I read this excellent short devotional today:
“Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” 1 Peter 5:6-7

Be full of confidence not in yourself or what you can do, but in the Lord and what He can do. Your life, once given to Him, is in His hands, not yours. Live in His strength, not yours. Depend on His resources, not your own.

“Do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.” Hebrews 10:35.

How do you cast your care on Him?

Get out your “fishing pole of faith.”
Tie a hook to the line of your fishing pole.
Take all your cares and put them on a hook.
Cast the line as far as you can into the sea of God’s faithfulness.
Cut the line and leave them out there.
Take “I can’t” out of your vocabulary, and replace it with “God can!”

Marriage Matters, Season 1, Episode 1, Longevity and the 'D' Word

youtu.be/2zabfsdn8DY

Andy and Jo kick off this brand-new series of Marriage Matters, looking at how we keep going and they go there – they talk openly about the D word – Divorce!

No way, I hear you cry - and the unmentionable on the first episode as well!

How can Andy and Jo talk about a lasting marriage, and Divorce, in the same episode, in the same sentence – this all sounds like Marriage Madness, not Marriage Matters. Or is it?

Join Andy and Jo to see what we can do to go the distance – ‘til death do us part’. Tune in to see for yourself what Andy and Jo do with the D Word.

What would you do?

How do you keep going?

What’s your plan?

Do you have a Plan B, if so, does it detract from Plan A?

Andy and Jo

One of our disciple mentoring location has poisonous snakes.

It is possible that some of our disciples let the stick they carry around, fall on the snakes.🙈🙈🙈😁

@MaryMamuzich (hit enter too soon) we don't get to the places with snow. they tend to be too far away

someone described that move as like giving birth - you know it's going to be pretty traumatic and painful, but also that it'll be worth it in the end

that's the same move Peter nearly got hypothermia (the heating didn't work so we had to abandon the house and go seek a hotel for the night - the heating system needed 2 x AA batteries, I joke not! the control panel's batteries were too flat to talk to the boiler to make it switch on!)

Jo and I had to carry every box down a 30 foot, icy, snow covered drive (couldn't get the van on it)

Steven and Nathan had to then carry the boxes from the front door into the lounge - they were only 7 & 8 years old at the time

and I'd had flu the day before (2nd time ever in my life) and we'd had to call the police to deal with our previous landlord the day before too...

God was good and we got there in the end!!

we had a great 4 years there!

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." -1 Peter 5:6 ✋🙇🙏😇⏰

@MaryMamuzich @tanjaostman i'd like to SEE snow

since moving to the south of the UK, snow is just a distant memory

we used to live in a place called Stiperstones (in Shropshire) (cool place, just up from a hamlet called "Snailbeach"; beautiful place where we saw the clouds BELOW the level of the mountain that our house looked on to

we moved in during a time when all the local 4 X 4s had given up trying - we were moving, and our 'friends' had given up on helping us - since it was snowing we had to move anyway and managed to get up in a transit van (a panel van?)

we were above 250 metres, and i'd always ignored that part of the weather forecasts - above 250 metres and snow is simply a normal part of life!

we're now virtually at sea level............
