10 hours and 10 days

By on August 5, 2010 in Musings

How I steward my time on a typical week. I recently calculated how many hours there are in a week; there are 168 hours in a week. I then calculated how I spend those hours:- 56 hours – sleep (based on 8 hours a day) 40 hours – work (not including overtime) 10 hours – commute [...]

Struggles of Being a Single Female Christian Missionary

By on July 7, 2010 in Jesus' call on my life, Jesus' work through me, Musings

Okay… so a correction…I’m not sure whether I can be classed as a missionary per say, but otherwise I fullfill all of the above; I am single, a female and a Christian. Desires I have a huge desire to want to help plant churches, an intense desire to want to go someday. There are ministries [...]

Dropping the Proverbial Fishing Net

By on June 25, 2010 in Jesus' call on my life, Jesus' work through me

So… I’ve recently had a meeting with my pastor… where he, in a nutshell, alluded to and asked me to prayerfully consider immigrating to Canada, to be a missionary and help lead a small team of young female adults and future church planters. My heart is humbled at the offer, and the Lord knows where [...]

Apologetic Art?

By on June 2, 2010 in Musings

Can good art be made out of good theology? It feels as if it’s been years since I’ve been in an artist community, a place where ideas were bred and art was born. I’m in a different environment now, and the ideas that once influenced, the concepts that pretty much entangled me are much more [...]

Frankie and the Fish

By on May 22, 2010 in Jesus' work around me, Jesus' work through me

Now I don’t normally go around taking food from the homeless… but I did with Frankie.
There was a trout, freshly gutted and cleaned wrapped nicely in a BC liquor store bag. He hugged me and I hugged him back and he wished his blessings and prayers for me. I was stoked! I’m not sure who was more blessed in that moment. He told me to cook it wish some butter and it’ll be tasty, so the next day I did exactly that.

Frosted Fleece: How Jesus confirmed by calling

By on May 10, 2010 in Jesus' call on my life, Jesus' work in me

How the Lord affirmed my calling…
It was as if he just gave me the thumbs up to say, “Yes! this is exactly what I want you do to and this is exactly what I have put in your heart and I’m going to do it for you and through you. You have my support, I will not let you go out unequiped and not-ready. Your life is ordained by me and I will bring it to pass”.

My Grand Weaver (Part 1): How I ended up in a nowhere town of BC

By on April 30, 2010 in Jesus' work in me

How I ended up living in a town in the middle of nowhere.
It was there and then my heart leapt. I came across a new site I hadn’t visited or seen before, it was a brand new church plant in Squamish, of all places, and the planters and pastors there had blogged about going to Seattle for a [esvignore]Acts 29[/esvignore] church planting conference. My heart and spirit leapt!! I was very excited about this plant!

Rebirth: How Jesus Transformed my Life

By on April 25, 2010 in Jesus' work in me

I felt really stupid, as if I was talking to a figure of my imagination. I spoke aloud at times, and sometimes simply in my thoughts, “God if you are real show yourself to me”. I can’t remember all the specifics of what I said and thought in that moment. All I remember is that [...]

Stone to Flesh: How Jesus Changed my Heart

By on April 20, 2010 in Jesus' work in me

I didn’t do anything and I was seeking nothing. Nothing changed in spite of the traumas I had been through. Even in my desperation I did not even attempt to seek him

Something stirred in me, and it led me to seriously re-evaluate my future, my past, and my sense of morality. I began to question what was right and wrong again, and I was angry at the thought that I could be wrong. Memories or all I had learnt from Sunday School as a child, every law, seemed to waft in to my mind. I was very troubled at the idea of being wrong.

Lust for Love & Love for Lust: My Life before Jesus

By on April 14, 2010 in Jesus' work in me

I ended up in a serious situation where, having completely mutilated the idea of what real love and intimacy is, I deferred my university education for year, lied to my parents and left the country to live with a man I had barely met half a dozen times to pursue a sexually driven lifestyle.

In severe debt from my spending habits, I dangerously became financially dependent on him. I left the country to take time out, to find love and in turn I had compromised my safety, my health and my relationships. I sold myself out for holidays, for money and for what I thought was love.
