Maastricht - The Next Step

Well, I've sent off my motivation letter along with my CV now along with my choice of two jobs I'd like to apply for!

God has this now so I can just rest and see what happens...

Next stop Skype interview!

Our Praise Goes Up...

Hello!

Last week I looked at the immense power in one word, miracles, so this week I want to take a look at what our proper response should be when it comes to recognising those moments of wonder working power where God has come through...

60 Seconds of Faith - Episode #0051

Welcome to the end of another working week everyone!

I hope yours has been productive because I know mine has, due to the fact that I've been recording a few episodes of my broadcast to, again, get ahead of myself so that I can start putting in the proper preparation to the accompanying weekend devotionals.

This week I'm going to look at our, or what should be, natural response to the miracle working power of God...

A Change Will Do You Good II: Further Musings

Hello everyone!

As I write this, I'm currently listening to Luciano Pavarotti's rapturous rendition of Nessun Dorma and it gets to me every time because so many have tried to capture the emotion of this piece, but so few have hit it the way he did!

Anyways, I wanted to share some more thoughts on yesterday's post about a potential job opportunity in Holland...

A Change Will Do You Good

Hello everyone!

I'm just tapping this update out on my phone's browser because I can't really be bothered with firing up my laptop to do this.

It's been a while since I just wrote about whatever was on my mind, hasn't it?

I must admit from a recent admission I made in my own personal journal that I'm facing a life changing opportunity in the job market and it, naturally, is giving me a lot to think about...

Choices, Choices, Choices!

Simply put, if I make it through both stages of the process, I'll be moving out of the country.

For how long? Indefinitely as it stands.

It's in Maastricht, Holland, or as those in the know will remember the home town of my favourite violinist and conductor; André Rieu...

The job itself is something I have done before, but the real cushty nature of it is that it will be working for a very, VERY prestigious company!

Who that is with I'm not saying just yet, but it's funny what happens when you get your focus sorted; God's blessings of immeasurable proportions hunt you down and catch up with you!

I know what you're thinking, in fact it's the very same thought I've been having every day now:-

What about your crush?

Harsh Reality

It's harsh but I'm faced with, if successful, the choice between telling her before I go and not telling her. It's that simple.

It's still early days yet, because I've only just expressed an interest in applying, but it still doesn't stop the thought from chasing me down and getting me to look at IT instead of at God!

I know that, whatever I decide, God has my back, it is just a shame that there is no right answer between taking the job and not.

It came as a shock to one of my friends who I don't think saw it coming and, if I'm honest, appears to think I'm daft for even considering it.

But it's not about them, is it? This is a chance to work for a highly prestigious company that could forever alter my career prospects.

Final Thought

I, well, you could say that I don't know what to do but I think it all ties in with what my friend, Matt, said to me the other day:-

Yep, there isn't a 'wrong' answer, God will be with you no matter what so you don't really have anything to lose. I think often times God is quite happy for us to choose what we want to do. He has given us free will after all.

Wow!

That's the kind of friendship I need right now, isn't it?

Until next time...

60 Seconds of Faith - 50th Episode Special!

So here we are!

Fifty episodes in and today I've got a special surprise for you all as this week I'm going to be looking at the power of miracles in a believer's life!

Through this five minute episode, I'm hoping you will get a glimpse into why miracles are not only relevant but they are to be expected as we live our daily lives with Jesus.

Enjoy: -

The Old Identity Part II - The Rest You Take With You

Well, last week's devotional was certainly a bold one, wasn't it?

I'm getting used to this new expression of my writer's voice, I must say, because, ever since my "social media reboot" experiment, I have been posting nothing but, nothing but, nothing but stuff about God and what He's doing in me!

I'm not saying, by any means, that I'm super spiritual now, just that I am trying to be oh so careful what I let stick to me, as I described in the last post...

60 Seconds of Faith - Episode #0049

Hello everyone!

Well, I've had some potentially life-changing news this week, or at least it will be if I have myself put forward!

I won't share just what it is at this moment in time because I need some time to think upon this. As a decision, this will have (ED - not it potentially, it will!) life-changing consequences, so if you pray I'd appreciate it and if you don't, then as always send good vibes my way, because this has frickin' awesome potential!

When God moves, He moves!

Anyways, it's Friday so you know what that means...

The Old Identity Part I - Leaving Your Baggage Behind

Hello everyone!

First of all, let me apologise for leaving this posting so late because it's normally up by now.

I'll level with you and say that I'm struggling somewhat at the moment with an issue I'm really trying to cut down how much I talk about on here because my focus is supposed to be on Jesus and helping you to see that what He's doing is for not just my good, but also the greater good as well!

Onto this week's devotional and the power that is in our baggage...

60 Seconds of Faith - Episode #0048

Well hello there!

We're heading towards the fifty episode milestone, aren't we?

You could say that what I've got planned is quite... miraculous!

But anyway, that's two weeks away so here's the latest episode: -

This weekend is quite special because I'm planning on taking a look at the power that's in our baggage that we quite often don't realise exists. In the devotional, I'll be looking at the power, first of all, behind such baggage that can actually damage or limit our effectiveness on our God-given destiny in Christ.

That's the sort of baggage that should be left behind!

Next week, I'll be looking at how said power in baggage that we simply can't, or are not meant to, just put down or walk away from can be used by God. You'll be surprised what God can actually do with the baggage that's as much a part of us as our character traits are.

Watch the skies!
