Good news warms the heart, so why do we so willingly repeat bad news? There was a book, or rather a series of books, that I read over twenty years ago called “Chicken Soup for the Soul”. They were lovely books, celebrating the goodness of God, the goodness of people. I believe it is now…

Son-shine at the hairdressers Part 1
God loves hairdressers. He turns up in their salons regularly. I was at my local hairdresser’s several years ago. I was getting “sunshine” for summer. *Belle was my go to girl for nearly 8 years at this stage. She knew my story, and she had heard the story of many others who had overcome known…
Reaching into an empty barrel only to find more than enough
Sometimes we have nothing left in the tank. The sense of tiredness is real. Self care is essential, so as you read, balance the message with permission to rest. We reach into the empty barrel believing we have nothing to give; only to find an abundant flow. I was at kindy pick up for my…

Pulling back; stepping through… God is Good!
Collecting my 5-year-old son from kindy, I felt to pop up to the local shopping centre for a coffee and a donut. A regular ‘treat’ for the two of us. I had thought we were heading straight home. I was feeling tired, but sensing the prompting of God to go to the shops, I asked…

take the next step…
So often in our lives, futures imagined, dreams envisioned, must be laid down. In these moments we have a choice: do we allow God to direct our steps, even though we are at sea with disappointment and hurt? Or do we attempt to control it all, forcing our lives in the direction we think we should…
Stepping out in lockdown – God is Good!
Recently, as lockdown in Melbourne, Australia lifted somewhat, I headed out to my favourite organic store. I have known the current owners for 10 years or more. A few years ago, one owner told me she had received a diagnosis of kidney cancer, and was all clear. She had then regained her vitality with the…
And there was rain – God is Good!
This is a friend's testimony. It demonstrates how obedience, prayer and daring to believe can cause breakthrough for communities and areas of land. I hope this testimony is an encouragement in this time for all of us to continue to pray for breakthrough - for the rains of the Holy Spirit to come and demolish…
And he would love again because God is Good!
I wrote this testimony up a few years ago, but I never published it. I feel it's time to publish it now, so that it may serve as encouragement to those who are journeying something similar, to those that need to know that they are worthy of love, and of loving again, and for those…

The purpose of these posts is to declare and remember that God is Good! This is something that I have resolved in my heart - that no matter what ... God is Good! In the storm - He is there. In the calm - He is there. And - He is Good! God is ALWAYS…

Salt preserves – being community in the world … God is Good!
Yesterday I posted about the time I had to stop and breathe. During this time God came and nurtured me, and gave me a list of dot points to "do" (note: it is a high priority to "be" every day, before I "do"). One of my dot points was literally: "JMAB - skype lessons." JMAB…
