Marriage Matters, It’s A Balancing Act, S01E011

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MgZ2JpaTDs

In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo talk about the importance of honesty in marriage and being gentle. They speak candidly about how we can go from being supportive, kind and loving to our spouse to cruel and unkind and critical if we are not careful.

As always, Andy B steers the episode with scripture and explores the following:

Proverbs 27:5-6
Proverbs 27:17
Proverbs 5:3

Andy B and Jo make the point that there is a need to tell our spouse some difficult truths sometimes, whether it’s as simple as not liking what they wear or disliking their culinary delights or the need for our spouse to slow down, rest or stop working!

There is a balance to be had between being straight on the one hand but being gentle about it on the other.

What is it you do exactly?

Watching – Reading – Listening.

As a family, what we do has changed over the past couple of years since starting the BerryBunch. I thought it might be helpful for some of those who follow what we do to explain a little more about why we do what we do, and what that actually is and how it works and benefits you!

So grab yourself a seat, your favourite drink, and maybe a biscuit or seven (is that just me?) ‘cos this is good stuff and I don’t want to ruin by abbreviating it as I go.

It speaks of God’s provision and faithfulness to us, and all of that despite of us (or perhaps simply because of us)! [READ MORE]

Andy B 2 Minute Video, What’s gone has gone, S04E056

https://youtu.be/4Mz8_t5DqO8

Time. The one sure thing we can be certain of is that time cares not for how we’re doing. It doesn’t go faster when we need it to. And no matter how much we will it, it won’t slow down either.

Times marches ever on!

For our online Ministry we’ve taken to doing the bulk of our weekly filming on a Saturday. It doesn’t take up the whole day, but it saves loads of time overall. We’ve given that day over to filming our work – the editing comes later during the following week.

Sometimes things go well, and sometimes, well, they just don’t! And on our last filming day we watched the time racing away from us while we had to deal with numerous problems that cropped up. By the end of Sunday, our weekend had simply not gone as planned, and we were really tired! [READ MORE]

Andy B 2 Minute Video, when enough is more than enough, S04E0554

https://youtu.be/6nzxHUqczOs

It’s a great thought to seek to only give God our best. But we need to check whether giving God what we have, and making sure that is the best we can offer, doesn’t become assigning human values to what we think God will want from us.

While grabbing some time with Jo, Andy B drove her to work. This meant they had some time together while Jo worked a half day, that they wouldn’t have otherwise had together. [READ MORE]

Endurance, Honestly, I’m Fine, S4E05

https://youtu.be/shTSYKQWwnE

Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!

#GoDeeper

Andy B begins this week’s theme, “Honestly, I’m fine”, with a reminder of how skilled we can become at hiding our emotions through “Sunday smiles”.

He warns us that sometimes people will ask us how we are without really wanting to know the answer, reminding us to only ask a question if we are willing to hear the response.

#GoDo

Steven and Nathan challenge us to be honest with God and others, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Nathan quotes Ephesians 4:25, which looks at the subject of honesty with fellow believers.

And the two of them discuss Jesus’ perfect example of honesty, as well David, who wrote many of the Psalms, and the way he was honest with God.

Family Prayer Time, The Photo, S1E05

https://youtu.be/Bc3D4CB_tfA

Peter & JoJo get together to encourage us, as always, to pray as a family. And they continue their series on using common objects for prayer to help us stay focused.

This week, JoJo & Peter continue to inspire us into praying for different countries, nations, or places in the world by using, this time, a photograph. Peter and JoJo encourage us to find pictures of the landscape or scenery of the country or nation for which we want to pray.

With an authentic photograph of a beautiful snowy scene with a lovely wooden home at the centre, thanks to Tanja, Peter and JoJo pray for Finland.

Broken Dreams, and Hope! Now available on Amazon!!

A few reviews of the book we launched yesterday. So thrilled it is encouraging people!

“Small confession to make… I just finished reading your book! Finished in a day which is very unusual for me. A real page turner!”

“I read your book last night, it took a little over an hour. It was so good! Each chapter flowed into the next making it hard to put down.”

“Very good, Andy, I’m so very proud and honoured that I can hand this book out knowing I know this family.”

“Letting a person who doesn’t realize that pain and suffering is apart of this life and not something uncommon makes it easier knowing your not alone – life is indeed messy. “

“I love the way you spoke of hurt and abuse but never going into details that would have robbed the reader of their own inward pains and ability to take hold of the Lord’s extended hand – the hand that will never let go.“

Got my first direct message review of my book released today. Somebody bought it and read it in a day, which is something they said they didn't usually do. So that's made my evening 🙂 They said it is a real page turner and encouraging. Awesome!

After a day when nothing felt like it was going smoothly, that has warmed my heart quite a bit

Managed to publish my book today, Broken Dreams, and Hope!

1 minor error on the rear cover was picked up, so I'm still waiting for it to be published, but the eBook version is now available and I was super encouraged to see that selling already which made my day!

I've also had some lovely compliments from people who have already started reading it, and are loving it.

One good friend in the US has thought that they'd like to hold a number of the paperback versions with them - of my book (not something I thought I'd ever say) - to hand out to the homeless people she meets, with a bag of nuts, or raisins or similar.

And I've just finished the first edit of my next book, due out in May. 35,000 words, nearly 200 pages, of properly formatted and adapted writing, and made ready for a detailed edit from @TakeN who's proof reading skills are second to none!
