Faithful and true

on 5 January 20265 January 2026 Leave a Comment on Faithful and true

Creative Worship Stamps has a new, faith-inspiring release out now and I just love this stamp set with the swans and the invitation to stillness as we start 2026. I was inspired to reflect on the story of the death and resurrection of Lazarus which is such a beautiful and powerful one. Jesus met the …

When love came down

on 26 December 202530 December 2025 Leave a Comment on When love came down

Love came down and lit our hearts. This changes how we live in the wait. Observing the season of Advent leads us to remember what God has done, with thanksgiving, while also looking ahead, with joyful anticipation, to what He promised to do in the future. May the joy of “God With Us” fill our …

Rest has seemed like such an unattainable thing for most of my life. My mind in particular is very much lacking in that. So, I certainly don’t know how to be at rest and this is why I am on this journey and sharing on this blog. God has been faithful to teach me so …

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 …

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."
