This is me Stepping Out…
Have you ever been at a point of stepping out? Are you there now? Ok. Deep breath. This is where I step out, and stop hiding. And do something that’s been on my heart for years. And yes, in my dreams, too. Singing, singing and more singing. In another words, doing a kind of concertContinue reading “This is me Stepping Out…”
Feeling Fear as you go into this New Year?
How do you feel about a new year? Hopeful? Excited? Maybe a bit pressured? Panicked? Or even full of dread? Part of me likes the fresh start, but part of me is always a bit afraid of the things that might happen in the year ahead. To be honest, I can sometimes find myself lookingContinue reading “Feeling Fear as you go into this New Year?”
Looking for the Unshakeable in a Shaking World?
What do you do when you face challenges? Big ones? Or even small ones? What do you do in times of change? What do you do when your world comes crashing down? When the world (and maybe your world) feels big and frightening and uncertain? Again and again, I’ve found that the Sunday School answersContinue reading “Looking for the Unshakeable in a Shaking World?”

When God Surprises You With His Kindness
I just want to give testimony to God’s unexpected kindness. His mercy. How sometimes He can surprise you with something you didn’t see coming, but something you needed. I’d been in full-time ministry a long time. I was pretty worn out. I’d battled anxiety on and off. I thought a few times that a SabbaticalContinue reading “When God Surprises You With His Kindness”
While You Are Waiting
What do you do while you are waiting? Isn’t it easy to worry? Get frustrated? Panic? Ok, so my life really changed recently. God made it really clear that He is moving me on to a different ministry. I kind of know what that will be, but it’s not quite clear yet. And, right now,Continue reading “While You Are Waiting”
When Your World Suddenly Changes…
Wow, so it’s a bit of a crazy time right now! A few weeks ago, everything changed when the Lord made it clear that He is leading me to leave my role in ministry, which I’ve done for over 13 years, because He is calling me to something new. I’m still friends with everyone, butContinue reading “When Your World Suddenly Changes…”
When it Doesn’t Make Sense
God has been teaching me lately about trusting Him. About trusting in God’s goodness when it doesn’t make sense. Trusting that He is acting in love, and that He knows what He is doing. Maybe it doesn’t make sense now, but one day it will. Trusting in Jesus as my Saviour and following Him asContinue reading “When it Doesn’t Make Sense”
