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.

A tickle attack

For the last little while my youngest does something particular, something predictable. She raises her hand 🤚 and points high to the side like one might point out a bird 🦅 flying. And then she unleashes her furry of little hands in a tickle attack.

You see, the best way to attack, is to first distract.

If Satan can divert your eyes, divert your attention, divert your mind of where your focus should be, then he can use this cover, use this opportunity to infiltrate you.

Today is what you have, each moment is God given. Each moment is gone when it is gone. And we cannot retrieve it.

God has something special organised for you today. God has a plan for today. He has a mission for you today.

But so does Satan also.

Satan has something against you. Satan wants nothing good for you. He will do anything to divert you today. He will do anything to divert you tomorrow. He will pluck and tear at your life like one who desires to unravel a scarf 🧣 and boy is he desperate. Satan knows exactly how to undo you. He has watched you, he has listened. He knows what God is doing and he desires to have your choices undo yourself.

Genesis 34 24&25

24All the men who went out of the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised. 25Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male.

Maybe something private is hurting today. Maybe something you hold dear is in pain. Maybe today you are unable to walk straight because you are doubled because of the small thing Satan has poked you with.

How does one lift their sword 🗡️ when they are in pain? They can’t. And every piece of training, every ounce of experience, is all irrelevant. Because something has cut them and they are now prey to a much greater attack.

The attack on their lives!

Friend your seams 🧵 are visible. Distracting you is child’s play to him. Understand this.

Be aware, distraction ahead.

1 Peter 5:8

8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
