Directions

May 4, 2024

What gives you direction in life?

What gives me direction in life? Jesus. A simple answer to a big question.

Before Jesus I lived life for myself and just did what I thought would make me happy at the time. But if I am honest there was no real direction or purpose.

After reading the Bible and coming to know Jesus a path opened up. It was like I heard Jesus’ words to the disciples, “Come, follow Me”. A new direction and purpose followed.

Like the image above, Jesus is my compass and my true north.

Our amazing earth

April 26, 2024

I read this in one of my devotionals I do today. It talks about our amazing earth that God made for us…

‘The sunrise is so consistent that we take it for granted, but few things are as miraculous as the celestial dance that takes place on a daily basis. The earth spins on its axis at a speed of 1,000 mph. And while it rotates 360 degrees on its axis every twenty-four hours, it is also hurtling through space at the unimaginable speed of 67,000 mph. You may not have any big plans for today, but you will travel 1.6 million miles in your annual lap around the sun. Quite an accomplishment!’
