Welcome

all of us!

Thanks for stopping by! Our purpose here is to write thoughts, happenings, musings, and share a taste of our life. We hope you enjoy! Ian and Deborah.

Spending time

Reflections on how I spend my time are very convicting. Plenty of "stuff", not much quality, that's my assessment anyway. As a team we are being challenged to spend more quality time with God in prayer and see Him increase our productivity! Sounds an interesting concept with a few daunting/exciting implications.

First up I will not be as in control as I am with the outcomes. Surely this is a good thing, but hard to let go of in my heart. God results need the release of mans hands.

Second it means I will not feel as productive, no matter what the reality is. I enjoying doing. It is rewarding to work hard and finish a task. However a few of the jobs I have done recently have made it clear to me that even the most practical of jobs has a huge spiritual impact. I have been frustrated and worked hours on a project onlyto stop, pray, and find the answer fall onto my lap!

So I guess I am asking the question: when is less more?
