Sharing God's heart through poetry, prose and prayer
On this page, you will find weekly devotional articles which I hope will challenge and encourage you on your journey.
His Promise Still Stands
What promises has God made to you? It is in times of trouble that we need to remember his word to us. “Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.” (Joshua 21:45) Yesterday I was listening to the beautiful song “Do It Again” by...
Always in Reach
During the times when you feel most cut off, most isolated, God is there. “I am with you always even to the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20) In summer we love to venture out into BC’s beautiful mountains to hike and camp. It is so good for the soul to get out of...
Look at the Birds!
“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” (Matthew 6:26-27) Outside my kitchen...
Just Trust Me
“Don’t be afraid! Just trust me..” (Luke 8:50) The current Coronavirus pandemic has ushered in a time of unprecedented uncertainty and anxiety for the world, as we seek to navigate life through constantly changing news, statistics and recommendations. Each day we hear...
Some Things Never Change!
In a world that is ever changing, God never changes. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) If you have children or grandchildren, you have probably seen the movie Frozen 2 at least once if not several times! The movie is full of...
Banishing Serpents
Just as St. Patrick and St. Michael banished serpents into the sea centuries ago, so we too may have some serpents to expel. "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you." (Luke...
Fearfully and wonderfully made
Even our molecules tell the story of salvation and contain a diagram of the cross to show us the way home to our Father. “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Psalm 139:14). The physiotherapist...
The parable of the property and the politician
The enemy wants to trap you, steal your property and destroy your giftings. Stand firm, resist and he will flee. “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your...
Discouraged? Do it anyway!
“It is Me they are rejecting, when they reject you…” “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ (Matthew 25:40) Life can be discouraging. Living in a far from perfect world, we...
Not Yet!
There is work God has yet to do in your life. There are gifts God has yet to give you. There is growth and healing you have yet to experience. “And you have put him in complete charge of everything there is. Nothing is left out. We have not yet seen all of this take...
