We are Family…

I am writing this feeling rested and just in a good place. I’m taking note of that as I think I can often write out of sadness, confusion or tiredness so its a treat to write feeling…good! That is mainly thanks to my grandparents, they took my gorgeous 2yr old boy this weekend, our first night […]

In southern chin state when a step parent gets involved they almost always don’t want the partners children from a previous marriage. Sometimes they try to kill them. Therefore they run away or are taken by someone to an orphanage.  Orphanges often care the best they can. They have a lot of children to care […]

Heading to Burma..

Tonight/early hours of tomorrow I am heading with my little family (Husband and two yr old) to Myanmar (Burma).  I have sat down for two minutes as we are packed (after the classic arguing and case shuffling).  My heads been going a tad crazy the last couple weeks as it kept thinking of extras.

Fear and Puddles

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 […]

A week of Creatives 🎨#40DaysCreative

GrowGroup social, loving getting to know this group of fun.  I am reading Matthew 26.26-29 and reflecting on the Last supper.
