#TestimonyTuesday – God’s Provision
When I was growing up I was fortunate that my Dad taught me about how to manage my finances and honouring God with my finances. He taught me about being generous and supportive of God’s work, helping those in need and giving on biblical principles. When I received my first pay packet Dad helped me…

Faith for the Race
Some days are better than others aren’t they. We encounter set backs and discouragement sets in. We feel like not a lot has been achieved or we don’t see growth as fast as we want. It takes time though for green shoots and fruit to appear or re-appear especially in some seasons of our life.…

Staying close to the source
There have been some wonderful and inspiring things I have seen this weekend away in the Derbyshire Dales. I love how the beauty of nature reminds me of God. You see His hand in creation. The wildlife and scenery. Some man made things have also inspired me- like these old drinking troughs which were built…

Gates- The Horse Gate
The next gate in this series of posts about the gates which Nehemiah rebuilt is the Horse Gate. This gate speaks of battles and as Christians we must not forget that we are in a spiritual battle. There will be battles. We have an enemy, Satan, who doesn’t want us to follow Christ or mature spiritually and…

Pouring the oil on you
Today I wanted to share this picture that the Holy Spirit inspired in my heart last year. It is Pentecost Sunday today and I’m so thankful for the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Truth glorifying King Jesus in and through us, His body of believers. Thank you Jesus for sending the Holy Spirit…

Gates-The Fountain and Water Gates
Two gates today which I have mentioned together as they are both water related. The Fountain Gate and the Water Gate. These gates have been very much in my thoughts and prayers the last week or so. At church we have been considering wells. We are all wells for Jesus. Sometimes our wells can become…

Gates -The Valley Gate
Nehemiah re-built The Valley Gate. This is a difficult gate and one that we don’t much want to go through- the valley experiences. We would all much prefer to stay on the mountain top and enjoy those experiences with God but life for most of us is not like that – even the…
