Choose faith, not fear

  • 5 ways God speaks to us today

    As many of our family and friends are aware, my husband and I are expecting our first child in July. Of course like every new parent, when it comes to baby names, we have intensely debated through endless lists, hardly both agreeing to one name instantly.

  • Cyclone…shaken but not stirred

    Over the past couple of weeks our eyes and ears have been exposed to the news of the devastating onslaught of numerous cyclones hitting land across the Pacific.
