Growing up I lived in 6 different houses & so moved schools all around the country and had to get good at making friends! Then since moving to Manchester at 18yrs I have lived in another 4 houses and now am very happily settled in my house with my husband and baby boy! I am […]
My Lion is now 9months (I know! Already!?), he has been a bit poorly over the last few weeks. Saturday night on one of his coughing episodes I went into his room to soothe him back to sleep. I needed him to not know I was there so I was glad it was dark so […]
There must be an answer for when the days are hard When pain is great or troubles seem large For the awful things that come in to surprise or just to steal to kill and to destroy I want an answer, we all like a quick fix I know the ‘christian answer’ and the ‘right […]
I read of a terrible crime today. I read of a ‘sex-worker’ who has done a terrible thing and will be in prison for a very long time. If found guilty she deserves to be in prison for a very long time. The pain for me is that I know this woman, I have been […]

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 […]
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.

Jesus was very bold about it though, He spoke a lot about the importance of forgiveness […]
