Embrace the sacred work

on 12 August 202520 August 2025 Leave a Comment on Embrace the sacred work

He gives us summer seasons; times of work and preparation. The bible tells us what life will be like during the last days. He specifically called us into fellowship for these days. We were made new for such a time as now. We are given life by His Spirit, equipped by the truth of His …

Pruned to grow

on 7 August 202512 August 2025 Leave a Comment on Pruned to grow

“He knows exactly what we need to grow beautiful, vibrant lives.” — @shannanoel 100 Days of Prayer So, prune my life, Lord – remove what does not serve fruitfulness. This seemed like a “dangerous” prayer when I journaled it. What will He ask me to surrender and will it be hard to let go? Will it …

Peaceful thoughts in quietness and trust

on 25 July 20258 August 2025 2 Comments on Peaceful thoughts in quietness and trust

Self-control is required for peace. I am reminded this week about the connection between peace and self-control, especially with regards to my thoughts. As an introvert, and highly sensitive person, this has always been an area of struggle. I am always in my thoughts, ruminating, and over-thinking. There are both strengths and weaknesses to being …

Let Him love you more

on 23 July 20251 September 2025 Leave a Comment on Let Him love you more

In the waiting, He is revealing to me His great love. He fights for, defends, and advocates for me. This is something that I am unaccustomed to and I’m still surprised to experience it. I’m thankful for the suffering that unveiled this. For, now, I am freed to let go of my own defences and …

hello friend!

This life was never meant to be an all-consuming sprint but a restful, joy-filled journey home. I invite you to take a moment, pause for a bit, and just breathe. I am so glad you are here!

Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
