Sad, Angry, Desperate, Ashamed, Fearful, Broken, Overwhelmed, Hopeless…these are each words from a short scroll through my newsfeed. The emojis are 😢😞😱😤😪ðŸ˜ðŸ˜«ðŸ˜¡  I am sorry as today wasn’t what I voted, yet seeing these status’ made me start to wonder if I should be fearful, so I had to sit and pray. Amazingly my lion […]
This morning I was at a bible study, it is so good to be in a season in life where my Monday morning starts with someone else looking after my child while I am challenged and blessed with studying God’s word & chatting about applying it to real life, the highs and lows, with other women. It is so […]
Waiting in the airport lobby. We suddenly hear huge loud rain. Though as most places here have tin roofs it didn’t worry me much as rain sounds louder everywhere. ‘It’ll probably be fine, doesn’t look like too much rain’ I told Lawrence. Just then, more rain fell, even harder and wind swept fast and crazy […]

I thought there was nothing in this pot as it had been kicked,messed with, even used to send the fireworks out of and left alone..then one morning I noticed life! Beautiful things growing out of what looked to be nothing. Reminds me of my God of Grace […]
I said in a previous blogpost that as I slowly read through the Easter story (Matt26) and have days of waiting to carry on reading it awakens me to the wait Jesus endured. He knew what was coming, had to wait, feeling sick for it. Trying to tell His friends who just didn’t understand at all! […]
Creative Thursday Baked Banana cake with melted chocolate topping & Red Velvet cake. GrowGroup social, loving getting to know this group of fun. I am reading Matthew 26.26-29 and reflecting on the Last supper. How mad it must have sounded to offer the food & wine as Jesus’ blood & body. Yet what a knowing […]
