Are you ever stunned by a glimpse of God being much more big and wonderful than than the boxes we put Him in? Sometimes you get a glimpse of something astounding, which blows you away. A few weeks ago, I was on another camping trip, representing GFA World at the BigChurchDayOut. I love trips likeContinue reading “His Songs of Joy”

Remembering to be Thankful
Do you ever catch yourself taking things for granted? Complaining about little things that don’t matter very much? Yes, I do. I’ve been thinking lately about gratitude. I’m learning that gratitude can change your perspective, and bring such joy. Last week, I spent a few days in a tent. Actually, it was a real blessing.Continue reading “Remembering to be Thankful”
The Invitation to Be With Him…
The Lord has been showing me something very precious recently: an invitation. An invitation to walk closely with Him; to be in His presence. It’s not about activities. It’s not about being busy. It’s knowing Him. I serve in full-time ministry. It’s busy. And there are so many blessings in my life. But they are notContinue reading “The Invitation to Be With Him…”
Responding to Perfectionism
Wow, it’s a long time since I’ve blogged! Life’s been busy. God surprised me, and I started recording some more songs. But God’s been encouraging me, and this is a great place to share. So can I share with you about one of those lessons? Do you ever live drained by the weight of tryingContinue reading “Responding to Perfectionism”
Why Go Elsewhere?
Do you ever feel thirsty? Longing for satisfaction that you just can’t seem to find? The Lord keeps reminding me of something I so often forget: He is the One I really need; the only One Who truly satisfies. The One Who is always there for me, waiting for me, with open arms. The One WhoContinue reading “Why Go Elsewhere?”
Looking Back and Looking Forward…
So it’s almost my birthday again. How does that happen? Time really does go so fast. And the Lord has been encouraging me of how faithful He has been through my life, and how encouraging that is for the future. Looking back over my life, I can see one strong, consistent, wonderful reality: a BestContinue reading “Looking Back and Looking Forward…”
Remembering to Say ‘Thank You’
I’m learning, more and more, that it’s good to just say ‘Thank You’: to celebrate the good things God has done. We’ve started taking a few moments to do that every day in our little GFA UK team in the office where I work. It’s helping us to notice His blessings. I know things canContinue reading “Remembering to Say ‘Thank You’”
How Looking Back to God’s Faithfulness Can Help With Faith
Recently, something clicked in me. We listened to a message, which encouraged us to look back at the past, at what God has done, so you can have hope for the future. And I realised that blogging to testify to God’s faithfulness is a really good idea. That message was a helpful reminder. Sometimes youContinue reading “How Looking Back to God’s Faithfulness Can Help With Faith”
What If I Really Believed God Will Answer My Prayers?
The Lord has been speaking to me recently about hope, and faith, and His promises. To be honest, I can tend to be negative; pessimistic. Anxious. I have an overactive imagination. Imagining extreme things that could happen. Imaging the worst. Even though I am praying about things. Even though I am His. I am forgiven.Continue reading “What If I Really Believed God Will Answer My Prayers?”
I Get to Live
I guess this is a continuation from my last blog post: about realising how precious right now is. The other day, I went to the doctors, to check out something I was worried about. It was fine. I should have known, really. I worry far too much! But that ‘all okay’ changed the day forContinue reading “I Get to Live”
