All your promises are Yes and Amen!

I love walks on the beach to clear my head, pray and just generally reorganise the pieces of life in my head.

One thing I always remember from being a child was my grandad looking out at night and saying ‘Red sky at night, shepherds delight’. Meaning the red sky was promising good weather for the next day.

As I dandered pondering my many thoughts i looked to my right and saw this fantastic red sky, remembering that saying it reminded me that we don’t need to worry because God promises us good things will come for those who love him. After a few moments of feeling encouraged by that I looked to my left and saw this rainbow which reminded me that Gods promises are true. 

Definitely the encouragement I needed. Reminding me I don’t need to worry about the next few weeks, months or years because God has called it, he’s in control and his promises are true and his plans good.

Fabula Est Vestri - The Story is Yours. We all have a story, every single one of us has a story to tell. The thing is that s ometimes we get more concerned with knowing what our neighbours stories and sometimes we don't really care as long as we are ok. At times we get  so wrapped up in our own stories that we think no one cares or wants to help us. That we are incapable of help and that no one would really care but how we are feeling. But that's not true. For the past few weeks i've been preparing for the Christmas Season at church. Always a very busy time for anyone that works in a church with Nativity Plays, endless parties to "show up at", plus the added pressure of trying to keep the focus off the man in the big red suit and keeping it on the baby in the manger. It was when I was preparing for one of these services that God clearly spoke this message to me. It was all very strange how it happened, I recently found an old worship DVD I hadn't watched ...

"You Have Reached Your Destination" Written for  https://ballygowanyouth.blogspot.com Well here we are the last week of 2020, the last Wednesday of 2020 and our last Wednesday Wisdom Blog. I hope that you have enjoyed our weekly blogs and videos and that they have encouraged you on your journey with Jesus throughout the Autumn and Winter. It’s always helpful to hear from others as we navigate this journey of life to learn from their experiences and use them to help us shape our faith. Life is a journey and each year that passes is another chapter on our journey of life. Last week I went on a very different journey, one that should have been very straight forward, should have taken no more than 45 minutes but instead I ended up on an unexpected journey that ended up taking over an hour and resulted in a few scary encounters.  I set off last Tuesday evening to deliver Christmas presents to my friends for their kids. A journey that I had done many times before, one that in reali...

A Weary World Rejoices

"A Weary World Rejoices" Written for  https://ballygowanyouth.blogspot.com Well, guys there’s only two more sleeps to go, that’s right in just two more sleeps we will be celebrating the birth of Santa! I am of course joking. In two days time we will be celebrating and remembering the birth of Jesus in a cold, draughty stable over 2000 years ago. Whilst I joke about Christmas being a celebration about the birth of Santa I do wonder how many of us spend more time celebrating the present giving, the trashy tv and the fantastic food than we spend remembering the true reason for the day. For many of us this Christmas will be very different to what we have been used to, we may not be able to see the friends and family that we are used to seeing and Christmas parties are a thing of the past. In a year when everything is upside down and the world seems to be completely broken. I am reminded more than ever of the simple message of that first Christmas Day and the reason for God sendin...
