I took a pregnancy test, was amazed that it had two lines, came down and announced to Lawrence that he was to be a Daddy for the third time! We couldn’t believe it but were so excited, from that moment we were a family of five now! The next day we gathered my family in […]
This morning I rolled over to the little voice that wakes me up most mornings, there stood next to my bed was his gorgeous face with a beaming smile. “Mummy, it has happened, I really have grown” He can’t wait for the day that I will tilt my head up to see him. I told […]
This Advent I have been obsessed with a new man. His name is Joseph, I have known about him for years-yet this year I keep thinking about him all the time! So last night, Christmas Eve at 1am I blurted down all I’d been pondering. This is a monologue style, so poets please don’t expect […]
It has been almost a year since I last wrote a blog post. It’s a year ago this month that my friend died and often I’ve written drafts but nothing felt right to post- death can do that I think. Throws things into perspective and makes it hard to get past. The longer I’ve gone […]
I want my son to know who he is. I want him to grow up secure. To be a man of integrity who is known for his gentle, kind and compassionate heart, a man of character who is strong and loves justice. I hope and pray he has a passion for the least and the […]
I was back in hospital today. This time with my 2yr old poorly lion. I didn’t handle it as well as I’ve handled everything else! When my husband, Loz, was sick, he’s had Dengue Fever, caught it in Burma via a stupid mosquito, I was strong. I was tight with God, didn’t lose my head, […]
“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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
