometimes Sounds Like A Desperate Call to Love the Unlovable”
What Does A Straight Path Look Like Anyways?
What childhood dream did you have growing up? You may have to do a bit of memory recovery, and just like digging for a blue shirt in a mound of laundry retrieve your long lost childhood dream…take a few minutes to recover it. …now why aren’t you doing what you dreamed of? Either you wantedContinue reading “What Does A Straight Path Look Like Anyways?”
