Meaning out of Meaningless

Over the last few weeks I have been asking for God's help for clarity (mind), passion (heart) and capacity (strength) regarding family and work issues present and future.

In prayer I felt directed to Ecclesiastes. I found much answer despite the opener by the Teacher...."Everything is meaningless" and  laughed with the line, a miserable business!

Breathe reading 7/12/2012

I am presuming this is a mistake and should be 'Ezra 3 v1-13'?
It's a good passage and makes me think of our building project.
Verse 11 - Nice one.

The poo, the fan and the naughty step

Hi all,

Do you know what, I am loving this whole Creation to Christ in 147 days thing. For the first time I am beginning to appreciate the different bits of the Bible actually in the context as it is written, rather than looking at the verses in isolation.

Transforming gaze

I have been listening to a song written by Ian White a lot recently and it has meant a lot to me.  Thought I would share it with you all.

A Word from Habakkuk - Breathe Reading 20/11/12

Yesterday, The Lord lead me to read the whole book of Habakkuk so that I would get a clearer understanding of what the Prophet was facing.

Although I have had teaching on the book, and have read it several times before, I found myself engaging with it in a new way.

God at work in the "Real World"

Hi all,

Just thought I would share something very encouraging.  I work as a dietitian for children who are pretty poorly which is a privilege but also very difficult at times.  During the 24/7 prayer week I was losing quite a bit of sleep over a couple of my young children who were struggling to tolerate their special diet through a tube.  It had felt I had tried everything and I was running out of ideas.
