Moments of Quiet Peace
Sometimes a moment is so beautiful you want to try to preserve it: to make it last. Sometimes I find myself trying to do that with a poem. Below are some words I wrote looking out of my window one evening. I love those moments when the evening is softly, gently cooling down, and the quietContinue reading “Moments of Quiet Peace”
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…”
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”
The Hope of Spring
How do you feel about spring? I love it! It fills me with such joy to see the first snowdrop… the first daffodil… to hear the birds sing… After the long, dark days of winter, though it comes gradually, spring keeps coming… and it feels like such a gift. Below is a poem I wrote one spring, whenContinue reading “The Hope of Spring”
When You Think No-One Could Heal Your Heart
The other day, I was in a conversation with someone, which made me think. There’s something I want to share in response. So here goes: Jesus can heal the broken-hearted. Nothing is too hard for Him. He knows us. He made us. He cares about every sigh; every tear. And He is able to healContinue reading “When You Think No-One Could Heal Your Heart”
How Knowing God’s Love Can Help With Fear of a New Year…
Do you ever feel a little bit of fear about going into a new year? To be honest, I do. I think one of my greatest weaknesses is fear and hesitancy. There’s generally some low-level fear going on in my heart about something or other. I know Jesus. I am forgiven and accepted in Him.Continue reading “How Knowing God’s Love Can Help With Fear of a New Year…”
When God Makes a Dream Come True
Do you ever find yourself assuming that ‘God would never make that dream come true?’, or, ‘That’s just impossible?’, or, ‘It’s too late?’ I want to give testimony to the faithfulness of God. Sometimes, you’ve carried a burden: an ache for something, for so long, and you almost don’t dare believe it could ever comeContinue reading “When God Makes a Dream Come True”
