Only simpletons believe everything they’re told! The prudent carefully consider their steps. Proverbs 14:15 (NLT) How often have you heard, just do what I say?! Or just believe me? I came across this Bible verse earlier on in the week and it literally blew my mind. So, you're telling me that God encourages us to... Continue Reading →
Hi guys, I’ve been struggling with what to post about, and really a lack of motivation so, please bear with me if posts are scarce right now. I’m having to really tap into my commitment tank to keep posting and sharing. I suppose the issue is that from what I’ve been learning, I’m not sure... Continue Reading →
The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. Proverbs 29:25 (NKJV) Wow!

So… lately I’ve really been thinking about my experience of God. Well it hasn’t just been ‘lately’, it has been for a few years now.
