The ART of Losing Myself

As the coffee pours through the filter, the filter does nothing but simply allows it to pass; the filter if pure will add nothing to the flavour of the beans and also take nothing away. Simple flow. Up to down. From within to out.

The typewriter thinks not of the next word or sentence, it decides not the next paragraph. The typewriter is simply there, allowing its buttons to be pushed, allowing its ink to flow, allowing a mark to be left.

During my time working with coffee one day I was cleaning out the back, and I seen on a shelf high above me, a box.

‘100% pure filter’

And I knew that God was talking to me about what I needed to be. 100 percent pure filter, add nothing and take away nothing.

That is my prayer that I may be used to the full, that his outpour will always be HIS outpour.

Come my friend, let me wrap my arm around you.


Take a seat.


It’s coffee time.

Pull before propel

I pull backwards with full force, the stone in my sling.

See it’s as plain as the gravity God created, the physics of life.

One must give for one to receive.

Somethings gotta give, whether it’s someone else giving for you to receive, or you giving so that someone else can receive. Or whether it’s you giving so that you can receive.

There is always something that needs to be pulled, for something to go forward.

Pull, more. Deliberately, enthusiastically.

Pull that sling further, pull the position of that stone further.

The greater the pull back, the greater the propelling.

Like feathers 🪶 grazing the tips of your right fingers as you hold that bow. With precise precision at your target. 🎯

Keep your eye fixed on the ahead, fixed on the goal.

What sort of arrows and stones do you pull on? Arrows of children, or ministries? Stones of sacrifice or blessings?

You’ve got to pull on one side for something to proceed on the other side.

You’ve got to give on one side for someone to get, on the other side.

Parents, I know you pull back yourself for your children.

Friends, I know you pull back your lives for his ministry.

Children of God, I know you give, just so another can receive.

Stones and arrows of time, 🕰️ hobbies and lifestyles. Stones and arrows of finance and energy, of thoughts 💭 and words.

Do you want to know what breaks mighty strongholds?

The catapults of Christ.

All we pull back in his name, will be the breaker of enemy fortresses. The destructor of mighty walls.

2 Chronicles 26:15

15 In Jerusalem, he positioned catapults to shoot arrows and great stones, a new invention by ingenious men, in the towers and on the corners of the city wall. Because of his impressive army, many of the surrounding nations knew about Uzziah and how God helped him win battles.

Side note 📝 This is how awesome God is, confirmation for me, that when I read this verse above, reading it after I had already written, I noticed immediately the use of arrows and stones. My story began first with stones and then God brought to my mind also the arrows. 🙌🪶🙌🎯 he is good 🙌❤️
