Letting Go…Testimony Tuesday (Update)
The wanderer has returned! You may recall my post about my youngest daughter (who set off for over 5 months on a solo back pack to the Far East) and my thoughts in Letting go…#TestimonyTuesday. Now she is back……but not for long. She heads off on her next adventure to university in Newcastle Upon Tyne,…

The Invite
It’s exciting to receive an invitation especially to a celebration. I have received an invitation recently to attend a party..there is free food, drink, a great venue in Birmingham but it’s only for volunteers of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. The thing is after working 8 shifts (some very early ones), getting home late, travelling, working…

Sportsmanship….#TestimonyTuesday
One of the stories from the #Commonwealth Games that caught my eye and I wanted to share with you was this one: In an incredible act of sportsmanship, the Malaysian Badminton coach offers and gives his shoes to the opposing Jamaican Badminton player. The Jamaican’s shoes had been damaged during the match and he would…

Expectation – What is my expectation
On Thursdays, I publish something from my archives which has inspired or challenged me in the past. Today’s reminder was about Expectation and some questions I asked myself 2 years ago. 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…

Fathers…a thank you
It’s a celebration of Fathers today in the UK. My girls have pulled out the stops this year and my husband could not contain himself. It was a gift of a charcuterie pack of smoked meats. My goodness, he was so happy I’m sure he almost cried. I’ve not seen him look at something so…

Someone to notice us
Do you sometimes feel invisible? Overlooked? That people just don’t notice you. A visiting preacher from Turkey once told us that Mission begins with Seeing. In chapter 2 of the story of Ruth we read in verse 5 – Boaz said “whose young woman is this?” Ruth who was a foreigner, a stranger, a refugee…

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…

Burning Love
I was thinking about relationships and love the other day. This year is my 30th wedding anniversary in July. After dropping a few hints (very heavy hints) my husband realised what a milestone this was and something to be celebrated. I can only think being married to me is a celebration every day so that’s…

God our refuge
Psalm 46 is my prayer for us all today to affirm our faith in God and call upon Him in our times of trouble because He truly is our ever present help. He does not abandon us at these difficult and heart wrenching times but is right there with us in the middle of times…

God – He is on your side
I was reminded of this post following an encouraging word from our Pastor on Sunday. I thought it would be a timely #ThrowbackThursday post. Psalm 46 verse 1 declares that: “God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in times of trouble“. If you are in the middle of difficult times and struggling…
