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 […]
Watching super nanny type show tonight ‘3day nanny’ and enjoyed seeing a lady help a family who were struggling. Obviously also trying to gleam some tips for my Lion who will be two in two weeks (whaaat!?) and I, like most honest parents, am guessing my way through! Something she said in the show hit […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Today was going to be baking but instead I had time to paint! Little Lion napped in the afternoon so I got a bit of time..just under an hour..it didn’t feel long! I’m not an artist and so needed help! I watched a simple Acrylic Paint video on YouTube for inspiration. Mine looks nothing like […]
I have been encouraged by a friend to spend the 40days of lent choosing to be creative. I believe this will be a challenge but also freeing. There is creativity in all of us..so sometimes to get the chance to be looking for it is helpful. For me, I can’t sew,knit, draw, paint..I can just […]
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 […]
“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 […]
