Testimony Tuesday: Pray About It!
Recently, I’ve started praying about everything I’m about to do, or have already done.
I don’t mean I pray about every single thing, but most key things I do.
For instance: I pray before I start my Education – that I will remember what I learn and get good marks: I pray before I go for a journey – that I, and those with me, will have safe travels: or I might thank God, that there is food in the cupboards.
I try to thank God, after all the things I do.
One of the lessons I have learnt is to thank God for the jobs I have. One of them is hanging the washing on the line; I thank God that there are clothes to take out; that I am well enough to take the washing out; there is a means of washing our clothing.
Now that I pray before and after everything that I do. I have found that God is in more of my thoughts; I have a slightly better mindset of life and I don’t take things for grant...[READ MORE]...

S05E100, Baby Steps to Where, Andy B 2 Minute Video
How many projects end up being sold, in pieces, on eBay? From project cars to project kitchens, we all have those things we begin and never complete. But the worst thing we can ever do is to simply never begin something....[READ MORE]...

S05E099, Are You Humble Or Proud? Andy B 2 Minute Video
”Pride goes before a fall”. You ever heard that phrase? It’s actually taken straight out of the bible, from Proverbs 15 verse 18 and it’s another nugget of eternally rich wisdom that reminds us not to think too much of ourselves.

S05E096, Do You Accept Criticism? Andy B 2 Minute Video
I’ve worked alongside, or under, some great leaders in churches and in businesses, and voluntary organisations. And, sadly, I’ve also served around people who love to use their position to bully others and, the most successful approach I’ve seen to achieve this, is through creating grey areas of information and knowledge.

S05E098, Aim For God, Not For Good, Andy B 2 Minute Video
Goodness is a good thing. And it’s only natural to say that God is good. And, yet, describing God as good actually – on it’s own – devalues God, because He is so much more than just good! Yes God is good, but God is more than good and our word “good” can not describe enough of God’s goodness. It can only paint something of God. It is not the complete answer.

S05E095, Brain Management, Andy B 2 Minute Video
Being busy can be a great feeling. It can make us think we’re doing better than others we may meet in our life. But, the problem with being busy is that busyness can soon become just the next thing on a to do list. And that is never good when it comes to the relationships that matter most to us.

S04E005, Places To Pray, Garden, Family Prayer Time
Peter and JoJo continue encouraging us to pray as a family by praying in different places. This time they’re in the Garden or yard or any outside space.

Loved this chapter from a book written more than 100 years ago by a Welsh missionary to China.
"The brightest day in a man's life is the day on which the revelation of God as Father becomes a reality to the soul. Is God my Father? Then I know that He will never leave me, and that He can never forsake me.
Is God my Father? Then I know that there is no poison in the cup which He gives me to drink. It may be bitter, very bitter; but there is no poison in it, there is nothing in it to hurt me.
Is God my Father? Then, though nailed to a cross, I can trust Him, and will trust Him.
"Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit." Such was His trust in God on His cross; and such shall be my trust in God on my cross. Jesus knew the Father perfectly, and trusted Him implicitly. He did so with regard to Himself, and He did so with regard to His mission and work. If He believed, why should I doubt? If He trusted in God, why should I hesitate to put my whole trust and confidence in Him?"
@bethany thought it was worthwhile checking in with people
@bethany bey Bethany,
How are you doing?
You can't be late to a party like this one 😉. And, after all, [cheesy Christian joke warning] the first shall be first and the last shall be first
Andy B
@andyharris yes indeed 😊
@andyharris thankyou.
driving can be such a little lonely thing - when I was trucking around the UK I got lots of praying done
On Family Prayer Time last week JoJo and Peter were looking at places to pray, and praying in a car. Well, as part of a family car journey, they took their own advice!
