A slice of Hope through the fog life brings

God can and will speak to you through many scenarios. In my case, it was through a film . What happens . The particular Jurassic park movie I want to relate to is Jurassic world. On a Friday my husband has a zoom meeting with some of his friends, and ever since he started doing this I've sat in the same room drawing. This particular Friday I was so ready to draw, yet while waiting for my youngest to go to sleep, God encouraged me to watch Jurassic world again (baring in mind i had just watched it a few days before). Naturally I was confused. Why is God asking me to watch a dinosaur movie? Instead of a faith based movie...  Am i that tired that I'm confusing Gods wants to what i like?. #it felt rather strange if I'm honest, but the nudging in me only got stronger, that, that was the film I was to watch. I wasn't going to complain as I just love watching all the Jurassic Park movies. Yet the part that that struck me and blew me away, wasn't till the end of the movie. ...

Matthew 14:25-32 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." "Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." "come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came towards Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith l," he said "why did you doubt?" And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. A bit of my story Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a storm and looking around all you see in chaos and no way out. Maybe like the disciples you thought you were never going to see the e...

Who am I...! am I enough? Well there are two ways we can look at this. On one hand, in our own strength we just can't make the cut in accomplishing the impossible. The bible says without God nothings possible (Luke 1:37). I mean, you could try walking on water, or raising the dead. But without God you're going to sink. He's the power to the miracles, signs and wonders seen around the world. The other way is more sacrificial, an act of love. You see, we're enough because Christ persisted to die for our sins. We're enough because we were made in Gods image (Genesis 1:27), and God doesn't make mistakes, he makes masterpieces (Ephesians 2:10) You could of got a degree, produced an album or become a well-known and well liked person. Yet still we find insecurities. I've never met someone who says "Yeah I'll do it because I'm awesome at this" this being whatever was required. When you talk to people there's always something interfering with th...

  When God wants you to share   I knew in my heart that I had to share something and I kept getting frustrated with myself, because I could feel God wanting me to encourage you all with something but I couldn't get the picture so to speak. You see I've had a hard time trying to understand how God could even use me. I even asked my husband what are my talents. He smiled at me, and said, "Sharon, your problems isn't that God won't use you, or that you aren't gifted enough. No. Your problem is that you think everyone else is good enough to be used by God but not yourself. I've heard you say why would he want to use me." my husband went on to talk about my faith and passion, but the point I want to focus on is the sheer fact that I've always struggled with who I am. I know what the bible says, I understand it's how God sees me, I've read it over and over. I just can't seem to live it. But why?, this has been a question that's haunt...

Where is God?? Life is like a bouncey ball, once it starts, it's all over the place and very unpredictable to where it will go or land next, yet one thing is for certain; it starts and it ends. I believe a relationship with God is like that bouncey ball, its unpredictable, you never quite know where he will take you and what he will show you next. There are times where you wonder if he is even there at all. It never really makes sense to why or what he is doing. Like a bouncey ball you don't understand the course of action its going to take, but one things for sure it's there: and it's moving. It won't stop until it has fulfilled its purposed and bounced until it has nothing left. Kind of like our life, we all have a purpose here on earth, we certainly have a starting point (birth) and an end (death) both of these are guaranteed. But what isn't is the middle bit. We don't know what kind of jigs and jags, zips and zaps, High bounces or low bounces lif...

It's quite bizarre the whole cross situation. Why anyone would willingly die for the sake of mankind. Even pilate deemed him innocent. Yet the life of christ was on the line of the yearly tradition the Jews came a custom to. The Roman governor would set free one prisoner of there choice. This guy knew they wanted him dead out of sheer jealousy yet out of fear of riots he washed his hands of Jesus's death and let them get on with it. Matthew 27 verse 24 New International Version When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!" It doesn't matter how many times you read the gospels it doesn't make it any easier to wrap your head around why jesus would do such a thing, knowing exactly what was to happen to him. Yet instead of looking through the small key hole that would be ...

Luke 2:10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people" Hope the anchor for our soul I never had a true appreciation for the nativity scene that is Christmas until recent years, this year in particular. I knew exactly how the story went, but never really took the time to get to know the one it's about. Yet in doing so, marked the greatest adventure of my life. You see Jesus isn't just some random guy the Roman's killed one day. He gave up everything that was his Godly power and came down to earth to live a life of serving not a life of honor. You see this whole testimony of Jesus is exciting because I don't believe people truly comprehend what he did. Picture it. A King, when you think of the word King, where does your mind take you. Here's what I've got: a palace, huge banquets, expensive jewels, clean and properly dressed. But not this King. No. This King, although he deser...
