A spring of fresh water always awaits!

My psalm of the day says in its final verses: But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For you have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy.                                       -Psalm59:16-17 This morning this was a spring of fresh water to my thirst soul. Sometimes because of fear of people, upsetting people or not wanting to cause trouble or problems I slow down and alter myself to be..whatever is "better" or "easier" for whatever reason. Sometimes its out of my own laziness, other times its because I am being selfish, it can be out of fear of doing something wrong or saying somthing wrong and sometimes I just let what is aroun...

My life following Christ...

It will be two years this June, that I asked God to forgive me of my sins and wash me white as snow. I knew that I wanted to do this and mean it in my heart before this time, but I did not think I deserved His love and forgiveness and holding onto things of the world which I did not want to let go of...but as I looked for Him more and more as He called out to me and stretched forth His hand, at last I leaped into His hands. Since then, things have changed. Oh how I wish for those who do not believe or who have seen my life since, that I could give them a taste or an insight to life with Christ. I know it must be a little scary for those who love me or who know me at all to watch my life as it moves forward with Him. It is a different life. I watched the video of my baptism last night, it was in January of last year. It was such a great day in my life. Sometimes as things change around us and when we feel like things are out of our control, or we do not understand them, or maybe e...

For when I am weak, then I am strong.

The testing of our faith, the trials...to persever, to grow weary...finding our strength in Him. For the past four days I have been wrestling with my own heart. Battling with my flesh, pressing forward even though much of me just wants to stand still but I dont like to stand still, if there is one thing I dont like the most of all is not getting to know the Lord new each day and just giving into self-pity and this want to put a hault on time. Yes, life is ever changing and moves happen, new people come, others go! Yes, family are missed and friends too, and of course I dont have answers for people when I am asked where?... what?.. when? and Why?...but none of that is anything big when my vision is set on Christ. This morning I continued to read in Psalm, amidst Psalm44 there is a gem, in verse 8 it says:  In God we boast all day long, And praise Your name forever. No matter what is going on around us, or how we think we feel, we must be open for ...

He who has an ear, let him hear..

Good morning dear friends, today is graduation at the bible college here in Siegen. Three wonderful students are graduating after four semesters. They have been such a blessing to us all and I know God longs to and will blow them away with His plan for them as they diligently seek Him. Keep them in your prayers as they follow after Him this summer. For every other student graduating today, we all are going different routes, some back home to waiting family and friends, some staying on to help at the conference, others visiting my homeland Ireland, and for me in a few weeks I take my longest flight yet! One thing I have seen this semester, is that Gods hand is mighty and powerful. Flick open your bible to Psalm29, if you dont have one its all good cause you can google search it! I read this a month or so ago and was thinking over and over about David's words, look at verse 4 : The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty. ...

Continue to move forward with the Lord

Another morning... oh how I love them!   This morning I read Psalm 40 ,                                                    I waited patiently for the Lord,                                                   And He inclined to me,                                           ...

Trusting God daily

Stepping forward in faith, knowing the promises of Our Lord to be true, everlasting and will come to pass. Daily life with the Lord leads to many wonders and beautiful things for our eyes to see and our ears to hear. Each morning we can have a fresh time with the Lord, asking Him to lead our day, forgive us our sins and to cleanse us and fill us a new. What a refreshing God He is. Always faithful to give us what we need. This morning I am reminded that Gods ways are higher than ours and that we must seek the Lord while He may be found and call upon Him while He is near. Isaiah55 When God leads our steps, they can be so natural, then sometimes a step or even a leap of faith may have to take place. One day things may seem 'easy' as such and the next the same things seem crazy and not possible. However God remains the same on all days. He does not change and His ability to WOW us is new every minute of every day. The key is to seek Him while He may be found and ...
Its been a while since I've wrote but God's faithfulness, love and mercy still remains the same <3                 This past bible college semester has flown by! It has been a blast. I came back to Germany at the end of January to help at a conference and because of the provision of God and the kindness He has shown me through His children here in Germany, I have been able to stay on for my third semester of bible college.              It has been such a blessing to see His loving hand of provision each step of the way and His grace poured out, time and time again.                    This semester He has stretch, healed and lavished me with His love. I have met so many wonderful people this semester, at the college, in the church and also on the stre...
