The Shack Movie Review                            The first time my Hubby and I heard this book was back about 10 years ago. We were driving to Queensland to spend time with family up there. We had purchased this book on audio so that we could listen to it on our drive. Well I can only say that this truly was an amazing listen and totally bless us in our journey. Not only in our journey of traveling up to Queensland but it also change and broadened our way of thinking so much, especially our Christian beliefs. The story was that good that when we were only 20 minutes away from our destination and still had just over ½ an hour of the story to go, we just had to pull over and listen to the end of it. So we found a safe place to pull over because it was 10 o’clock at night and it was dark, just so we could listen to the rest of the story. It really drew us in right up unti...

Taste And See That The Lord Is Good and Full Of Compassion and Comfort For Us All I felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to share this Bible art drawing today. Not because of the Scripture that I had used for this drawing but because this drawing speaks so loudly to me today.    Because through this week with the COVID-19 Virus restrictions easing just a little more for us Melbournians we have been able to catch up with some friends and family.

                                          We Have Not Suffered Alone.   1 Peter 5:6-7, & 9 6  Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.   7  Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 9  Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. I do love all that it says in 1 Peter 5:6-10 but in this situation verses 6-7 and verse 9 have helped me with my loneliness, anxiety, and deep depression. While in this time of isolation from the COVID 19 virus, I have suffered much loneliness, anxiety, and deep depression. A lot of the time just finding that I have cried a sea of tears. We have had friends die in this time and the hardest thing is not being able to v...
