Winter Rest
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven”(Ecclesiastes 3:1, ESV). In 2020, as the world stood gripped in the throes of a pandemic, words poured out of me in prose and verse. Some days I couldn’t sleep for the imagery that danced...
From God
"I have good news and bad news". My heart sank even as I tried not to imagine the worst. The phrase "bad news" is not really what you want to hear from your mortgage broker when you're in the process of trying to secure a house. "The good news is that the finance...
Choosing Joy
The doctors said that full recovery would likely take six to 12 months and from that point onward, I counted off the days with eagerness. When nothing seemed to change by the 6-month mark, I comforted myself by looking forward to the 12-month mark. The timing seemed...
The Gentle Heart of The Servant Saviour
I woke up today thankful that it was Good Friday. A day where we remember the ultimate representation of self-giving love. I'm thankful because without the sacrifice of Jesus, I know that I'm not worthy to talk to God or come into His presence. I don’t know how many...
Resilience in The Trenches
Her big, dark-brown eyes welled up and her lower lip trembled as fat tears slid down her cheeks. I sat in mystified silence for a few seconds before asking, “What’s wrong?” “Nothing,” she replied, sniffing back tears unsuccessfully. “Then why are you crying?” I asked,...
February 2021 – Share Four Somethings
Happy New Year folks...I'm very late I know but I'm making up for missing January's SFS 🙂 Life has been quite busy these past two months - my 9yo has had exams, we've had snow (a rarity in London!), endured a long winter made even longer by lockdown and...
The Enabler
Enable - to give the authority or means to do something; make it possible to do something; make something possible. Joshua had been given a seemingly impossible task. His leader and mentor had just sprung the news upon him that he was the one the Lord had chosen to...
Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time there were two children aged 6 and 9 who constantly had to be told to tidy up after themselves. Ok, so this wasn't really that long ago (more like Thursday) and I'm the harried mother in this story who can't for the life of her understand why I have...
God: At Work
Today we pick up where we left off in over a month ago in God: Limitless and Beyond and continue with the father and son that we met at a key turning point in their lives... It had been an incredibly long day under the blazing sun - one could say perhaps the worst day...
Created by Design
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well"Psalm 139:13-14 (ESV) The above is today's scripture from my YouVersion...
All of Him Loves All of You
Kate said Fix. Go “What is man, that You should exalt him, That You should set Your heart on him..."(Job 7:17 NKJV) "What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?"(Psalms 8:4 NKJV) This question was uttered by different people for...
Times and Seasons Are in His Hands
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven..."Ecclesiastes 1:8 (ESV) It's 2021. Woohoo! Happy New Year folks. I like everyone else, had looked eagerly to crossing over into this new year. Eager to move on from the strangeness and...
