Why

Since the beginning of 2023 I have been on a journey of rediscovering Jesus as my first love as in Revelation 2:4 AMP:

But I have this [charge] against you, that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love that you first had for Me].


This brought me nearer to Him in a most unexpected way but also left me with the feeling of “what if I live this life and die and go to Heaven, only to find out that there was more while I was still here on earth?” 


A week or so ago I felt this intense longing for someone or something.  You know the feeling when you are missing someone that you don’t even know?  Since then, I kept feeling that there is more.  I asked the Lord about it, and He said that I should not be looking to people, to my pastor or my friends, but I should find it with Him and in His Word. 


I see this blog as my journey journal to help me remember the things the Lord is showing me.  I invite you to join and walk with me.  I hope you will feel encouraged and that my journey will ignite a hunger in you for more.  More what?  More of knowing Him and everything He has for us - more wisdom, anointing, joy, healing, faith, the list can go on and on…


John 10:10 (b) AMP: I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].

This blog is my personal journey with God and what He is showing me.  If reading this encourages you, then it blesses my heart.  It should in no way take the place of you getting fresh, special and personalized Rhema words from God daily for yourself but should make you hungry to find your own “More”.

Rivers of Living Water

Have you ever wondered why, even though you have the Spirit of the Living God on the inside of you, you still feel like there is no life on the inside?   Like you are missing the “more” abundant life that John speaks about in John 10:10?     Yesterday the Lord showed me one of the keys to finding the “more”.   It is in John 4 from V14:  14 But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water [satisfying his thirst for God] welling up [continually flowing, bubbling within him] to eternal life.”  And in John 7 from V38: 38 He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’” 39 But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor). So i

Set Your Mind..

I am sure I am not the only one who feels alone from time to time.  People can leave you; friends move on, or circumstances and situations can make you feel like your life is overwhelming you to the point of despair.  In times such as this, have you ever thought about where God is?  He does after all say that He will never leave us nor forsake us. I heard someone tell a part of her testimony the other day.  When she was younger, she made the wrong friends, and these relationships soon made her question if God is real.  She seriously considered renouncing her faith in God.  At the time she was far away from home and felt all alone.  At one stage she sat sobbing in her room.  She didn’t say how she got out of the situation but shared that years later she asked the Lord where He was when she was going through this.  His response was that as she was sitting at her desk sobbing and staring at the wall, He was right behind her sitting on her bed.  Problem was that she was so focussed on her

Homeschooling Gracie

Image
I had Sammy before Gracie came.  Sammy was well trained and had degrees in obedience that she earned from Mr Green in puppy obedience school.  She was a great dog.  Her Schnauzer mom and dad would have been so proud as I can honestly say that throughout her life, she was all the dog she could possibly be. Then I got Gracie.  Her pure bloodline was questionable and turned out to be a fabricated story from a scheming lady who wanted to inflate her own retirement fund.  In spite of this, Gracie was a super intelligent puppy with all the potential to become a really great dog.   My dad was still here when Gracie came, and he helped me a lot. But when he passed, I didn’t have anyone who could help.  I looked online and found a German lady called Barbra who was an animal behaviourist and a dog trainer.  She started coming twice a week to homeschool Gracie who quickly learned obedience and how to walk with a leash.   One of the things she cautioned me about was that if Gracie did something w
