I go to such a diverse church. It’s so diverse we have over 15 languages represented. We also have four different types of services to accommodate everyone’s needs, including a French speaking service.
Every one of us is different, from our background, to how we are brought up, where we come from, what we bring, what we do for a living, and so on.
But we all have one thing in common.

I struggle a lot to ask for help. It’s not because I don’t want it or don’t need it. I do need it. I’m quite confident and strong and very independent. I feel when I ask for help, all these qualities are taken away from me.

Ever since we found out I was pregnant with twins, we have been looking at how we can get our other children a little more independent. We know looking after twins with three other children isn’t going to be easy. Actually, it’s probably going to be down right hard work.
We needed our children to be a little more self-sufficient. I know it might help me in the long run, but it will also help them. As parents, we can’t keep following behind them cleaning up their messes. They will need to learn to start clearing up after themselves.
So, we started a routine with them. One which we hope will stay with them for a long time. Maybe even until they have their own kids in which they can pass their wisdom on to. Who knows? All we can do is hope and pray that what we teach our kids now, will stay with them and they will not turn from it.
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

Whenever we are praising God, or maybe taking part in a service, who is our audience? When you are raising your hands in the air, who are you most concerned with impressing?

In Matthew 15:16, Jesus asks His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied with, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God”. Jesus is known as many more names though, such as Teacher, Saviour and Healer. The list goes on.
Here are my thoughts on what I think Jesus is…
