This is the time of year when I get to spend two weeks in a tent. And, to be honest, I love it. Ok, so the tent thing brings challenges. But the other side of it is that, along with thousands of others, I get to soak in the presence of my Heavenly Father’s incredible,Continue reading “Are you searching for love you just can’t seem to find?”

Has Brexit maybe brought a little fear to your heart?
Does the world ever seem a frightening place to you? It does to me! Things can sometimes seem crazy and upside down and out of hand and I sometimes wonder how I can find a truly safe place to stand on. And, yes, Brexit hasn’t helped that feeling either. Of course, I knew it wasContinue reading “Has Brexit maybe brought a little fear to your heart?”
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?”
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’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?”
So, So Loved
He loves us so, so much. If we belong to Christ then, in His Son, we are covered. He is our Father. We are His treasured possession, the apple of His eye. The slate is washed clean. We are forgiven. It just doesn’t matter what anyone says. We are His. He has the final say. And we areContinue reading “So, So Loved”
Is something troubling you?
It’s a firm favourite in my family: that old, familiar hymn: ‘What a Friend we Have in Jesus.’ And it’s true. No matter what the need; no matter the guilt; no matter the problem, there is always One you can turn to. One Who will always understand. One Who will never let you down. NoContinue reading “Is something troubling you?”
Moments
Do you sometimes find yourself going through the motions and forgetting to take the joy: forgetting to be grateful for the blessings that surround you? I know I do! Lately, I’ve occasionally caught myself in the busyness, going full steam ahead, forgetting to breathe for a second and thank God for the moment. Life inContinue reading “Moments”
