The broken vessel

Image
(This images was taken off of google, it is the closest image I could find to represent what God has been showing me) Dear readers! I am going to admit upfront you to that I have had a hard time with this one. In terms of understanding the direction in which God wanted it to go. So I pray that it makes sense and blesses you.  For a few weeks now I have had the same recurring image in my mind. Distinctive and bold this image is! I tried to draw it and capture what I saw to share with you all, but i couldn't capture the same beauty, splendor and warmth. The image I saw was a broken vessel. Yet, Inside this broken vessel a bright light shone, piercing the very cracks of the broken vessel. This light, so beautiful, so bright, broke the darkness around and turned this despairing imagine into an image of radiance and splendor. It was as though the light was the glory of God restoring this broken vessel (not to it's former glory) but to a new and transformed vessel.  This broken vess...

God on trial?

 God on trial!  This isn't an everyday typical title, but I knew it would grab your attention.  Time and time again I have heard people ask about "why terrible things happen?", "why do so called Christians act so hypocritically." This truly saddens my heart and not because I want to defend the faith. It saddens me because it is true! We find many people questioning the very existence of God or/and maybe even refusing to have anything to do with him. When we get to the core of the matter I have found it is because of the hurtful actions of those calling themselves Christians. I chose to use the term lightly because well there are people genuinely trying their best to live a life followed from the example of Christ but mess up. Then there are those who just act so harshly yet hide under the banner of the Christian label. The abusive power of miss used actions under the name of Jesus Christ/God is sadly not anything new under the sun! I wouldn't put it past it ...

It's eternity not just sundays

  Have you ever built a lego sculpture? I have, in fact I did recently. A titanic ship and a army war plane. I fully enjoyed this activity and would go as far as saying it's becoming a hobby. But I haven't done this post to talk about Lego, although it is how God chose to get a message across to me.  You see, building a Lego sculpture requires a lot of Lego bricks. From tiny squares to long rectangular one. All shapes and sizes are involved in the making of a beautiful masterpiece. The end result is very rewarding. Each intricate detail that are put together, every block, every pain staking moment getting the tiny delicate pieces together without accidentally breaking the whole thing; requires time, patience and effort. God is the builder in our lives. When we invite him into our lives he works with us, building on a new foundation that is in Christ Jesus. Sometimes it can be hard and painful, especially when we have someone to forgive/ a situation we need let go off, but the ...

Unbroken promise

 Hi everyone I know it's been a while since my last blog entry, you see God has taken me and my family through quite the rollercoaster. For a while I had writers block. I had no idea what to say but tonight while trying to sleep, I had a overwhelming sense to talk about the promises of God. I'm not going to start talking about the promises written in the bible all though each one is valid, beautiful and true on their own. What's on my heart are the unsung promises. You know, those you've been waiting for so long to come to pass. The ones where you could so easily just give up on. Them ones. Hallelujah.  Let me take you on the journey we've just had, and in fact we are still going through because the process isn't over. But the giant, daunting hurdle that was the be all or end all in the process, that's done and dusted. Hallelujah, praise be to God.  To make sense of the process we as a family have been through, it would make sense to give you the back story....

strength will rise!

Have you ever found yourself in the waiting zone of Gods plan to unfold in your life. Knowing in your heart that God has instructed you, of what is to come, what he wants to do in and through your life or what changes will unfold in your life. Yet in your mind all you see and understand is the chaos that is the reality of your surroundings. Does this bring some memories or maybe it's even a reality now for you. It sure was for my family. I know in my heart God is faithful, he always provides, his blessings are profound, his love endures forever and is always on display (I see his love in the form of a heart shape, I'll find that in the most random places yet each time it has the most significant effect on me; it's just beautiful)  so why do we find waiting around it's so exhausting? Naturally we are very impatient, especially in the society we are in now; where everything is almost instantaneous. So waiting for long periods like you'll find in the bible can be unthi...
