This life is so, so short. Why do I forget that? Any moment now, I could be in eternity. And, yes, my future is secure. Yes, trusting in Jesus, my sins are forgiven. Yes, in Christ, I have eternal hope (and, if you don’t, believe me, you need it- the stakes are too high toContinue reading “Do you ever wonder where the time has gone?”

Do you long to know that you are loved?
Knowing that you are really, truly loved by God your Heavenly Father changes everything. I spent many years of my life struggling to believe that the Father loves me. I came to know Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord when I was very small (maybe 4 or 5), but, as I grew, I feltContinue reading “Do you long to know that you are loved?”
When Waiting is Hard…
My little friend, Anna, is around 20 months old. There’s one word that she’s learned, but she doesn’t understand. If I say to her ‘Wait!’, she will repeat the word. She will wiggle her fingers, making the baby sign that she learned when she was very small. But she doesn’t understand! She asks for foodContinue reading “When Waiting is Hard…”
Do you ever feel your life doesn’t matter?
There are a lot of ideas in this world of ours that just aren’t true… and yet they can hurt our hearts and weigh us down. One is the idea of what a meaningful, successful life is. As I look around, I see precious women who love God and show their love for Him inContinue reading “Do you ever feel your life doesn’t matter?”
When it Just Doesn’t Make Sense…
Sometimes life in this world is just tough. Sometimes things are so very, very hard and we just don’t understand what God is doing. I’m in a good season right now, but I’ve been through dark times in the past, and I know it can be so hard to trust our Father’s loving heart when weContinue reading “When it Just Doesn’t Make Sense…”
Do You Ever Long to Find a Place of Safety in this Crazy World?
Towering high, nestled in the limbs of the tree outside my window, there is a nest. I’ve looked up at that nest for days now, wondering what’s happening inside. I’ve see birds coming and going to that tree. I’ve even glimpsed movement between the branches. But it’s just too high up- and I’m not oneContinue reading “Do You Ever Long to Find a Place of Safety in this Crazy World?”
How Can it be Okay?
Sometimes I catch myself and realise that I cannot waste my life. Can you remember life without knowing Jesus? Without knowing forgiveness of sin and eternal hope in Him? For over 2 billion people in our world, it’s reality… without any access at all to someone who could tell them about Jesus, and what HeContinue reading “How Can it be Okay?”
He is with you now…
He is right there with you now. Loving you. Sometimes maybe you glimpse it. Most of the time, maybe you don’t. But that doesn’t make it any less true. He wants to give you His peace. He wants to give you His joy. He wants to be your hope. He offer forgiveness for your sins, peaceContinue reading “He is with you now…”
He’s waiting for you
There’s nothing like waiting in the Father’s presence, and just being loved. Taking time to be with Him changes everything. It’s comfort for the deepest grief. It’s peace for the wildest storm. It’s joy in the bleakest agony. Because He is so much deeper; so much sweeter; so much closer than we’ve ever imagined. ForContinue reading “He’s waiting for you”
Can you relate to these thoughts?
Sometimes I catch myself thinking things like this: ‘That’s never going to change.’ ‘That’s just too big a problem.’ ‘If God was going to answer, He would have done so by now.’ ‘It’s too late for that to ever change.’ ‘I could never pray enough about that, so I might as well not pray atContinue reading “Can you relate to these thoughts?”
