You are expectant, right?
A clear topic that has come up in my spirit and thought in the last week, over and over and over again; “BE EXPECTANT!!!” My understanding of being expectant is not a pleasant experience, especially if I had to put it into context of the last 2 years. I have built a shield around myself…

If God is for us…
I grew up in the 1980‘s – 1990’s, in Boksburg, a suburb just outside of Johannesburg, in South Africa. I was fortunate to be raised by God-fearing parents. Even though my younger brother and I were very naughty through our teens and early twenties, God was always in awareness, never the center of our being,…

2020… The year of attending to cracks
I recently went to the Natal south coast (in South Africa) for a quick break, the intent was to reflect on 2020, and to seek and align my mind with God’s vision for 2021. I have huge excitement and expectations for the year to come, there are new ventures on the horizon, this after a…

What did 2020 bring to you?
Sitting and reflecting over 2020, a typical Old Testament fable. It would be amongst stories such as Noah and the flood, The Tower of Babel, The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Moses’ plagues and his wandering in the desert, Jezebel’s hunt of God’s prophets… A year that saw a plague, a year with tests and…

I heard Him saying… “Look at Me… Just, Look at Me…”
My laptop’s screen broke… YES, my parents also told me not to play with balls in the house when I grew up, but if you have a serious contentious wrestling match with your 9 year old daughter, you need to throw a soccer ball in the attempt to get away from a death grip… it…

I jumped to a conclusion… “I assume my interpretation was right… Right?”
I worked in Saudi Arabia as a General Manager for a Hypermarket. The first store I worked at was situated in the city of Dammam, which is an Egyptian community; most of the staff members were also Egyptian. The daily routine for anyone in retail store operations is to do a floorwalk of your area…

Can you smell it…?
I live in Benoni, a suburb just outside of Johannesburg in South Africa. We are in the middle of Spring, with the blossoms already turning into fruit. We are experiencing heatwaves of temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius, it is very early for such temperatures, and we are still waiting for proper rain. We usually have…

#ItsNotAboutUs – Crumb 5 – “Seek thy first…”
A few questions I asked myself and some friends over the last week… Do we get familiar with God’s presence? Is knowing He is around enough? How much time with God is enough time? What is the quality of this time? I have a friend that keeps telling me to not let the hunger dry…

I have a confession to make…
It’s been a month since my last blog post… I was busy with a series of blogs about #ItsNotAboutUs… I was at the point of “If it’s not about us, then who or what is it about?” During this period of almost 4 weeks I was knocked off my chair. The very thing I tried…

Correct that posture
I started working out a few weeks back, I did previously, but I have never been as determined and committed as I am now, mainly thanks to my gym partner and friend. I am being stretched out of my comfort zone in so many ways. I got a revelation this morning during a text conversation…
