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 […]
I love the greeting Daniel receives as I’m reading Daniel 10. What a beautiful honour and when I read it today it made me first think.. I wish that was me! I am thankful for the promise that Jesus does love us. It is absolute Truth that it would be said over us too.. So […]

The freedom they have in running off because they know they are never out of sight, they are so secure and protected. So they have no boundaries..they pick a direction and run! We […]

Though we struggle and fall and hurt and fail and try again and mess it up and cry and try again and see and risk and hurt and push through and cry for help and try again… We don’t go through it alone. There is one right next to us, capturing it all, never allowing […]
I’ve not posted for a while. I have a lot of ‘saved drafts’ as I have written a lot, just not stuff worth posting! I can’t be fake, I’m not great at small talky chitchat. That’s why I find the starts & ends of church a bit cringe! Oooh but grab a cuppa & sit […]
