  • New shoes or

    In my case new wellies! I love that God speaks to us in the day to day things of life. If we take time to ask & listen then there is usually something to learn from what is going on around us. Part of my daily routine is to take the dog out. The ground…

  • Expectation – What is my expectation

    I have been thinking about this today and it is a challenge.   What am I hoping/expecting to receive from God when I pray to Him or seek Him for direction in my life? Do I have a confident expectation in the goodness of God? I sense God is saying– What is your expectation of me?  …

  • Healing & Wholeness

    The other week during worship in the Sunday Morning, I was reminded of the story of the lepers who Jesus healed. As I was thinking of the story, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and reminded me that one of the lepers returned to Jesus and thanked him for healing him.    Jesus then told him…

  • The Valley Gate

    Nehemiah re-built The Valley Gate.       This is a difficult gate and one that we don’t generally want to go through- the valley experiences which no-one likes.    We would all (myself included) much rather stay on the mountain top and enjoy those experiences with God but I don’t believe that we can stay there…
