To be a man after God's own heart. Then to lead, labour, inspire and encourage others to be the same
Earlier this week I was struggling to do my workout. I just did not want to do it. So instead I spent a long time thinking about writing up a new workout plan instead. Perhaps I needed to go for another P90x run through…then I thought about how I’d need a new pull up bar…so…
Since re-starting my blogging endeavours, it’s not taken long to appreciate the familiar benefits. Encouraged to learn more. In order to continue writing it helps to have fresh material. Becoming a life long learner is also one of the ways that I pursue God’s heart – through a posture of receptivity and learning. Encouraged to…
One of my favourite ways to connect to God is through worship, for me this goes back to my teenage years. It was in a moment of worship that I encountered God and believed that He had a plan for me. It was only when I reached the age of 18 that I started delving…

Apologies, had a very chilled out weekend, and didn’t want to spoil the lazy days with some writing effort.

Lockdown rules are slowly lifting and we can…

It takes faith to keep the Sabbath. We need faith that God is going to look after our work while we rest. He is in control and never grows weary. We need faith that God’s timing is right. As Gandalf said a wizard is never late nor is he early. Sometimes we are tempted to…
I didn’t get round to tracking the exact locations of each of my readings this week. But I’m using Luke as my NT, and Deuteronomy as OT, didn’t get anything too significant from the Psalm/Proverbs passages this week. As usual, my three favourite things: OT – Be grateful and remember God in the times of…
