Christianity.. the final box preventing simple relationship between Christ and creation.


Sometimes I sit and think, or lie in my bed at night and think.

Thinking about it, it is true. Christianity has become this comfort zone for a lot of people against going to hell. Like, I call myself a Christian, I sometimes read the Bible and go to church. I listen to the preacher and sermons, sometimes I understand it, but I cannot relate to it. We get into the Christianity box and we are safe.

 But we do not learn to speak to God, to relate to Jesus, to really, really have a relationship with God. We have joined a social club called the Christianity Club, get together once a week and get entertained.

What I learnt during my time in Mozambique is, "search first the Kingdom of God" the rest is not important, you must have a relationship with God, nobody else can do that for you. We need to get out of our safety zone (box) and trust God for something. But we do not trust God, we rather trust in things we can see and touch, in ourselves and in others because trusting God meaning giving up control.

When I am busy preparing something, I do not have time to thing about anything else. Cooking sort of became a necessity because my wife got provincial colours in Taekwondo and is preparing to attend the World Championships. She would take the meat out of the fridge in the afternoon, or start the dish and quite often I would prepare what I like or finish off the dish, ready when they return from their training session in the evening. But my cooking did not start off by accident. I spent two years in Mozambique as an expat where I had to cook for myself, and there I learnt the usefulness of a slow-cooker. Then in June 2014 I experienced a episode of burn-out. Big Time! Burn-out occurs when you are under prolonged stress and is characterised by total exhaustion, (physical, emotional and mental). You tend to loose interest ...
