Lesson Three: Who am I to think I can get away with my disobedience effecting only me?

October 13, 2020/ Neridah Morris

In really simple terms, my disobedience cost me more because the sandwich I purchased was $7 versus the cost of a coffee for $4. It cost me more because there were a number of people eating lunch close by when I went to give Graeme his sandwich who would have seen Graeme’s rejection of my offer, versus earlier in the morning no one being around (there’s also a lesson to be learned in doing things in secret for the glory of God versus in the open for the praise and adoration of men).

Lesson Two: Who am I to think I can improve on the execution of God’s plan?

October 06, 2020/ Neridah Morris

God’s call or request is not a suggestion. It is not up for discussion. God doesn’t need your two cents. What God needs, is your action. Your willingness to go when He calls you. Your willingness to be interrupted. Your willingness to acknowledge your life is part of a greater narrative being worked out and your willingness to follow God’s call is critical to how God expresses His love in the world.

Lesson One: Who Am I To Think I can Improve The Timing Of God?

October 01, 2020/ Neridah Morris

I naively (and unconsciously) thought that I could improve on the timing of God when in reality what I was doing was stalling. I was procrastinating. I held off because I had to check that Graeme was there. When in actual fact I wasn’t willing to allow God to disrupt me in that moment.

I wanted to take some time, in light of the impending release of this book, to share with you why I wrote “Single Me.”

I found a Seashell

If you’ve clicked on this post, then you too must be an ocean lover because the title of this blog is not very compelling. But it’s important. It’s really important.

Freedom Found In Restriction

May 04, 2020/ Neridah Morris

Who would have thought that when freedom is restricted, the world actually thrives? Not us humans, that’s for sure. But I imagine God does, given it was the very thing he did to create the world. God himself had to contract in order to create space for the creation to exist. It’s a Hebrew term called Zimzum. A restriction or contraction of freedom in order for something else to thrive.

Sick of reading about it?

April 29, 2020/ Neridah Morris

A comment popped up on my Facebook from a friend asking me to give her a reason to read yet another book on singleness. This caught my attention. I hadn’t considered that I would need to prove that my book was helpful to fellow singles. But I liked how this challenged me to think about those who may feel a little fatigued by what books are currently in the market for Christian singles. I don’t want this book to just be another “Sunday school” answer. As a single person, I know how annoying it is when all you’re met with is “just trust Jesus” in response to your laments about being single. It’s not that this, and other answers like it, are wrong. It’s that in your moment of deep loneliness or rejection, it can feel like only words.

Is Loneliness A Sin?

March 20, 2019/ Neridah Morris

“If the Garden of Eden is a representation of heaven-“

“Is it?” The Senior Pastor asked.

“Isn’t it?” I replied.

“Is the Garden of Eden a real thing?”

“Good question, but maybe a discussion for another time and potentially the ultimate answer to the question I’m about to ask, but let’s say Eden is real. My question is, if Eden was real and is a representation of Heaven, being in ehad - oneness with God - then will loneliness exist in heaven because it existed in Eden?”

Could You Leave Me With A Scar?

July 01, 2017/ Neridah Morris

So when I look at this scar and I see beauty and ugliness. I see love and pain all in one image. The pain of scars serves as a reminder, but we get to choose what it reminds us of…

Feel The Fear...

March 01, 2017/ Neridah Morris

“Feel the fear and do it anyway.” Every time I read this phrase or say it out loud I envisage a breath being drawn in and then exhaled right where the word “and” appears. It’s as though this word is the turning point. Things change, right there, in “…and….”.
