“Imagine if we’d not listened to God..we wouldn’t have our son. Yet can’t imagine life without him” The words of my husband just before he fell asleep. For me a statement like that sends my brain far too wild to then be able to sleep! Yes, gosh imagine if we had said no or ignored […]
Tonight I was at the memorial service of a lad who should have been celebrating his 21st Birthday. Yet sadly instead he was remembered by family and friends in a beautiful way as we all let go of 21 balloons in his honour. I feel quite surrounded by grief at the minute. It suddenly hit […]
Rocking my little lion to sleep tonight holding him and thanking heaven. It was like I suddenly saw different characters from the bible & I saw something I’ve not seen before, I felt God was talking to me about Adoption.

I read of a terrible crime today. I read of a ‘sex-worker’ who has done a terrible thing and will be in prison for a very long time. If found guilty she deserves to be in prison for a very long time. The pain for me is that I know this woman, I have been […]
I have just been at a Baptism service where three churches came together to watch 9 men,women & children of all ages get in a pool as they ‘decide to give their life to Jesus ‘. For me, this is the most special and beautiful thing to see, I’ve had the honour of seeing baptisms […]
