For many years, we have been living and investing in a property with only a short-term lease. This means that we only have any certainty for 30 days. Nonetheless, we have continually invested in improving the house. We have learned to make it our home, trusting God for tomorrow. It’s not easy living in this… Continue reading Short-term lease
How good are you at arriving on time? Or completing a job on time? Some people are better than others. But what about God? Is he precise in his timing? “In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will… Continue reading Act 17v30-31 – To the very day
Have you ever read a book and been disappointed with the ending? Well, what about the greatest story ever written – the Bible?

But it’s… Continue reading Rev 22v20 – Choose your ending
I have often laughed sardonically at the names places are given. A new housing estate is called Sunset Estate, yet it does not have a view of the sunset.

I recently stayed in this incredible, unique stay; everything about it was perfect. Best of all, it was far from any civilisation and completely immersed in God’s nature. However, there was one issue: the water from the taps was borehole water, and it tasted like we were drinking salty soup. It left us thirsty and… Continue reading Joh 14v13-14 – Sweet water
It seems like it’s a day always in the future. Sure, it will come, but one day in the future. And then, slowly, slowly, suddenly, it’s here. The wedding day has arrived.
