God’s Timing
If this is your first time reading this blog, please do go read my blog on how to know if you are called to the mission field (click here). As I said in that blog, our conviction that missions was the way for us, came long before the time we actually started the journey. And […]
What is God’s will?
For me, Rebekah, I have always been fascinated with stories of missionary life. I loved biographies of the missionaries of old and they made me excited. My extended family also has a rich history of sending missionaries into many different countries. Finally, there was the sure knowledge deep in my soul that I was not […]
God’s timing
Hi Everyone! You may have picked up that I have not written a blog in a while. There has been lots of different things going on at home. I have also been praying about my writing and blog and I came to some realizations. 1) It is a passion from God. God has definitely given […]
Child – like prayer
Do you believe in prayer? I assume most people answered that above question rather quickly with a YES or an OF COURSE I do. So did I. But let me ask you a follow up question…. Does your life say you believe in prayer? The honest truth was that mine did not. My life reflected […]
Lessons from Facing the Giants
I know I promised this post last week, but life happened. I am sorry for the delay. I watched the Christian movie Facing the Giants years ago and I remember enjoying it the same way I enjoy useless rom coms which you don’t hate while watching them but which you don’t re-watch a million times. […]

Judge not
I have been asking God to show me the areas of sin in my life which I have become immune to; those sins that I have treated as acceptable or not too bad. It is not a prayer for the feint of heart! One of my biggest problem areas is in my judgement of other […]
Kidney Stones
We have had a difficult few weeks in our home. From the beginning of the month until now we have all been sick with three out of the four of us landing up in hospital. It was tough, to put it very mildly. One day I was whatsapping a couple who are friends are ours […]
Learned Desperation
I have been reading a book called ‘A Praying Life’ by Paul E Miller. It is all about how to incorporate prayer into our daily lives; how to prayer more; Biblical prayer etc. It is really interesting and I have been learning a lot. He speaks of the fact that the more anxious, over whelmed, […]
Camo or Lumo
When we were young, Naomi and I really enjoyed the Amanda Bynes movie What a Girl wants. It is all about an American girl who goes to England to find her dad who is one of the old school, stereotypical English gentlemen, and she is completely different. She tries to change herself to fit into […]
