Unsung heroes

Bill Tutte - unsung hero who shortened the war. Nobody has heard of him, but he broke the codes for Hitlers code machine - 'Tunny' which superseded enigma.

How many unsung heroes save the world every day, save us, every day, without us knowing, because what they are doing must be kept secret.

How many times does God quietly, secretly save the world, and us, because he is humble and that's just the way he works.

I wonder if we will ever know.

When two or three...

I left the institutional church because was not helping my faith. I am convinced that I have made the right decision as my faith has grown over the last year. I am also convinced that being connected in loving fellowship with other believers is the environment that God intended for his new creations. I am praying that God makes that possible for my family.

A Holy moment

It was Sunday morning, and I had just finished a delicious cooked breakfast followed by toast, butter and lovely jam. I suddenly became aware of feeling so blessed and rich and aware of what I can only describe as holiness, a feeling of being loved and secure.

God saved my life then made sure I had my tea.

On Friday 24 September, I was just leaving mums to go back to chester, when my nearside front suspension just snapped. If this had happened on the motorway I would have probably been killed, and it also happened so close to my mum's that I was able to get my tea while I was waiting for the RAC to recover me. Amazing.

Freedom

The freedom in following Jesus comes from no longer trying to get him to do what we want, but to revel in his desires and his working.

Think about that for a moment. Can you even seperate what you think God wants and what you want? For me this is an invitation to sit down and see what Jesus is doing and see how He wants me to join in, or maybe just to applaud something he wants to amaze me with.

It was all over before it even started....

Heard somebody speak about Revelation 13:8 today. "The Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the World" Hit me right between the eyes that God had planned the rescue of mankind before Adam had taken his first breath. What an amazing God.

During a particularly testing time of our holiday, when everything seemed to be be going wrong, I found myself on my own, bodyboarding in the sea. I looked over at a 'perfect' German family, much like my own, with Mum, Dad, & two teenage girls. They were having a great time, all surfing perfectly together. I found myself longing for what they seemed to have, but then I heard a voice in my head that said quite clearly - 'Stop looking at them' I understood almost immediately that God wanted me to concentrate on my own life and not compare myself to others.
