Explaining why I’m in Burma so you have context for my rambling thoughts! I’m currently in Kalay, Myanmar (Burma) visiting homes that we have supported for years. Last trip it felt fun as we just played & enjoyed the children. This time we have linked with a larger charity & I feel like we have […]
Fear is often seen as this glaringly obvious emotion. Haloween, horror films, dark forrests.. Yet I’ve found fear to be a sneaky quiet dark weasel that can creep in. As he does, he pushes out faith & peace. Three years ago I fell down a flight of stairs & slipped three disks in my […]
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the night I feel to turn off the tv, get off the sofa, get over myself, give my moping-illness-sadness-self-indulgence to my Jesus. Instead to turn on a podcast, eat the word of God, physically clean up my house & internally clean up my act.. I find my bible […]
I have just written a letter to my baby. Of course he can’t read it today but it is for when he is older. I wrote one last year & will write one each year for him. Inside is full and personal, my hopes for him & mainly just my unconditional love of him. How […]
Last Sunday I had the privilege of speaking at our church. It has been a long time since I have spoken, so it was both scary & exciting! I feel like the lessons God taught me through Phillipians & as we enter this season of joy as a church is very timely. I am praying […]
Today I sorted out my Lions wardrobe. My sister has given me the next stage up, clothes 2-3yrs 😩 He isn’t two till September but is in these clothes now. So I’ve packed up his 12-24 month clothes for her to have for my nephew Leo. (As an aside, please know that the hope my […]
This morning I was up at 3am with my little Lion. When I came back to bed I heard my name called, I’d kept feeling through the day like I heard my name but nobody there. So I wondered, like with Samuel in the night with Eli in 1samuel (bible) , if perhaps it was […]
I have just got back from a wonderful week in Poland. Holidays are good for me! I know everyone would probably say that but honestly, on holiday, with the freedom to just relax and no pressure to do or be anywhere, I am truly me again. Plus I get to have my man with me […]
My mother-in-law (Anji) is one of the most inspiring, hard working, kind women that I have ever met. She has raised and loved seven children, then went to work in a care home and went from cleaner to manager and just is an absolute trooper! She chose to retire a couple years back, after years […]
Today is not called ‘Happy Easter’ it is called ‘Easter’, the ‘Happy’ bit is just a greeting..wishing people to be happy today. I have seen a lovely friend write to please not be wished Happy Easter as 9months ago she lost her precious baby, he so sadly died after bravely battling cancer. He is now […]
