I have been using this space to share my feelings, questions and thoughts since 2012. We have a history here.

I write for myself. To remember a moment, or release something I have had circulating. I love when something resonates with you as you read along.

A lot has changed in the decade+ since I started. One thing has remained the same. Jesus.

His faithfulness is very real, in everything, He has been close and I hope that as you read this blog, posts old and new, you see Jesus and learn His faithfulness for yourself too.

A little of the journey of this blog, links to posts, so you can hopefully find something of interest:

When I started this blog I was working full-time in prisons with chaplaincy. You can read tales from those times, girls stories and some of what I learned in the five years inside.

I had my first child and in those days felt Jesus so close. A lot had changed and yet through learning how to be a mum I understood more of Father God. Even up to him starting school I shared.

We went to Myanmar and were very invested in work there for a while. I wrote a few posts around that time.

I then had the honour of leading a Church. I led Ivy Church Sharston as the site leader and found it a privilege and joy to lead the people God brought. There’s a little bit of Church thoughts like building Team or training I had like this with Danielle Strickland in some blog posts. As well as how we did Maternity Leave as a female leader!

I had my daughter Poppy and some of her journey is here. As well as the way God uses her to speak to my heart about things such as comparison. I went back to work and my husband looked after Poppy so that’s shared here.

As well as the joy of having children, we have felt the pain and loss of losing three babies, now in heaven. The post from the first time is here and then sadly again. They are very honest and raw yet important to share and I am thankful to know have been healing and helpful to others. Before this, my sister was brave and shared her story of ectopic pregnancy. I also had written about the pain of it as I watched my friends have their ‘should-be days‘.

I have a lot of posts that are just what I needed to share in the moment. Whether about Identity or Fear or Anxiety or Depression or Grief or women or random things like – how Joseph might have felt sharing fatherhood with Almighty God! Then there’s bits where you can just see what I mean by a relationship with Jesus.

I have then been quiet since August 2021 as I had my third child and life changed again. I still love this post.. love what you have. Still very much my heart. I am excited to use this space again, share Gods faithfulness and hope something encourages you.

One page here seems random but it is because I wrote and performed monologues during my time working in prison which you can find here. As I used to speak in Churches and people wanted to keep in contact or have a DVD (yes that’s how old I am, DVDs were sold)
