Jesus Died!
Listen to this short presentation today or tomorrow. Watch it with your children, your husband. Pass it on to others. It is about the fulfillment of the Passover...it is The Easter Story. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a11ASw5NRUw
Messianic Seder: Celebrating Passover
The Messianic Seder There are no set rules for the basic order of the seder. Just like with Thanksgiving dinner, traditions vary among families. In this chapter is an example of: 1.) a very simple seder with no specific readings. 2.) a traditional seder outline. This...
Are You Really Saved?
This will only take 5 minutes but it's good to listen to...and assess exactly what we teach our children. Are we teaching good manners, good behaviour? Are we trying to teach good fruit? We can't! We can't present the gospel message to our children...ask them to...
Messiah in the Passover
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand
Have I Been Educated?
Only takes about 3 minutes. I read this poem many years ago and it encapsulated our thoughts of educational philosophy. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZEMJubS8ac
Never Givin’ Up – Devotional
Never Givin’ Up Thoughts of a 12 year old girl “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” Joshua 1:5 This scripture spoke to me in a remarkable way. When I think of this song it helps me to remember that God will never give up on me. I ran as fast as I could to the...

News! We have a location
Whoohoo! We have a posting! John just called to say that we are indeed staying here in S.A. The last week has been tumultuous as one day things have looked as though we're staying and the next day it looked as if we were definitely headed for Darwin. Now there's...
Passover Overview
The name of the festival, Pesach in Hebrew, passing over or protection, is derived from the instructions given to Moses by God. Moses was chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. God commanded Moses to tell the children of Israel…

Spring Holydays
Three of the four spring holidays are celebrated within an eight-day period (Abib 14-21). The three spring festivals overlap or run into each other. The fourth and final spring feast is the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot or Pentecost). The Feast of Weeks is held seven weeks or fifty days following the morrow after the Sabbath of Passover.
The Shack
If you want to read a treatise on theology or religion then do not read this book. If you want to read a fictional account of one believer's journey from religion to an intimate relationship with God, then maybe you'll enjoy The Shack. Maybe. I wanted to know what all...
Weight loss with Green Smoothies
Just a quick post... John (DH) went back to the doctor yesterday. The doctor was really pleased and a little surprised with him. Why? John has lost 3 kg in weight and 4 cm from his waist! The doctor wanted to know how or what he had done to achieve this positive...
Waiting
I'm probably boring everyone to tears with my moving-not-moving saga but I did say I would post In Real Time. Today, John put in the paper for the 'powers-that-be' to look over. From this, they decide where we will be. Every aspect of our life (from location, housing,...
Choose…
Okay, my attitude is changing. Thanks for praying for us. I can't explain exactly how it is happening...but I can tell you where my mindset is now. If we fight to stay here, we'll still only be here for another 12 months...then we're off to another posting. Because of...
Town A or town B?
We were fairly settled in brisbane...but some family members were quite ill back home (in SA) so the army wanted to be supportive and sent us back home for a CoPas posting which is 12 months. That is up soon, at the end of March. However, John hasn't seen any...
Moving posts…
Ever written a post and wished you could delete it? Well, that's kinda how I felt about my last post. Not because I threw a hissy fit...I have done that previously with life and God, rather because it wasn't encouraging or informative. I did think twice about posting...
Throwing a tantrum
Okay I'm scared. I'll admit that I'm worried. I'm confused. And I'm stubborn. We've only been here for 12 months. I'm not ready to leave. The children aren't ready to leave. We have lives here- commitments, relationships. I like being back home. Yeah I know I didn't...
How Do We Parent?
When I see the way that God parents me I am more able to parent my children in love, in grace…with discipline as it should be – loving discipline. Discipline that restores, not tears down or breaks hearts. Every action the Father does toward me is one of restoration, although I don’t always see that at the time. But it is. That is His nature and I trust Him.
