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 You Are Afraid
Do you know what it’s like to be anxious? I do! I guess it’s one of my biggest battlegrounds. Have you found things that help? I belong to Jesus. Trusting in Him as Saviour and following Him as Lord, God’s promises of comfort, protection and provision are mine (and they can be yours, too, ifContinue reading “When You Are Afraid”
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”
Impossible? Jesus Can
Ever been up against something impossible? Something that no-one else seems able to fix? Something that it seems like can never change? Life can feel like that sometimes. On days when I struggle with OCD and anxiety, it can feel a bit like that sometimes. But the Lord has been encouraging me with this: “NowContinue reading “Impossible? Jesus Can”
Feeling Anxious?
It’s been a bit of a battle with anxiety lately. Have you ever been there? Are you there now? I’m trying to learn how to handle things better. And I felt prompted to blog about it. Maybe it will help both of us! I pray it blesses you. Anxiety is something I struggle with often.Continue reading “Feeling Anxious?”
When You Are Anxious
A friend and I were talking recently about anxiety. And how we can get caught up in tangles of negativity and fear. And how we can so often forget what God has told us. And how powerful it is when we remind ourselves of what He has said. About trusting in God’s promises, and remindingContinue reading “When You Are Anxious”
Handling Anxiety Through a Time of Change
Do you find that times of busyness and change can stir up anxiety? I know they do for me! It’s been a pretty stressful time at work lately. Lots of changes at work, and changes that I find pretty anxiety-provoking and OCD triggering. So I thought I’d brainstorm about handling anxiety through a busy timeContinue reading “Handling Anxiety Through a Time of Change”
