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?”

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?”

The Day That Changed History Forever…

What does Good Friday mean to you? To me? How easily it can become routine: to remember the cross where He died. How easily it can become normal to take bread and wine; taking it lightly that He gave His life. But it isn’t light. It’s earth- shattering. It’s shocking. It’s life-changing. It’s real. HeContinue reading “The Day That Changed History Forever…”

Where We Can Find Everything We Need…

Ok, so this is a bit of a crazy week- another day in a recording studio is coming up, Lord willing! There hasn’t been much time for blogging. So I thought I would share another poem with you: a poem I wrote for my parents about our shared faith. I hope it is an encouragement!Continue reading “Where We Can Find Everything We Need…”

Are you wondering where the world is headed?

I had a blog post pretty much planned for this week, but I decided to change it. Because it’s been a bit of a crazy day or two in the world, and there’s something I feel compelled to say.  It started with a conversation I had recently,about where the world is heading. About how thingsContinue reading “Are you wondering where the world is headed?”

When you’re striving and all you really need is to be still…

The more I go through this life, the more I’m learning that the answer is always to come back to my Heavenly Father: to come into His presence and wait on Him. In His presence, we find all we need. There is a place where we can find comfort for our trials; peace for anxiety;Continue reading “When you’re striving and all you really need is to be still…”

What if there was something astoundingly, mind-blowing good in your future… forever?

Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking a bit about my eternal Hope. My friend Angie has been encouraging me for a while to read the book ‘Heaven’, by Randy Alcorn, and I’ve been dipping into it. And it’s been speaking deeply to my heart. Alcorn, Dr R. (2004). Heaven. ed. Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. Knowing youContinue reading “What if there was something astoundingly, mind-blowing good in your future… forever?”

Is Your Soul Thirsting for Something?

  Are you thirsting for something more; deep; something real in your life? I listened to a message the other day that reminded me of something I’d forgotten; the sweet, sheer joy of walking close to Jesus. It was a message about James Hudson Taylor, who was a missionary to China. Hudson Taylor lived aContinue reading “Is Your Soul Thirsting for Something?”
