The other week, I was blessed by a few days staying with a dear friend. My friend has a beautiful garden. One afternoon, I was sitting in it, reading and enjoying the sunshine. In the peace and beauty of that moment, I could feel the sweetness of resting in God; of basking in His love;Continue reading “A Moment of Deep Peace…”

Do You Ever Put God in a Box?
Do you ever underestimate God? Expect Him to act in a certain way? Limit what you think He can or will do? I remember a friend at University, who used to talk about ‘putting God in a box’. Yup, I do that. And then He bursts the boxes apart by doing far more thanContinue reading “Do You Ever Put God in a Box?”
The Love That Can Truly Set You Free…
Lately, God has been teaching me a lot about His love for me as Father, and what that means. It’s so precious; so beautiful; so healing; so freeing. And I want to share more with you, if that’s ok. Because I think it’s crucially important in setting us free in all kinds of ways. YouContinue reading “The Love That Can Truly Set You Free…”
When you Want the Very Best Gift of all…
What do you see as the best gift you could ever have in life? The thing you long for most of all? Something has been clicking in me recently, and I want to share it with you, because it’s life-changing. It’s something I should have realised a long time ago, and maybe I did, butContinue reading “When you Want the Very Best Gift of all…”
Why Life Doesn’t Have to be So Heavy
Do you know what it is to live often tense; often anxious? I sure do! The Lord has been showing me recently (again) that, the more I know I am loved, the more anxiety can fall away. I so often worry: living tense; inwardly fretful; hyper-vigilant. But I am His child. I am forgiven; accepted;Continue reading “Why Life Doesn’t Have to be So Heavy”
It’s Not Over Yet
Below are some words I wrote to encourage Christians who are going through hard times. When you are trusting Jesus as your Saviour and following Him as your Lord, though life can be very tough at times, there is always a reason to keep going, because God always has a good plan in the end.Continue reading “It’s Not Over Yet”
Is There a Safe Place in this Crazy World?
Is there a safe place in this crazy world? Do you ever feel frightened by the vulnerability; unpredictability of this crazy life? I do. And sometimes things happen that shock you, and could paralyse you with fear. Like what happened this week in Manchester. Manchester. The place I have learned to call home. I took aContinue reading “Is There a Safe Place in this Crazy World?”
A Place to Rest and Remember He is God
This is another full week when I’m busy preparing for a session in a recording studio. There isn’t a lot of time for blogging. So I thought I’d share a poem I wrote a while ago. I wrote it at a time when I was pretty anxious and fretful, and on holiday. In the midst ofContinue reading “A Place to Rest and Remember He is God”
You’re Surrounded by Far More Love Than You Realise
One thing I have been learning recently, more and more, is about living in the Father’s presence, aware of His love. Whether or not we realise it, the Father is always there with us; surrounding us; reaching out to us in love. He gave His Son so that we can turn back to Him, be forgiven and receiveContinue reading “You’re Surrounded by Far More Love Than You Realise”
Have you ever longed for a friend who will never let you down?
Have you ever longed for someone who would always be there for you? Who would listen to you and never say the wrong thing? Who would love you no matter what you had done? Who would help you perfectly through every season and never, ever let you down? When I was a young girl atContinue reading “Have you ever longed for a friend who will never let you down?”
