I was listening to one of Myles Munroe's teachings and he was talking about the fact that only a manufacturer can really determine the true identity of a product. In other words, only what God (your Creator) says about you is valid; everybody else's opinion should be taken with a pinch of salt because, frankly, … Continue reading Day 20: Grateful for My Identity in Christ

Day 19: Thank God for Your Job
This one is quite close to my heart. I was that person who periodically complained about my jobs - it was either not challenging enough or too stressful that I was left spinning on my heels. But the longer I spend on planet earth, the more I realise that there really is no perfect job. … Continue reading Day 19: Thank God for Your Job
Day 18: Thankful for Growth
I'm a year older today and although there are MANY things on my bucket list, I'm also incredibly aware of how far I have come. I could pray and ask God for more stuff but what's the point? I've got clothes collecting dust in my wardrobe since Zoom took over our lives in April. I … Continue reading Day 18: Thankful for Growth
Day 17: Thankful for Freedom
So many conflicts and protests have erupted this year amplifying the truth that still too many people groups are not fully free to live flourishing lives. There's still a lot of work to do but if we know anything about history, it is that human beings have come a long way. The pace of change … Continue reading Day 17: Thankful for Freedom
Day 16: Thankful for Simple Pleasures
A funny meme Laughing with your partner/friends A good book 24 hour power supply (if you have it) - trust me, this ain't a simple pleasure for billions across the world. A very funny Trevor Noah clip 🙂 A walk in the park The subtle tones of yellow and orange on autumn's leaves A nice … Continue reading Day 16: Thankful for Simple Pleasures
Day 15: Thankful for Friends
We're halfway through our 30 Days of Thanksgiving! Amazing! I think it's fitting we mark this halfway point by expressing deep gratitude for our friends. "A true friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need" Proverbs 17:17 TLB Friends that stay on the phone with you for hours … Continue reading Day 15: Thankful for Friends
Day 14: Thankful for Nature
I think everything I might have to say about the topic of thanking God for the majestic world He created has been beautifully captured in Hillsong's 'So Will I.' I'm not sure I could listen to this song and not burst out into spontaneous praise at the wonder of the natural world and the intentionality … Continue reading Day 14: Thankful for Nature
Day 13: Thank God for Encouragers
Ever so often we meet people who help us see through our self-doubt and challenge us to dare to do the impossible. They are a special brand of people called 'encouragers.' We work with these people, attend church with them or even live with them. Sometimes, our encouragers are people we've never met physically, people … Continue reading Day 13: Thank God for Encouragers
Day 12: Thank God for Opportunities to Serve
Yesterday, we expressed our gratitude for frontline workers who have put themselves in harm's way to keep us safe in 2020. Today, we're going to thank God for the many opportunities He has given us to serve others this year. I'm thinking of the mothers and fathers who work night and day to make sure … Continue reading Day 12: Thank God for Opportunities to Serve
Day 11: Thank God for Everyday Heroes
I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say that public sector workers have been the real MVPs this year. I think it's fitting for us to pause and thank God for these heroes who don't wear capes but do amazing things (I'll save the rant about their pay conditions till another time). While I … Continue reading Day 11: Thank God for Everyday Heroes
