a PERSONAL journey from root to fruit

Learn as I learn about the glory of Jesus – through my questions, insights and experiences (both good and bad). I don’t hold back on honesty and expose myself while learning the truth. Be gentle with your comments and feedback!!

Honesty

I will always be honest in my testimony and my Blog Posts, even if I get frowned upon. God does not desire dishonesty. King David wrote poems about his despair and sin (Psalm 51), and Paul spoke openly about his weaknesses – sharing his “root” (struggles) to highlight the “fruit” (God’s work).

Learning

I write these posts not as one who has arrived, but as a disciple leaning daily into the grace of God. The journey from the root of baptism to the fruit of blessing is a process of growth, and I am acutely aware that I am still a “work in progress.” I invite you to walk this path with me – not just as readers, but as spiritual companions. I welcome your wisdom, your prayers, and even your gentle correction in love. As Proverbs says, “Iron sharpens iron,” and I hope that by sharing my walk, we can sharpen one another, learning together how to abide more fully in the True Vine.

Community

I am continually learning, and so doing so, I invite you to be my witness. Help me on my journey where you can through your own wisdom and advice – I am sure I will make mistakes on the way and will stand corrected. I believe in community, we are all Gods children.

Acts 22:16

And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptised and wash your sins away, calling on his name.

1 Timothy 5: 4

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.

1 Timothy 5: 8

Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Ecclesiastes 4: 9 - 12

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
