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 […]
Today’s writing is from my sister, I admire her bravery and heart to help anyone who has/is experienced something similar, Bravery and Hope shine through.. I have thought about writing this post for about a year, and it finally felt like the right time. This time last year, after nine months of trying for our […]
I have a son. He is 7months old. His smile feels like a gift. Each time I get one I feel like I have been chosen & his eyes have wanted to bless me by lighting up when he sees me. I feel like the words of Gods beautiful promises have come alive to me […]
Today is a big day for my family. Decisions are going to be made which will determine a lot for my future. I know I can write tomorrow when I know if it’s good or bad but I felt I need to write about how it feels when your in this middle place.. Before the […]

Who is this man Jesus? This is the question we have been asking over the past couple weeks in my group in women’s prison. We started last night to read John together. Each woman was given a beautiful card and that will be their notebook to write in all they learn and see about who […]
1. Respect Freedom This probably seems like the most obvious one. It would be easier to say enjoy or value your freedom, remember each day how amazing it is that we have freedom. But it’s quite unrealistic in our day to day lives to be genuinely aware of our freedom-especially if we have never been […]
Monday night in prison we spoke about the different ways God speaks. No matter who you are or what you’ve done. Jesus will speak. Even to prisoners. Ultimately I can ‘teach’ but with this- it’s best just to taste and see he is good! He spoke to them through the bible, different verses that they chose from […]
Forgiveness is a topic I often wish I could scrub out of the bible when in women’s prison. The amount of terrible things most of these women have experienced means I could cringe at the idea of asking them to forgive. Jesus was very bold about it though, He spoke a lot about the importance of forgiveness […]
At the start of the year for our Sunday Service I brought in Laura. An amazing woman who shared her own story with the women. A story of her 17yr long heroin addiction, hurts and pains that sent her life on a spiral downwards-until she met the man who changed it all! The beautiful man […]
